GOP Calls to Discourage Voting

WEST VIRGINIA- Local republicans get a slap on the wrist after they are accused of trying to persuade democrats not to vote.
Most polls show that the race between President George W. Bush and Sen. John Kerry is still very close in West Virginia, and each camp is going the distance to clench a victory for their candidate.

But now, election officials believe some in the Eastern Panhandle are going too far.

In a letter, Berkeley County clerk John Smalls cites calls from a cell phone were made to Eastern Panhandle democrats telling them that they were not registered to vote. The letter also said the calls informed democrats in some cases they wouldn`t be able to vote on Election Day.
