Inaccurate sample ballots describing Republican Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. and Senate candidate Michael S. Steele as Democrats were handed out to voters in at least four polling sites in Prince George's County this morning.The ballots were handed out by people who said they arrived by buses this morning from Pennsylvania and Delaware.
...
After a two-hour bus ride to Maryland, Markle said the workers were greeted early this morning by first lady Kendel Ehrlich, who thanked them as they were outfitted in T-shirts and hats with the logo for Ehrlich's reelection campaign. Nearly all of those recruited, Markle said, are poor and black. Workers traveled to Maryland in at least seven large buses.
...
Ehrlich spokeswoman Shareese DeLeaver said the sample ballot was produced by a local branch of the campaign that targets Prince George's Democrats who support Ehrlich. She said it was not a deceptive effort.
Don't bother... some people like him just 'feel' reactions, and don't think.
Only 1 of the 3 has endorsed Steeler and 0 of the 3 have endorsed Ehrlich. It's a totally false claim.
Democrats, and rightfully so. This is wrong.
I believe they also supported the Democrat candidates for Comptroller and Attorney General. Yeah, these must have been Republican efforts.
Is the Post really that dumb?
Actually it's from the Steele and Ehrlich campaigns. They admit to it.
Some folks never fail to demonstrate their ignorance...
In addition to demanding proof of citizenship to vote - it would also protect the Republic to require voters to demonstrate some level of political comprehension beyond checking out the color of one's skin or simply voting the Preacher's ballot or Massa's field boss's ballot..
Semper Fi
That is not what this is. Not at all. This is a brochure saying that the following three black leaders support Democrats in general but are supporting Steele and Ehrlich this election. The problem is that THEY ARE NOT supporting those two (except one of them does support Steele).
They DID NOT endorse Steele and Ehrlich, except for 1 who ONLY endorsed Steele.
Every election has crossover groups , Democrats for Reagan, Republicans for Clinton, etc, What's the big deal? The complainers are predicating on the concept that Prince George County voters are mentally handicapped, a racist concept, but then, we already know the Cardin campaign is racist.
Wow, so MFume or however it is spelled supports Steele? I knew his son did, and it was suppose to be a backhanded support, but if this is true, then Steele will win.
The brochure states that those 3 black leaders endorsed Steele-Ehrlich, making them Steele-Ehrlich Democrats. The problem is THEY DID NOT endorse those two candidates. 1 of the 3 endorsed Steele -only-, and that is it.
Please read my responses on this thread. No one is bothering to read the article.
Well I hope they admit to it they were interviewed about it.
Mfume has not endorsed Steele or Ehrlich, he has endorsed Cardin, albeit with little enthusiasm. The flyer is misleading, especially since it apparently is from Ehrlich campaign according to his press secretary. I doubt that most voters even look at the flyers they are given at the polls, so it won't change anything either way, IMO.

Sort of lame if they bused in hired blacks from out of state to hand out literature - I actually now suspect this may have been the case with two guys I saw standing outside my polling site.
WAPO is short for The Washington Post.
I can, however, draw my own conclusions ... given the source.
