If so, please tell us about it. For an example of dirty tricks (this one was against Obama supporters) see: http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=5963751
. . . The flyer reads like a friendly letter to fellow students relaying a warning from an "Obama supporter": "He informed me that on the day of the election there will be undercover officers to execute warrants on those who come to vote based on the anticipated turnout," writes the anonymous student in the letter which was later posted on the Drexel College Democrats website http://drexeldems.org/?q=node/102 "He advised me if I had any outstanding warrants or traffic offenses I should clear them up prior to voting."
Political experts say the Drexel flyer is a classic example of voter suppression -- a practice that involves scaring, angering, or confusing voters so that they stay at home on Election Day.
. . .
Here's another, found in African-American neighborhoods in North and West Philadelphia http://www.philly.com/philly/hp/news_update/20081002_Vote-scam_fliers_target_black_neighborhoods.html
