This morning he said the absentee votes were up to 70% as opposed to 2000. Did not say they needed to do better, almost giving the impression that he does NOT care if they make it ... he was just so NEGATIVE.
This same kind of pressure needs to be brought in every state with a problem like this! Fast Eddy just got his a$$ handed to him.
How does he know that? Has he already counted the military votes????
Fat, bloated, liberal-demokkkRAT-socialist-commie-nazi-fascist Eddie "I Hate America" Rendell, got his lardass handed to him by the GOPers - who grew spines on Thursday — here in PA. He'll still be quietly doing what he can to subvert any and all pro-Bush votes by 8pm, Tuesday. Count on it.
Rendell's a putz. I heard he could have extended the deadline by just issuing an order on it. Obviously he couldn't bring himself to do that. That would have been the manly and right thing to do, and we know "Fast Eddie" isn't about to do anything manly or right.
Rendell needs to go and go fast. You know, all this will make for terrific on air ad's next cycle. All things come full cirle.

I was with Weldon the other day when he delivered the documents to Fast Eddy's office... I kinda invited myself up there just so I could see the look on Fast Eddy's face.. too bad the SOB was out with Kerry that day.

Nope - he's counting on the prison votes. There's already evidence of massive absentee ballot fraud at prisons - dimrat supporters walking out of the PA prisons with boxes of signed absentee ballots. Gosh, can we all guess who those votes are for ?
Sure wish I lived closer so I could get in on some of these activities. It figures the fat pig was out of his office sniffing Kerry's behind. I hope he goes by the wayside when he runs for reelection.
Hey get yer butt down here! I think I am gonna show up in DC tomorrow if the SwiftVet thing comes together!
absentee voter **ping**
Have to tell you, I cannot express my anger to the PA governor. The idea that first he would not extend the deadline, then extends it to stamp date of Tuesday, while kind, was not at what he wanted to do.
He then says the numbers increased from the last election. He continues without saying we CAN DO MORE.
NOPE he just reemphasized that the 200 or so votes wont make a difference. The interviewer said what if it is more and he just LAUGHED and said he doubted it.
Oh I was ready to yell, but, why waste the oxygen.
I hope when the military returns, they stand proudly against this weasel. I see the ad's now and Rendell should be running scared.
Thank you Curt Weldon. He was the most vocal opponent making this happen. Also saw him on local news (Philly area) lambasting the Holmsburg prison warden regarding the absentee ballots being submitted for prisoners...which Rendell had a HUGE part in facilitating. There were college students carrying away ballots from prisoners and he got his hands on one..in front of the camera, showing the illegal activity of have students hand carry these ballots of the prison grounds. They're supposed to do some screeing to make sure the prisoner is not in for a felony, evidently, things are loosey-goosey in the Pa. prison system.

Online Write-In Absentee Ballot Offered for Overseas Voters
By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2004 — Deployed or stationed overseas and still
waiting for your state absentee ballot to arrive in the mail? There's
no need to sweat it out any more.
The online federal write-in absentee ballot gives U.S. citizens
overseas who haven't yet received the absentee ballots they applied
for the chance to vote in the upcoming elections, according to Polly
Brunelli, director of the Federal Voting Assistance Program.
The Federal Voting Assistance Program announced the online ballot
procedures Oct. 21.
Brunelli said the federal write-in absentee ballot has been used for
the past decade. Demand is particularly high this year, she said,
thanks for education efforts by the Federal Voting Assistance
Program.
The program staff has pre-positioned the ballot forms at many
overseas sites "so it would be readily available" to those who need
it, Brunelli said. Forms also can be downloaded from the Federal
Voting Assistance Program's Web site.
Brunelli emphasized that not everyone overseas can use the ballot. To
do so, she said, they must meet three very specific conditions:
* be outside the United States, including APO/FPO addresses;
* have applied for a regular ballot early enough so that the request
was received by the appropriate local election official at least 30
days before the election; and
* not have received the regular absentee ballot they requested from
their state.
The federal write-in absentee ballot is used to vote for candidates
for federal offices, including the president and vice president, U.S.
senators and representatives, and delegates or resident commissioners
to the Congress, in general elections.
Some states now allow servicemembers and other U.S. citizens overseas
to use the ballot in elections other than general elections or for
offices other than federal offices. Chapter 3 of the 2004-05 Voting
Assistance Guide details specific state or territorial requirements.
When using the federal write-in absentee ballot, voters may
electronically fill in the form before it is printed or print it and
manually fill in the form. In either case, officials said, the voter
must manually sign and date the ballot. Specific instructions for
submitting the ballot are outlined on the Federal Voting Assistance
Program Web site.
Forms can be mailed at no cost to the voter from APO and FPO
addresses, as well as other addresses within the U.S. postal system,
using postage-paid indicia printed onto the mailing envelope from the
Federal Voting Assistance Program Web site.
Voters who receive their state ballot after submitting either version
of the federal write-in absentee ballot should vote and submit their
state ballot any time up to and including Election Day, Nov. 2,
officials said. Officials advise them to note on the state ballot
envelope that they also submitted a federal write-in absentee ballot.
For more information, contact the DoD Voting Information Center,
which can be reached toll-free from 64 countries using the numbers
listed on the Federal Voting Assistance Program site. The Voting
Information Center provides recorded messages from candidates, as
well as other information concerning elections, 24 hours a day.
Servicemembers can also get help from unit voting assistance
officers.
I saw it too, and they said that the prisoners put their home address on the ballot not the prison, so they probably won't get caught.
Funniest thing I've heard all morning. Rendell despises Hannity. If Hannity were laying in the road, and no one was watching, Rendell would order someone to run him over. He's the worst kind of criminal there is: a "public servant" in the 60s Richard Daley mold.
When the lib-dem garbage finishes "sorting" them, they'll all be Kerry votes.
