Election Fliers Tell Voters In Latino Neighborhoods To “Take This Poll And Shove It”

Election fliers posted in the predominantly Latino neighborhoods of Rosemont and Worth Heights in Fort Worth list an incorrect voting date, telling people to vote on Saturday, November 10 instead of today. Simple mistake? Or simple “mistake?”:

The Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office was investigating the distribution of a bogus election flier that told people to vote Saturday.

The flier in English and Spanish featured the county logo and was marked “Official Notice.”

Oh shit. Someone’s messing with Texas!

Texas voters on Tuesday were deciding on 16 proposed constitutional amendments and a range of local issues. The faulty flier mentioned the amendments and the Fort Worth City Council District 9 race.

“If the intent was to confuse people, then that was a despicable thing to do,” Tarrant County Elections Administrator Steve Raborn said.

Who would do such a thing? Hmm. We’re not sure, but we have a few guesses.
