So Philly will only have 105% turnout?
Which is why Barry, Eric and Michelle are fanning the flames.

This is truly an anachronistic organization that should have phased itself out after the passage of the Civil Rights Act.
I wouldn’t worry about it. I’ll bet the commie ‘RATS already have union thugs and al-Raza types filling out ballots.
