I'm trying to think up voter suppression ideas that work on Repubs....
In my area...... NASCAR Country, I thought after each race we could hand out tickets that let you pick up a few drops of motor oil from Dale Earnhardt's last race car. You could only get it on Tuesday and Wednesday..... The lines would be across the state line and the Repubs wouldn't be able to get back in time to vote.


Also, perhaps giving out vouchers that Repubs could send in with their tax returns that requires the government to throw a child out of Headstart or take food stamps away from a family in which the head just lost a job. That'd distract them!

13. Wait. I've got it. Send out a flyer..."No mullets allowed in voting booth"
because their hair could get caught in the mechanism. They must cut off that mullet or they can't vote. It's for their own safety, after all.

3. You could drop anvils on them
or put up a false "Detour" sign that leads them over a cliff. I understand you can order all the equipment you'll need from Acme.

5. How about, "Voting for * may not be enough to stop Kerry. Vote for
Nader and send a clear message that you don't want Kerry"?

6. Starting spreading the word...
...that Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Donald Wildomon, and the various other luminaries in the fundagelical universe received messages from God today that all true, Bible-believing Christians should stay away from the polls tomorrow because God is going to strike homosexuals, evolutionists, atheists, and DLC moderates dead on the spot and the Christians need to get out of the way of His Almighty Hand.

Let's see if we can get Tim LaHaye to write it up. It should work.

11. You need to include other groups that Repugs hate but they may be secretly
like fornicators, adulterers, pedophiles, the uneducated, single mothers, single women, income under $200,000, refused to serve in the military by using deferments.

7. Bush supports letting the sodomites have same-sex unions, which are
counterfeit marriage by another name. Four more years of Bush and we'll be up to our "ears in queers", Earl!

Vote for Badarnik (or whatever the hell his name is) he's the only REAL Christian on the ballot!

8. Tell them
that the voting will be on Wed (special whites only vote). If that doesn't work, tell them they need to pay their country club dues right away and in person or they'll lose their tee time.
