Pennsylvania: Democratic scare tactics

What do the Democrats do to excite their seemingly unexcitable base?

Scare the heck out of them!

That's what's happening in Pennsylvania's Bucks County.

From the Allentown Morning Call:

Workers at Bucks County's voter registration office fielded 70 calls on Tuesday and dozens more this past week from residents worried they wouldn't be able to vote on Election Day.

The reason: a series of Democratic Party absentee ballot letters -- under the letterhead of the fictitious Pennsylvania Voter Assistance Office -- warning recipients that their ability to vote in November could be threatened.

"They are concerned because, number one they think it is from us, and number two they don't understand why they are receiving it," said Deena Dean, director of Bucks County's election office. "They don't understand why their participation in the upcoming election might be in jeopardy."

Republicans blasted the letters, with a spokesman calling them "deeply troubling."
