Obama campaign responds to reports of voter misdirection:

We have reports from all over the country that students, poor folks, and African American and Latino voters are getting emails and text messages saying that election day and polling has been extended to tomorrow. Others are getting messages saying that due to long lines, Republicans vote today and Democrats vote tomorrow.

PLEASE FORWARD MESSAGES TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS AND CONTACTS LETTING THEM KNOW THAT ELECTION DAY IS TODAY ONLY! Both Democrats and Republicans vote TODAY only.

As long as they are in line by the closing of polls, they will be allowed to vote.
