Good news:
More than half of the registered voters in many states have already voted!!! That means we know where the voting problems are and...we'll probably know the results ELECTION NIGHT! Also, the turnout is HUGE!!!!!! (See pictures at link below)

Bad news:
You know who else knows the early voting results? Georgia Secretary of State, Karen Handel...who is a Republican (who is NOT an Obamacan).

Karen Handel has vowed to challenge every vote in GA. She just signed an Executive Order that says anyone can challenge any vote or voter.

TO GEORGIANS WHO HAVEN'T VOTED YET

She sent out letters to almost 5,000 registered voters saying they have to file "challenge" ballots on Election Day. "Challenge" is another word for provisional ballot. Don't be fooled! They just want to give people provisional ballots which will be challenged by a panel made up of mostly Republicans. Guess what the verdict will be? Whatever you do, DON'T TAKE A PROVISIONAL BALLOT!!!

If you have received this letter from Karen Handel, report it to the Obama campaign immediately at (866) 675-2008, so the team can send lawyers to challenge this on your behalf.

If you haven't already voted, check your local registration office to make sure you're eligible to vote.

Fwd to everyone you know who knows someone in GA.
