MSN NBC just talked about it and found a article here.

Over the past several days, voters throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia have filed complaints of incidents aimed at suppressing voter turn out in heavily Democratic and African American neighborhoods. Today, the Secretary of the Virginia State Board of Elections Jean Jensen concluded that the incidents appear widespread and deliberate.
This is very serious and complaints have come about robo-calls telling people their voting place has changed, telling people that if they registered in another state they will be arrested, and Fliers being passed out. This is again very serious. Wide spread PROOF of voter suppression in action.
There are now credible reports from multiple jurisdictions around the Commonwealth that establish a pattern of dirty tricks being employed to confuse and frustrate Virginia's voters from exercising their right to vote tomorrow. In addition to reports that have been received by the Democratic Party of Virginia, these local election officials have been receiving reports from concerned voters," said Jack Young, co-chair of Promote the Vote.
Documented incidents of suppression incidents include:
1) Calls that Voting will Lead to Arrest.
Tim Daly from Clarendon got a call saying that if he votes Tuesday, he will be arrested. A recording of his voicemail can be found online at: www.webbforsenate.com/media/phone_message.wav
2) Widespread Calls, Allegedly from "Webb Volunteers," Telling Voters that their Polling Location has Changed.
3) Fliers in Buckingham County Say "SKIP THIS ELECTION" (paid for by the RNC) have caused many in the African American community to call the Board of Elections to see if the election is still on. The full tag line says: "SKIP THIS ELECTION... (and then in smaller print): Don't Let the Tax and Spend Liberals Win."
4). Voter Machine Problems
a. On many ballots in heavily Democratic neighborhoods, Jim's name is cut off. The ballots say: "James H. (Jim)" with no Webb.
b. New reports that ballots in Essex County have Jim's name split on 2 pages. The "James H (Jim)" on one page, "Webb" on the next.
c. Reports of voting machines in Isle of White that do not provide a clear image of the ballot, making voting a challenge.
This is very important and people need to pay attention.
If people are able to provide more information I will try to post. I just heard this on MSN NBC and tried to find the first article I could. I have not seen any other articles or information on this other then what is out right now. As far as I know this is just breaking.
