(CNN) -- Osama bin Laden delivered a new videotaped message in which he told Americans their security does not depend on the president they elect, but on U.S. policy.

He also claimed responsibility for the attacks of September 11, 2001, which killed nearly 3,000 people.

"Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or al Qaeda," bin Laden said in the video aired on the Arabic language network Al-Jazeera.

Madison County auditor Joan Welch, a Democrat, said Thursday that her office had gotten some complaints weeks ago about ACT workers pressing voters too hard to sign requests for absentee ballots. “They’re pushing them. Some of those are voters who haven’t yet made up their minds and who do not feel comfortable giving the ballot to someone they don’t know,” Welch said.

One older Madison County woman called Welch’s office and, as Welch recounts the story, the ACT workers pressured her into signing an absentee ballot request form. “They were so insistent; she could not get rid of them,” Welch said.

As for the story of an ACT worker who supposedly told a homeowner in Madison County, “We’re not leaving until you fill out the ballot,” Berntsen said, “That does not sound like us. And no one has produced a real voter in Madison County to verify this story.”
