I hope if there are any state level recount scenarios after this election, the Republicans out do Gore and the Democrats in 2000.

Concerned, I'm more "concerned" about this than I am about names on a roll. Names on a roll are not equal to a vote for Romney... but apparently a vote for Obama equals a vote for Romney.

45002. concerned - 11/6/2012 5:55:30 PM

Well, maybe not. Republicans naturally respect laws more than Gore and Democrats do.

... you are so full of turds with that post after my video ...

45004. concerned - 11/6/2012 5:56:25 PM

RE. 45001 -

Can't see the video from where I am. Context or another cite, please.

45005. concerned - 11/6/2012 5:56:53 PM

Re. 45003 -

See my 45004 and retract.

45006. iiibbb - 11/6/2012 5:58:15 PM

The context is that there is a video of someone making their vote on an electronic voting machine. They press "Obama" and the check mark goes next to "Romney"... they do this 3 or 4 times checking and unchecking "Romney" by pressing "Obama".

Why would a voting machine do this?

45007. concerned - 11/6/2012 6:02:00 PM

I've seen numerous reports of exactly the opposite with these machines in Ohio.

The explanation by the voting machine operators in these instances is that they required 'calibration' which does seem a bit questionable.

I haven't jumped to any conclusions of intentional fraud here - at least not yet.

45008. concerned - 11/6/2012 6:03:59 PM

And the Black Panthers are back at Philly voting sites 'monitoring' elections (e.g. intimidating voters).

45009. iiibbb - 11/6/2012 6:05:55 PM

This kind of thing shouldn't even be _possible_.

Why all ballots are not serial numbered scan-trons I'll never know. Automatic paper trail. Repeatable. Verifiable. Virtually anyone in the world can do one.

Pissed at Mitt?

Chrysler is giving the entire workforce the day off to vote.

This is real time for you, iiibbb. Are you ok with this or will you activate your conscience and protest it?

Philly GOP: Poll inspectors being ousted for Dems

excerpt:

Court-appointed Republican poll inspectors are being forcibly removed from voting stations in some Philadelphia wards and replaced in some cases by Democratic inspectors and even members of the Black Panthers, according to GOP officials.

Secrets just received this memo from GOP officials:

The Philadelphia GOP is reporting that court appointed Minority (read GOP) Inspectors are being thrown out of polling locations in several Wards.

These Inspectors are election officials - again, court appointed -- and are reportedly being thrown out by the Head Judges of Elections (these Judges are elected Democrats) and being replaced by Democrats.

This has happened at the following locations:

Ward 32, Div 13

Ward 43, Div 14

Ward 56, Div 1

Ward 56, Div 22

Ward 32, Div 28

Ward 32, Div 28

Ward 12, Div 17

Ward 39, Div 1

Ward 24, Div 9

Ward 18, Div 25

Ward 43, Div 14

Ward 29, Div 18

Ward 65, Div 19

Ward 20, Div 1

Ward 6, Div 11

Another official told Secrets: "one of our female inspectors was physically thrown out."

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney decided at the last minute to make stops in Pennsylvania, believing that the race there was close enough that he could win.


I think the Philadelphia police should intervene and ensure that the court appointed GOP observers are allowed to do their job.

You for or against that, iiibbb?

Any of you from the Left not fine with what Democrats are doing in Philly here?

45013. concerned - 11/6/2012 6:13:44 PM

Don't tell me that Democrat vote fraud is not a problem.

45014. concerned - 11/6/2012 6:14:30 PM

Forget the Philadelphia police - the Pennsylvania state police should restore order at these polling locations.

Don't like Nate? How about Shamans?


LIMA — Using maracas, coca leaves and a hallucinogenic brew, shamans in Peru got down to business Monday using pre-Columbian traditional ceremonies to pick a winner in the US presidential race.

“The apus (gods of the hills in indigenous mythology) tell us (Barack) Obama will be reelected,” predicted Juan Osco, known as the Shaman of the Andes on San Cristobal hill overlooking Lima.


45016. concerned - 11/6/2012 7:19:44 PM

I sent an email to the governor of Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia Police Commissioner alerting them to this organized Democrat vote fraud attempt.

45017. judithathome - 11/6/2012 7:42:27 PM

Did you alert them to the fact Republicans have stacked the decks by forcing senior citizens to jump through hoops and spend money they can ill afford to get a voter ID card and then, today, stand on line for 7 hours to vote? Does that make you angry enough to go out and scream at people?

Not to worry...I'm sure you're now on a list of "people to watch" so you'll get someone's attention should you be so moved. Heh.

Dear America, if you elect that imbecile Romney, the world will point at you and laugh and I, personally, may never speak to you again.

Are we supposed to guess where this happened or is happening? Generally senior citizens tend to vote more Republican, so your theory that Republicans are so-and-so's who deliberately did this to seniors is total hogwash on that basis alone.

Voter ID cards are free for the registration, AFAIK, and mine was mailed to my home address.

Here's how it works: You move somewhere, you register as a voter and before the next election sometime you receive a voter registration card in the mail with your voting location address. All you have to do is make it to your mailbox and then your voting location. You don't even need the card when you vote if you have some other form of ID.

Maybe somebody is pulling your leg here, JAH?
