A Repeat of 2004 Philly Voter Chaos, Fraud
Townhall ^ | 4 November 2008 | Amanda Carpenter

Posted on 11/04/2008 5:16:58 AM PST by Erik Latranyi

GOP Election Board members have been have been tossed out of polling stations in more than half a dozen polling stations in Philadelphia because of their party status.

A liberal judge previously ruled that court-appointed Republican poll watchers could be removed from their boards by an on-site election judge, citing their "minority" status as cause.

It is the duty of election board workers to monitor and guard the integrity of the voting process.

Those on site as describing it as "pandemonium" and there may be video coming of the chaos.

Some of the precincts where Republicans have been removed are: the 44th Ward, 12th and 13th divisions; 6th Ward, 12th division; 32nd Ward, Division 28.

“Election board officials guard the legitimacy of the election process and the idea that Republicans are being intimidated and banned for partisan purposes does not allow for an honest and open election process,” said McCain-Palin spokesman Ben Porritt in a statement to Townhall.

The City of Brotherly Love was roiled in controversy during the 2004 election because of rigged voting machines that showed nearly 2,000 votes for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry before the polls had opened. A man also used a gun to intimidate poll workers at Ward 30, division 11 in 2004.

People need to be arrested and go to jail over this crap. Unfortunately, the Judge has given them cover.

And so it begins. But we would rather sit over here and feel sorry for the Marxists and weep for their Communist grandma’s while the enemy diligently and efficiently sets up the death camps for our people. Death of our beliefs. Death of our culture. Death of our freedoms and values.

Our side is so naive, trusting and gullible.

Here's a simple cure which does NOT suppress anyone's vote.

Cheers!

If people cannot vote without creating a scene, they should have their voting privileges removed.

Those creating the pandemonium were no doubt trained by a community organizer.

May I ask a dumb question? If Philly’s a lock for the messiah, why do this?

Pennsylvania elections are a contest of dead people, pets, and imaginary friends voting in Philly vs. the entire western and northern part of the state.

This is absurd. It is so obvious that corrupt election precincts, ACORN and whoever else is there are trying to steal Pennsylvania's electoral votes.

The Republican poll watchers should return along with heavily armed bodyguards.

“F” the media and the left-wing judges if they don’t like it.
