RNC Locking-in Votes

The Bush-Cheney campaign has emphasized to its business allies the importance of urging employees to take advantage of new rules that allow them to vote weeks before Election Day.

Trade associations and companies are heeding the call. Many, such as the Business-Industry Political Action Committee (BIPAC) and The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, are poised to launch a massive effort to get pro-business voters to cast their votes in the next several weeks and not wait until Nov. 2.

Looks like Republicans want to lock-in some votes before supporters change their minds. Now, I don’t know about you, but I would have a serious problem with my employer “urging” me to vote under some timeline or in anyone direction.
