When I was at the local League of Women Voters office yesterday, they got a robo-call from the Republican Party of New Mexico. It bashed the Democrats in Congress for raising spending by $17 Billion in earmarks! It also said an absentee ballot application would be sent to me this week.

I don't think anyone is registered there, and they certainly don't donate to campaigns. Maybe these calls are going to any phone number. Someone should verify this with the State Party, since their name was on it.

Now there are reports the McCain campaign (or someone pretending to be them) has sent out absentee ballots to New Mexicans who donated to Obama. Supposedly the return envelopes have the address for the wrong county. Other swing states have reported different problems with these absentee ballots, such as confusing instructions that could easily invalidate a vote. Where is main stream media on this? Who is responsible for sending out these misleading ballots?
