I do believe that the flyer is probably real. I do not think that "the Republicans" as in an organizes, recognized state committee or anything like that put it together. More likely some group of Bush supporters got themselves together and came up with this bright idea. I think people underestimate how effective this could be in deterring individuals not familiar with voting regulations from giving to the polls on Tuesday. While these statements are false and far-fetched, for some, the questions and confusion and threat of problems can scare them off.
Many of these types of tactics are done by folks who are pretty ignorant themselves and who harbor their own stereotypes about Black people as all criminal or uneducated and likely to fall for this type of crap.
