Kerry's Source for Vote Suppression Charge: The Onion? Little Green Footballs Yesterday John F. Kerry, still moaning about the election, alleged that “leaflets had been handed out” telling Democrats to vote on the wrong day: <<< Kerry also cited examples Sunday of how people were duped into not voting. “Leaflets are handed out saying Democrats vote on Wednesday, Republicans vote on Tuesday. People are told in telephone calls that if you’ve ever had a parking ticket, you’re not allowed to vote,” he said. >>> I thought I’d heard every voter suppression claim, but this one was new to me. But I didn’t expect to discover that Kerry’s source for this accusation of nefarious Republican dirty tricks was ... The Onion? (Hat tip: efuseakay.) <<< MIAMI, FL—With the knowledge that the minority vote will be crucial in the upcoming presidential election, Republican Party officials are urging blacks, Hispanics, and other minorities to make their presence felt at the polls on Wednesday, Nov. 3. “Minority voters should make their unique voices heard, especially the African-American voting bloc, which is always a major factor in every election,” said Florida Republican Party voter-drive organizer Mark Monreal, as he handed out flyers at a community center in the mostly black Miami neighborhood of South Farms. “That’s why we put up hundreds of brightly colored banners featuring Martin Luther King Jr. and the ‘Vote November 3’ reminder. We needed to make sure they know when we want them at polling places.” theonion.com >>> UPDATE at 4/11/05 6:22:38 pm: James Taranto notes another possible source for Kerry’s accusation: ScrappleFace. opinionjournal.com scrappleface.com littlegreenfootballs.com
