So I’ve talked above in this thread about our voter-friendly ballot proposals here in Michigan this year. The opposition campaigns are in full swing, as evidenced by my mail today:
Sheesh, there is absolutely no subtlety here. Two black liberals pictured. Scaremongering about “unaccountable bureaucrats” being put in charge of voting. Nothing about conflict of interest in the current system. Fearmongering about how much it will cost. (None of which has any basis in fact, except possibly that Obama and Holder would support the measure, assuming they’re even aware that it exists.)
I guess this is my own fault for living in a almost-rural area at the very edge of the suburbs. Unfortunately I can see this flyer working on many of the folks who live in the area, particularly in the direction away from the city.
