Stop Vote Fraud BUMP!
Stop Vote Fraud BUMP!
It's okay to use the taxpayers' money to buy votes, but it's criminal to use your own.
If they offer me money, I'll accept the cash, vote for Bush, and then turn them in.
My Grandad used to tell stories about the thirties and the days of paper ballots, when the first guy to vote would stuff a dummy vote in the box then smuggle out the real ballot, then head straight for the union hall and get his free whiskey, as stooge #2 took possession of the ballot (filled out for the Democratic nominee) and re-entered the polling place. This went on all day.
You accept the cash, you're in violation of the law, too
;^)
I highly recommend for any Conservative that works the polls this November to keep a sharp eye out for any thing that doesn't seem on the up and up.
And by God, they BETTER count the military absentee votes! This has been in my crawl since last election.
You may have to make the collar yourself -- or have a federal marshal do so. Most police departments will not enforce federal laws -- particularly when doing so is not in the best interest of the police union.
Starr county in south Texas emptied it's cemetary that day.
I witnessed the "Florida Effect" in California. I work at the polling place. The 5pm rush is always the biggest of the day. But not in Nov 2000.
The networks had called Gore the statistical winner, so untold thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands nationwide , felt their votes to be meaningless.
They drove home instead of to the polls.
The gullible reign!

But this brings up a ploy to catch them. Freepers in those cities where this is likely to happen can dress like street people and hang around near the polls and wait for the dem criminals to offer them money. Would help if they had an accomplice to take pictures or video of the money exchange. Case closed.
I hate the practice, because a million votes went uncounted in California while everybody was screaming about Florida.
IMHO, if all the military ballots had been counted, the Democrats couldn't keep going around saying "Gore won the popular vote by 400,000." One simply cannot make that claim when there are a couple million ballots across the country that were never counted, and would have leaned Bush heavily.
Memo-gate bump!
They why are absentee ballots sent to our military overseas? And how would they know until the ballots were counted that it wouldn't change the result?

We made a big stink in Florida when they refused to count the absentee ballots. Even the military was upset. But the Rats deemed that the ballots "weren't received in time," or they "weren't filled out correctly," yada yada yada. Anything they could find to trash them.
Welcome to Free Republic, btw. :)
I know, but it would be so fun to take their money and then vote for Bush anyway. Kind of like when Ollie North used the Iranian profits to fund the contras in Nicaragua.
