COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A bogus letter circulating in South Carolina, purporting to be from the NAACP, threatens the arrest of voters who have outstanding parking tickets or failed to pay child support. The NAACP said Friday the letter is a scare tactic and called for an investigation.

"I'm outraged,'' said Jill Miller, director of the Charleston County Board of Election and Voter Registration. "This is so bogus.''

The Rev. Joe Darby, vice president of the state chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said he received the one-page letter - which had a Columbia postmark with no return address - at his Charleston home.

He said it was an attempt to frighten minorities from voting Tuesday because the letter-writer assumes black people are in trouble with the law.

"This is old South Carolina politics,'' said Darby. "I don't think anybody will fall for this.''

Darby said he wants the State Law Enforcement Division to investigate.

The letter also says voters must have a credit check, provide two forms of photo identification, a Social Security card, a voter registration card and a handwriting sample.

"None of that is true,'' said Miller. "I certainly hope no voter would be taken in by this.''

Miller said voters need to show just one piece of identification - a voter registration card, a South Carolina driver's license or a motor vehicles department-issued photo ID card.
