I hope you win!

42nd and Baltimore- Met a man who was unable to vote because someone else had already voted in his name.

Get out! I used to live right around there. Never had a problem in the 10 years I voted in that precinct. Why we don't demand ID to vote, I don't know.

Also, I heard Rush say that several voting machines arrived at the polling places in Philly w/votes already on them. Have you heard anything about that?

Get a handful of disposable cameras (in case they get grabbed and wrecked) and take pictures. In fact, you should take pictures with a camera, quickly walk away, stealtily swap it with an second identical camera with a few random shots on it, and hide the first one. If a thug comes up and demands the camera, hand them the second one and get the first one developed. A hidden tape recorder could be useful, too. I'm sure that Hannity, Rush, etc. would be more than happy to give you publicity if you have proof. It sounds like pictures would be easy. Of course you should try to take the pictures without them noticing. Try just pointing and shooting from afar.

Of course make sure that this doesn't violate local laws. I'm sure the Democrats would amazingly find this "voter intimidation" and throw the book at you.

There was an article about this on Free Republic from four years ago, written by a woman who worked for Carter in 1976 during the primaries, describing that same problem.

If you do get a good shot on a disposable camera (get 12 exposure cameras), don't use it again because each time you use one, it could get grabbed and destroyed. Use a fresh camera for every polling place.

Good luck to you 2nite. I hope you have a good election lawyer on your team.

You folks don't get it. Calling in all the so called authorities media GOP etc. is like calling 911 when your being robbed or threatened with your life. By the time anything is done it will be to late. Where our the men in PA to stand up to the thugs on the spot and protect the voters who are being intimidated as they walk in?

Philadelphia is gone and has been gone for many years, especially central and South Philadelphia. It is a total waste of time. And unfortunately, so is a Republican seeking office there.

BTW, the REPUBLICAN PARTY in Philadelphia is an arm of the Democratic party. There is no REAL Republican party in Philadelphia.

Regarding Democratic voter fraud and intimidation, DEMOCRAT Lynn Abraham will never, ever lift a finger to do anything about it. Lying Lynne is as dishonest as they come, is one of THEM and always will be.

[TAdams8591]

For some reason Dom (God love'em) refuses to go after Lynn
Abraham, which is odd because she is a solid crony of Ed Rendell's. He even cut off two callers after they made negative comments about her. Most disappointing.

Truer words were never spoken. I practiced law when I lived in Philly and it used to sicken me when I had to see her around and on TV.

btw - just came back from voting in Seattle. No lines in my little neighborhood. Some older folks, no intimidation, just a bake sale.

It was really something out of a Norman Rockwell painting - little kids in class, halls decorated for the season, paper ballots, little old lady volunteers, ok, a few diversity posters, but really, it was quite an old fashioned American experience.

[TAdams8591]

I am posting from the library located in the same building as my polling place. Nice little old ladies holding a bake sale, Halloween decorations and falling leaves, pretty much the same as the picture you aptly describe.

Lyin' Lynne makes many of us nauseous.

I was a poll counter, and I was actually shocked to see how many Democrats are out here in the country. They were talking about HUNTING, and they're Dems. Can you believe it?

Then I had to go to Allentown, and teenagers were all over street corners with Kerry signs going crazy. I gave them the THUMBS DOWN.

I'm tense because I'm sensing people have been brainwashed by Farenheit 911.

[Nightshift]

HOPE YOU OK. HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING SINCE YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING OVER

[CaptRon]

Must be a Federal Voting Rights Act in there somehwere.

[CaptRon]

That should be a Federal Voting Rights Act violation in there somehwere.

[SauronOfMordor]

On TV was hearing report of woman going into poll in (main white, somewhat Republican) SOuth Philly and disabling two of the voting machines. She was colared but not placed under arrest.
