Funny business in Philly: GOP officials booted, Black Panthers return -- and Obama at polling site?

Fox ^

A Pennsylvania judge is issuing an order to reinstate Republican election officials across Philadelphia who allegedly were ejected or refused entry by on-site Democratic voting chief judges, GOP officials tell Fox News.  One Republican official claimed that "just under 70" Republican election officials were blocked from Philadelphia polling sites Tuesday morning by Democrats on site. One of them, the official claimed, "was shoved out of the polling place."

Notice how the voting booth is placed so as not to obscure the Obama quotation.

Isn’t electioneering within 100 yards a federal crime?

Father, we thank You for strong turnout in the rest of Pennsylvania to override Philadelphia, in Jesus’ Name!

...flippin illiterates at work. Poor fools cannot see that Obama has brought them greater unemployment than any other group.... and accordingly greater handouts to further diminish them “as a people”..... but then again, they are Holders and Obamas “people”.

at least they’ll be there at pole closing time that’s when the rats steal votes from the voters list that didn’t show up. Then they wait for the call to see how many dead and felon list votes are needed. Seal teams at the ready. 60 seconds to drop.

Back in place...

“HARRISBURG, PA—Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Rob Gleason released the following statement regarding the first court order issued by the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas to seat Republican Minority Inspectors in Philadelphia Polling places:

“This was a shameless attempt from the Obama campaign to suppress our legally appointed Republican poll watchers in Philadelphia and they got caught,” Chairman Rob Gleason said.

“We’ve seen these shenanigans before and it’s clear that Democratic operatives and the Obama campaign are desperate; trying to shield Republican Minority Inspectors who are employees of the City of Philadelphia today from monitoring election activities. It certainly raises the question, what are Democrats doing in the polls that they are working so hard to shield folks from monitoring this election?”

So far this morning, Democratic operatives prohibited 75 legally credentialed Republican election workers from accessing polling places in heavily Democratic areas in Philadelphia. Incidents ranged from judges of elections refusing to seat Republican Minority Inspectors and Clerks, to reports of Democratic election operatives announcing that “No Republicans will be allowed in the polling place.”

As a result, the Republican Party of Pennsylvania petitioned the Court to issue formal orders to force Democratic judges of elections to seat Republican minority inspectors and clerks. The Court said that they will issue around 6-12 Orders with approximately 6 – 10 names per Order.”

Thuggery in Philadelphia. This needs to get as wide publicity as possible, before the Polls close, this evening.

Thanks for posting this!

Here's their BullSh!t excuse for tossing these Republicans out......

"It happens all the time," Voigt said. He said court-appointed Republican officials typically show up on Election Day and end up squaring off against stand-in officials at the polling sites filling in the open seats. Part of the problem, he said, is that the Republican inspectors are appointed on relatively short notice, leading to a string of confrontations on Election Day.

Ya riiiight.....the republicans were fighting with each other thats why we threw them out.......B---SH!T...

Here is an article from 2008, USAToday. Read it, and take a step back, and think about what is going on - and what happened in Iraq.

I see some parallels.

Sure is. When I worked the polls we were instructed that no political marketing was allowed within 100 ft. of the polling place. Clothing that depicted a particular candidate was also not allowed!

This is wrong. Just wrong. This mural is on the walls of the polling place in Philly.

[9YearLurker]

The mural, of course, should be covered over for the voting.

Why don’t all those Democrat election judges get sent to jail? Why are they allowed to blatantly interfere with free elections?

What good are rhetorical questions?

Unless these are the "Republican" stand-in officials which the Dems let in:

Apparently only for conservative candidates and issues.

[oust the louse]

I’m sure if anything happens Omoron will tell them to stand down. He’s got that phrase down pat...

How primitive...this is third world stuff.

1/2 dozen Vets should take care of this.

What the hell?

Is a mural like that legal?

Someone should spray paint it off.
