This one is like clockwork.  It’s the oldest trick in the book, and it comes out every election cycle.  From a phony flyer in Virginia:

Due to the larger than expected voter turnout in this years [sic] electoral process, An [sic] emergency session of the General Assembly has adopted the following emergency regulations to ease the load on local electorial [sic] precincts and ensure a fair electorial [sic] process.

All Democratic party supporters and independent voters supporting Democratic candidates shall vote on November 5th as adopted by emergency regulation of the Virginia General Assembly.

All Republican party supporters and independent voters supporting Republican candidates shall vote on November 4th as precribed [sic] by law.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but felt this was the only way to ensure fairness to the complete electorial [sic] process.

These kind of tactics are exactly the reason candidates started listing the election date in their ads (in fact, if I remember right, Obama was somewhat of a pioneer in this regard).
