Is Locke Trying to Suppress Votes?

Or is his campaign so chaotic they simply don't know what they are doing? I'm referring to the text message that went out from the Locke campaign yesterday morning:

TODAY is the final day for early voting. Gene launches second ad: http://bit.ly/3tuOJM Join us for Debate Watch Party Saturday! http://bit.ly/W4jhp

Misleading voters is not really an "oops" you can get away with. A couple of informed politicos contacted me, and reminded me that the Department of Justice gets involved in instances of campaigns giving out wrong information about the date of an election. It's a Voting Rights Act offense. There are numerous incidents of these sorts of dirty tricks in elections (google is your friend, here).

Of course, Democrat Locke is endorsed by Republican Harris County Clerk Beverly Kaufman who is on record as being against the Voting Rights Act. Not only did Kaufman endorse Locke, she did a robo call for him (listen to that at this link). Not only that, she runs the elections in Harris County! I got a nice email from her yesterday (press release) telling me lots of good info about this election. All I could hear in my head as I read the email, was "and vote for Gene Locke for Mayor."

Why would Locke want to suppress votes? No idea. But, I do know when I've passed this sort of stuff off as "oh, a simple mistake" in the past, I've been wrong. So, I've learned to ask the question about more nefarious motives.

So, I ask again: Is Locke trying to suppress votes or is his campaign clueless?

You can vote in the poll at the right.
