[Publib] Voting @ Your Library

[Backwage at aol.com]

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — For weeks now, James Jones has been extra courteous in  
traffic and at the gas station because he has an Obama sticker on the back of  
his truck. “Something like that might make a difference for Barack Obama,” 
Mr.  Jones explained. “I’m not taking a chance.” 
Mr. Jones, a black warehouse worker, bought campaign signs for his yard and  
made sure his family had valid voter registration cards. He and his wife cast  
their votes 10 days early to avoid last-minute problems at the polls.  
So imagine Mr. Jones’s disappointment this week when he got word of a rumor  
making its way around his humble southeastern part of town — that early voting 
 is nothing more than a new disenfranchisement scam, that early votes are 
likely  to be lost and never counted.  
“I went to the library where I voted and I said, ‘Ma’am, I heard rumors that 
 early voting is dangerous, is that true?’ ” Mr. Jones, 47, said he had  
asked an election worker. “She said: ‘It’s pretty well safe. I wouldn’t worry  
about it.’ ”
