GOP blasts voting access for fans at Madison rally

This article conveys the lengths that the Democrats will go to WIN. Don't concern yourself with the issues, don't think about long-term implications of your actions - just 'have good time and go vote for the guy that made your day fun!':
"In the latest in a series of allegations of voter fraud, Wisconsin Republicans cried foul over the Kerry campaign's plan to urge supporters to go to the city clerk's office after the rally and vote by absentee ballot."
Additional issues raised in the article:
During a news conference Wednesday, Graber pointed to a letter sent to Michael Benson, a Fond du Lac Republican who supports Bush, as the latest example. Graber and national Republican Party Chairman Ed Gillespie said it constituted mail and election fraud.

"It's clear they will stop at nothing to carry the state of Wisconsin," Graber said of the Democrats.

The return address on the letter is the same as the Republican National Committee's headquarters in Washington, D.C., but the letter bore a Madison postmark. The letter, on "GOP.com" letterhead, was signed by "Chairman Herman Gillespie," not Ed Gillespie.

The letter thanked Benson for contributions to the Republican Party, but said: "I am requesting that you now throw your support to John Kerry as I have recently decided to do.
Please! What does this say about campaigns that treat the electorate with so little respect? Then again, why do so many people open that e-mail that says "You've just won!". Maybe we are a gullible rabble.
