A leaked page from the Kerry Edwards Democratic Election Colorado Election Day Manual, November 2004:

"If no signs of intimidation techniques have emerged yet, launch a pre-emptive strike (particularly suited to states in which there techniques have been tried in the past).
• Issue a press release
    i. Reviewing Republican Tactic used in the past in your area or state
    ii. Quoting party/minority/civil rights leadership as denouncing tactics that discourage people from voting
• Prime Minority leadership to discuss the issue in the media; provide talking points
• Place stories in which minority leadership expresses concern about the threat of intimidation tactics
• Warn local newspapers not to accept advertising that is not properly disclaimed or that contains false warnings about voting requirements and/or about what will happen at the polls

In other words plant a seed if discontent in the minds of minoritys to make them think the Republicans are trying to take away their right to vote. Cause anger against Republicans if none exists.

If you think these tactics are acceptable, replace the word Republican with Democrat, replace Kerry Edwards with G W Bush, reread the page and see if it still acceptable.
