BBC TV reports GOP votes swindle
flagthefly

Posted on 10/27/2004 8:24:54 AM PDT by flagthefly

Yesterday BBC's Newsnight programme had as its leading story a report about alleged rigging procedures by the GOP with regard to early voters. Two claims: votes by African Americans were said to be falsified after the voting act, to make them into Rep votes. And private investigators were said to be posted in front of voting locations, to scare away impressionable (?) black voters from voting at all. It all looked completely made up, choreographed, and diligently scripted beforehand. Funniest part was when a young black voter was refused at the ballot box, then went in again followed by heavy BBC camera machinery, and then was allowed to vote because of the media accompanying him. I say funny, because I saw through it all. But it would be very sad if many folks would fall for such an atrocious scam. Did any of this reach the USA? Cheers, flaggie.

Sounds like a Monty Python skit.

Yesterday I posted this from the BBC NEW FLORIDA VOTE SCANDAL FEARED and it was supposed to have been shown on Newsnight yesterday. I don't think it had much of an impact and I'm sure not many viewers. Apparently if the BBC is monitoring anything about our elections it's probably false allegations!

Between the lines, I might be reading that those leftist bastards have gotten the scoop that this election might be over for their favorite son.

Some things are missing here, like the state and location.

All the early voting sites in my county are in dem strongholds. I just don't believe dems would allow this, so I refuse to believe it happened.

I am not a 'rat nor a troll -
but a newbie. I couldn't immediately find any relevant link but will look for it - promised. But ask any UK resident who saw Newsnight and they will confirm my story. And yes, it was like Monty Python and I should have recorded it...
Cheers, flaggie.
