In addition to voter caging, this adds one more illegal dimension to the mis-directed e-mails, Hatch Act violations.
I just read a web page with the "catch-all" georgewbush.com e-mails.
http://2004.georgewbush.org/deadletteroffice/headers.aspThe following e-mail indicates use of the U. S. government e-mail system to conduct political action.

Greetings,
I look forward to speaking with each of you within the next 24 hours to review our mission and your specific assignment for the convention. Your role in enabling effective coverage of our convention on the major networks is a critical one and we've got a great team. We've got a lot of work to do in the coming weeks, but hopefully will have some fun too.
