Major Voting Issues Hamper Election Day Voting in Pennsylvania And Elsewhere
American Greatness ^ | 5 Nov, 2024 | Debra Heine

Posted on 11/06/2024 4:36:29 AM PST by MtnClimber

Widespread voting issues are being reported throughout Pennsylvania, hampering Election Day voters in the key battleground state.

Early this morning, Democrat election officials reportedly blocked Republican poll watchers in Philadelphia, York, Westmoreland, Allegheny, Lehigh, Cambria, Wyoming, and Lackawanna Counties from doing their jobs.

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley reported on X at 6:42 a.m. ET that GOP lawyers engaged with local officials, and he could “now report that all Republican poll watchers have been let into the building(s).”

“We will keep fighting, keep winning, and keep sharing updates,” Whatley added.

“Refusing entry to R poll observers is illegal. Stopping this issue dead in its tracks is EXACTLY why we designed this EI [Election Integrity] operation,” Republican National Committee (RNC) co-Chair Lara Trump posted on X. “Let this serve as a warning to anyone out there today who wants to interfere in a free, fair and transparent election process, WE ARE WATCHING & ready to take action.”

Meanwhile, scanning machines have reportedly broken down in multiple counties, including Bedford, Cambria, Clearfield, and Somerset counties.

“I’m in a deep red part of swing state Pennsylvania, and all the voting machines are broken across this county and the neighboring ones,” one PA voter reported on X. “People are stranded in line, and a constable told them they don’t get the machines working by 10PM, they will turn people away.”

Some precincts have put cast paper ballots in lock boxes to be scanned at a later time, WJAC 6 News reported.

Other precincts have reportedly told voters to return later in the day once the machines are fixed. Election officials in Bedford County told 6 News that they were working to fix the machines and keeping cast ballots in a lock box until they could be tabulated.

6 News reached Pennsylvania’s Department of State and was directed to the Cambria County Election Office, which could not be reached.

“We understand that there are some line delays on the ground. We need you to stay in line,” Whatley posted on X. “We need you to fill out your ballot in full and deliver it. Our Pennsylvania lawyers are all over this issue and will ensure fairness and accuracy in the process. Stay in line! Deliver your ballot!”

According to Article 3 Project Founder Mike Davis, Democrats were fighting in court against a three-hour extension to ensure voters can vote amid the irregularities.

“Kamala Democrats are fighting to disenfranchise voters on Election Day,” Davis posted on X.

In Cambria County, the GOP was able to secure a court order extending voting hours until 10 PM to make up for the issues, Lara Trump announced on X. “STAY IN LINE! VOTE!” she said.

In the 2022 midterm election in Maricopa County, Ariz., approximately 25 percent of the tabulators malfunctioned, severely impacting the heavily Republican Election Day vote, resulting in the election of the then-Secretary of State Katie Hobbs for Governor.

Another voting issue that has emerged in Pennsylvania are ballots pre-marked with a tiny dot for Harris. Voters are being advised to inspect their ballot for the dot and request another one if they see it.

Cynthia Yockey, co-chair of the Jefferson County, Iowa Republican Central Committee explained on X: “The way this ballot scam works is that the dot in the box for Harris is covered up if you vote for her, but if you vote for Trump it counts as an over-voted ballot so it be marked as spoiled and won’t count.”

Republican politician Kathy Barnette, who ran for U.S. Senate in the 2022 PA primaries, posted on Twitter that she encountered this issue at her polling station in Montgomery County, Penn., this morning.

Barnette said a poll worker told her: “When you get your ballot and if you see that little dot,” pointing to Harris/Walz’s name, “ask for a new ballot.”

Flabbergasted, Barnette said she asked if they were alerting everyone as they walked in and they said they were trying to.

“Did the GOP not inspect the ballot before they were printed?” she asked. “Did the RNC not inspect the ballot before they were printed? Did the Trump campaign NOT inspect the ballot before they were printed?”

Update:

Google is being accused of election interference by only helping Harris voters find their polling places.

When one searches for where to vote for Harris, Google displays an interactive tool to look up your nearest polling location. If you ask where to vote for Trump, no such tool appears, but the latest election headlines from CNN, CBS and NBC do appear at the top of the page.

Google is the biggest corporate donor to the Democratic Party.

Update:

There have also been problems in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lara Trump reported on X.

Throughout the day we have been monitoring slow ballot counting in Milwaukee. Now, our legal team has learned that the counting took place in unsecured conditions and the city now has to start over, wildly extending the counting timeline. This is an unacceptable example of incompetent election administration in a key swing state: voters deserve better and we are unambiguously calling on Milwaukee’s officials to DO THEIR JOBS and count ballots quickly and effectively. Anything less undermines voter confidence. We will update the situation when we know more.

There was also an issue with tabulators in Milwaukee’s central count not being properly closed, the Wisconsin State Journal reported on X.

