Across the nation, some employers - notably David and Charles Koch, the billionaire brothers who help fund the conservative group Americans for Prosperity - are pushing their workers to vote for Republican Mitt Romney...
Several companies have sent out letters urging their employees to vote for Romney. The Koch brothers, who have given millions of dollars to back Romney and other Republicans, have come under fire for sending a "voter information packet" to 45,000 employees of Koch Industries' Georgia Pacific.
Several dozen billboard signs have popped up in mostly black and low-income communities.
Most had a large picture of a judge's gavel and said "Voter Fraud is a Felony!" punishable by up to 3-1/2 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
They were paid for by an anonymous group described only as "private family foundation."
In New Mexico, meanwhile, the state attorney general is investigating possible voter suppression after a video - secretly recorded - was circulated showing a Republican Party leader giving false information to volunteer poll monitors.
The Republican official can be heard saying that challengers could demand that voters show IDs and could prevent voters from requesting interpreters - neither of which are true.
