Voters’ rights advocates said they continue to battle enduring rumors intended to disenfranchise as the Nov. 4 presidential election nears.

Since establishing a “disenfranchise hotline” last week, Marvin “Doc” Cheatham, president of the Baltimore chapter of the NAACP, said he has received hundreds of inquiries about false election rumors. Some voters have received e-mails that suggest foreclosed homeowners will not be allowed to vote, he said. False rumors that anyone wearing campaign buttons or T-shirts will be turned away from the polls also are circulating.
