It wouldn't be an election day without shenanigans. Apparently in Maryland, some cell phone users have gotten texts saying that voting lines are too long and to come back tomorrow. The ACLU's on the case, in partnership with the state attorney general's office, to investigate who is sending these messages. I'm glad they have snatched this up and will work toward bringing the culprits to justice. How SHADY and DISTURBING.
"Getting people misinformation about their right to vote to keep them from exercising the franchise is fundamentally undemocratic and unfortunately a growing problem that must be countered immediately," says Meredith Curtis, spokeperson for the Maryland ACLU.
