**********************************************************
Not even a Senate candidate is immune from strange goings on at the polling sites.
Wendy Long, the Republican candidate for Senate in New York, said she went to cast her vote Tuesday morning and got the runaround from a poll worker. Voting in the very blue New York borough of Manhattan, where voters fill out paper ballots, slip them into a privacy sleeve and then insert them into a scanner, Long said she had hers ripped away away by a poll worker.
"It was either just really bad training and complete ignorance or it was malfeasance.
- Wendy Long, New York Senate candidate
"A poll worker who was at the scanner studied my private ballot and proceeded to tell me that it was rejected because I did not 'fill in every space, Long said. She then proceeded to indicate that I should mark the Democratic line all the way down.
Long, a seasoned attorney who was a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and has served as an adviser to Mitt Romney for several years, said she knew better. She had elected not to mark the boxes next to Democrats who were running unopposed in local races, but that should not have made her ballot invalid.
I said, I'm sorry, but that just can't be the case ... that would force me to vote for people I don't want to vote for, Long, 52, recounted.

Long, who is running against incumbent Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillebrand and came to the polls with her family, said she demanded to be allowed to manually feed her own ballot into the scanner which worked.

The GOP may yet have
one more chance to address the rampant voter fraud problem in this nation.
GW Bush had a chance & took a pass.
All I can say is they'd better do something about it this time.

It will be a sad day when ballots no longer work in this country and other means of expressing political beliefs will emerge.

Those who commit voter fraud ‒ and those who abet them ‒ are voting for civil war.

At least she was not beaten up by some Black Panther with a iron pipe.

Even when they do address it with laws, you have to be prepared to keep fighting because the libtards find a lieral judge to block the law from going into effect, as what happened in wisconsin.

Did she demand the poll worker be removed and charged? If not, WHY not??!!
To: F15Eagle
Good point. Removed, yes. Arrested, questionable but a good clue as to how Democrats work. Long, if she wins, must know that you have to beat the Democrats with a stick just to keep them out of blatantly criminal acts, and with a 2 x 4 to keep them honest at the barest minimum.
File a formal criminal complaint against this “worker”. It will send more of a message than even winning the seat.
If you stand your ground, the rats will run away. Lesson learned.

From the article:
**********************************EXCERPT*********************************************
Long said she had her staff report it to the city board of elections, which promised to look into it.

“This is how the Rats win elections.”
Yup.
Todd Starnes of Fox News said MASSIVE, MASSIVE fraud was reported, done by Dems.

Some have pointed out in these last few days that the dems have been perfecting their cheat program for 4 years.
I think the more outlandish examples are akin to the sacrificial drug mules running nearby the mules with heavy high value loads. The real high value vote frauds slip by while we are astounded and focusing on a by nobama campaign poster in Polling Stations.

The shenanigans are so bad today. I can’t see how even a Rat would have any self respect left. What imbues them with the idea that their position has such virtue that it’s worth any amount of cheating to promulgate?
