Iata aşa un text a fost difuzat prin poşta electronică în SUA în octombrie 2008:
"Historically, Election Day in the U.S. is always the first Tuesday, following the first Monday, of November. That date would be Tuesday,November 4 in the year 2008. But with the voter turnout expected to be historically high, given the nature of this Presidential election, apparently there is a change taking place in this year's procedure.
Voting will take place over two days instead of just one. Everyone that appears at the polls Tuesday, November 4, 2008, will only be allowed to vote for Republican Party candidates. If you want to vote for a Democratic Party candidate, or a split party ticket, you are to appear at the polls on Wednesday, November 5, 2008. This is to eliminate long lines and delays in voting.
For some reason this procedural change has not been covered very well so far by the media. But I'm sure it will get more coverage as we get closer to Election Day(s). So that all of our votes can count, please pass this along to everyone that you think may want to vote for any Democratic Party candidates, including Barack Obama.
See you at the polls!"
Un mesaj similar a circulat şi în 2000. Sunt sigură că în SUA s-au găsit oameni naivi, care să ia această informaţie drept una adevărată. Sper că PR-specialistul Partidului Republican a primit un premiu corespunzător eforturilor creative depuse :)
