State elections officials have identified the person responsible for a phony election flier that told Republicans to vote on Tuesday and Democrats to vote a day later.
State Board of Elections Secretary Nancy Rodrigues said Monday the flier bearing the Virginia seal and the elections board logo was a joke that got out of control. The flier was distributed early last week across Hampton Roads. State police confirmed it also was distributed by e-mail.
State officials declined to name the person who created the flier or a second person who began distributing it.
While distribution of false information to voters is a misdemeanor, state police spokeswoman Corinne Geller says no charges would be filed.
