GOP Sues Pennsylvania Over "Poll Watcher" Restrictions
zerohedge.com ^ | Oct 22, 2016

Pennsylvania has become ground zero for "election rigging" concerns over the past two election cycles. In 2012, Romney's performance in Philadelphia drew a huge amount of suspicion when he received exactly 0 votes in 59 voting divisions within the city.

In fact, the vote count within those 59 divisions was an astonishing 19,605 to 0.

While no one would argue that many Philadelphia neighborhoods tend to skew democratic, it certainly seems incredibly unlikely that, out of nearly 20,000 voters, not a single person preferred Mitt Romney.

Of course, the city also drew heavy criticism after the Black Panthers sent "security" to stand outside numerous polling stations with clubs.

So it should come as little surprise that the GOP recently filed a lawsuit seeking additional oversight of polling stations in Pennsylvania. According to the Washington Examiner, the GOP is specifically looking to lift restrictions that prevent poll watchers from serving in any county outside of their specific county of residence.

Pennsylvania's Republican Party wants to overturn a court order that restricts who can volunteer as poll watchers.

The GOP wants to overturn a declaratory judgment that would restrict poll watchers from serving only in their county of residence, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit comes as GOP nominee Donald Trump has pushed for poll watchers in Pennsylvania, saying that his supporters need to go to "certain areas and watch."

Oh yeah! They "skew" alright.

There's nothing "democratic" about stealing an election.

If it comes down to Pennsylvania, don’t concede.

Demand Filthydelphia votes be thrown out because of fraud. Probably could do the same in many big cities for the same reason.

Can a person ask to see how he voted after the fact?? Is there a record of HOW you voted somewhere?

Forget Philly. If Trump wins Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) he wins PA. It takes BOTH Philly and the Burgh to make PA go D.

Obvious voter fraud is obvious. They don't even try to hide it.