This is a developing story. Stay tuned for updates.

With real election reform, PA will become like Florida — hey, it used to be a battleground state. But now it’s Red.

Republicans will look the other way and act distracted like they did in 2020. They will call us conspiracy theorists for suggesting that there is voter fraud occurring

The magnitude of Trump’s 2024 Pa win w/ some 200,000 votes calls into
question Biden’s 2020 Pa “win” (and 20 electorals) with an 85,000 vote plurality.


We demand to know ASAP whether Francisco Heredia’s Field + Media Corps
engaged in strategic media and field work for Biden, including its vaunted:
<><>voter registration campaigns, now under criminal investigation
<><>door-to-door canvassing,
<><>handling ballots,
<><>organizing phone banks,
<><>and texting voters (which could involve electronic fraud).

Backstory
Fieldcorps-—a latino-centric Arizona company——has been
fingered as being behind illegal PA voter registrations:
<><>Francisco Heredia, CEO and partner of Field + Media Corps is the Dem vice mayor of Mesa, Az,
<><>Eduardo Sainz is listed as a FieldCorps member on Az Corporation Commission documents.
<><>Fieldcorps has been paid more than $2.9M by Arizona Democrats alone so far this year,
<><>$$hundreds of thousands were paid out by “Mi Familia Vota,” whose ntl field director is Heredia
<><>”Mi Familia Vota,” is Dems’ much-used vehicle to tear down AZ voter protections via the courts
<><>About half of the counterfeits are connected to individual employees of Fieldcorps
<><>employees’ names were brazenly listed on fraudulent forms as “assisting” in their completion.
<><>of six non-Fieldcorps applications, two are mail-in ballots that were allegedly stolen
<><>a broader probe into Francisco Heredia’s Fieldcorps involvement is underway.

Francisco Heredia, CEO and partner of Field + Media Corps is the Democratic vice mayor of Mesa, Az, where its parent company is headquartered. Heredia released a statement reacting to the revelations cynically cloaking the alleged voter fraud under the guise of increasing latino votes.
“We are proud of our work to help expand access to voting through our nonpartisan voter registration program,” Heredia said. “We have not been contacted by election officials in PA counties and we have no additional information on the alleged problematic registration forms.”

“We would hope that if Field+Media Corps were the subject of any active investigation, that we would be proactively contacted by the appropriate officials,” he continued. “If we are contacted, we will work with local officials to help resolve any discrepancies to allow eligible people to vote.”
Heredia added that Field + Media Corps is “trying to connect” with Monroe County election officials.

Founded in 2017, Heredia’s profitable company, Field + Media Corps
specializes in strategic media and field work for clients, including
<><>voter registration campaigns, now under criminal investigation
<><>door-to-door canvassing,
<><>advancing ballot measures, phone banking,
<><>and texting voters which could involve electronic fraud.

Along with Arizona, Heredia’s profitable company, Field + Media Corps, additionally hires political canvassers in Pennsylvania, Nevada, and California, its online jobs page said.

Pennsylvanians are retarded.

Trump should ask DeSantis to be election Czar when his term is up and have him do for the rest of the states what he did for FL.

I’m guessing PA. Wished they hadn’t gone after Organic Amish Farmer Amos Miller.

In 2020 Biden “got” 81 million votes. Ms Kamunism only got 60 million. Where did those 20 million votes go?

“Trump should ask DeSantis to be election Czar”

We know that each state is responsible for it’s own election, and that’s cool.

But it seems that the Constitution should be amended to make stipulations on elections where there are Federal races. Not an EO; EOs are too easy to negate with a dueling EO. Actual change in Federal Law.

- Only citizens can vote.

- ID is mandatory.

- Same-day voting except active military via Absentee Ballot.

- Results by midnight.

If there aren’t any Federal races, then let the states do whatever they want to.

“ I bet no one gets investigated for the cheating.”

… I certainly hope that you’re wrong. There needs to be investigations and jail time so this isn’t continued for the next two years and four years.

One of my favorite lines about Pennsylvania is:
Pennsylvania would be a great place to live if it weren’t for all the “Pennsylvanians”.

Likely true about most states where the cities dominate political policies. Honestly,In the case of Pa. I don’t consider Philly or Harrisburg as being pa.

Their problems,like in the more ruralistic parts, are similar to other states,too. Poor budget allocation (corruption). Along with poor eduction.

Always phuking Dems. Can’t be transparent. Have absolutely no integrity. Can’t even comprehend Trump’s words without inserting their delusional perversions. I would be embarassed to be associated with them in any way whatsoever other than tangentially. To be expected, however, from those who would kill babies in the womb without a second thought and promote the same. A pox on civil society.

Amazing what happens when people pay attention. The RINO wing of the Republican Party is thoroughly discredited. Those votes disappeared because MAGA didn’t let a massive cheat happen again.
