Apparently the McCain camp has sent out over a million misleading absentee ballot applications to likely Democratic voters in the purple states.
If these applications are sent as registered mail and are not picked up out of the mailbox within a certain amount of time, the recipients can be challenged on election day.
Or, if they are returned without checking an unneeded "I am a registered voter" check box, then these recipients can be challenged at the polling place.
This is vote caging and it is illegal.

Amusingly, Republicans are getting burned by this and are being told "Can't help you" by the Ohio officials:So McCain sends out a shitty absentee ballot application and it's the Democrat's fault? 
Some local Ohio paper wrote:
COLUMBUS - More than 1,000 absentee ballot applications in Greater Cincinnati have been ruled invalid because Republican Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign printed a version of the form with an extra, unneeded box on it.
The forms were sent to more than 1 million registered voters statewide, according to a McCain spokesman in Ohio.
The McCain forms included a box voters can mark to declare themselves qualified to vote. But Democratic Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner says that if the box isn't checked, circled or initialed, the application is no good. Those voters are essentially admitting they're not eligible, she said.
That ruling has drawn howls from Republicans, who say it's an attempt to disenfranchise them. Election officials say it could wreak havoc in the weeks leading up to the Nov. 4 election.
