lots of ads and mailers before the election that when they show their ID to vote they’ll be arrested and taken away

I've seen a mailer providing false information that a certain very liberal group (out-of-state college students) wasn't allowed to vote, but I've never seen something like this. Do you have a link to an example of it?

This is an example regarding mail-in voting (for our Canadian friends, republiQans are very much trying to prevent this as well for the same reason)

This is republiQans threatening other republicans to vote as they demand.

This is the threat-to-arrest mailer wrt ACORN, which is a whole other rant, but particularly relevant.
