‘Misinformation’ sent to thousands of DuPage voters - DailyHerald.com

http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20121030/news/710309763/

To the best of my understanding, York precinct 112 is voting on November 6th at the YORK TOWNSHIP OFFICE ON MEYERS ROAD, just as we have in recent elections.

Only early voting is at a different place.

All the best, if you work and vote for it,
