UPDATE: VOTES 'FOUND ON MACHINES' IN PHILLY BEFORE POLLS OPEN
Before voting even began in Philadelphia -- Republican poll watchers believed they found nearly 2000 votes already planted on machines scattered in heavy-minority locations throughout the city.
Republican poll watchers claim:
One incident occurred at the SALVATION ARMY, 2601 N. 11th St., Philadelphia, Pa: Ward 37, division 8.
Pollwatchers uncovered 4 machines with planted votes; one with over 200 and one with nearly 500...
A second location, 1901 W. Girard Ave., Berean Institute, Philadelphia, Pa, had 300+ votes already on 2 machines at start of day.
ANOTHER INCIDENT: 292 votes on machine at start of day; WARD/DIVISION: 7/7: ADDRESS: 122 W. Erie Ave., Roberto Clemente School, Philadelphia, Pa..
ANOTHER: 456 votes on machine at start of day; WARD/DIVISION: 12/3; ADDRESS: 5657 Chew Ave., storefront, Philadelphia, Pa...
MORE...
The Kerry Campaign says reports of votes already on machines are 'false.'
"Serious news will not appear first on the DRUDGE gossip website," senior Kerry adviser Joe Lockhart told reporters.
Officially, election officials explain the discrepancy is being caused by a number showing how many times various machines have been used.
But officials could not explain why used machines in other locations were reportedly 'clean.'
Elsewhere, a gun was purposely made visible to scare poll watchers at Ward 30, division 11, at 905 S. 20th St., Grand Court. Police were called and quickly surrounded the location...
Developing...
These are two of the early Philadelphia voters.
Figures, the rats have to cheat. I don't think W. will need PA. anyway.
not really ... because the turnout will end up at about 95% ... and about 15-20% or more the rolls that are dead, moved, or addresses that don't exist.
Our poll watchers were told to check this first.
The good news is we caught this and is evident of our ground team in play. We have eyes watching for these things and that is a good sign we have people in place!
I would think that the law would require that the number begins at zero at the start of the day of voting.
Is this evidence of that un-even starting line Jesse Jackson is always talking about?
Farrakhan issued a statement saying it was a plot by the Masons and it was really 555 votes.
Isn't Tom about 65?
hmmmm
Not his generation...just his party
In an Abu Ghraibe style prison. Lead around on a dog leash with panties on their head
Death penalty for the already dead?
Could it be possible that they brought out the machines and they weren't "Cleared" yet from the last election they were used in? With all of these poll watchers just itching for chance to yell fraud, its going to be easy to find instances where things look suspicious, but may not actually be fraud. I'll wait for the rest of the story to see if its actually fraud or not.
Well, the dead are only "represented" by their vote.
Those vote probably compliment of Fast Eddie Rendell? The creep.
Yes. For a minute there I forgot who the enemy is. What was I thinking?
Not likely, since loading the new ballots likely requires a reset as it is.
Hey, no problem,
They just had to wheel the machines through the graveyards to get to the polling station!
Clarifying: your theory would be correct if quite a few of the pre-votes turn out to be for Gore :)
The fact that an idividual is able to vote without an ID check pretty much proves that the process has already been hijacked.
I do not believe that we can trust the results of an election which allows such practices.
This is serious and should be treated as such. Someone should spend several years in prison for this.
