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...
Those machines 'should' have a mechanism to allow poll workers to CLEAR the machines at the start of voting.....that way, nobody could illegally cast votes BEFORE the polls opened. Unfortunately, should is almost as big a word as 'if'.
Let the games begin.
OMgosh! How blatantly illegal is this??? I'm convinced this country is going to break out into another civil war. Not between the north and the south, but this time, between the right and the left!!! AAAAAAughhhhh!
Do you ever wonder if Democrats regret making a fuss about Florida? They screamed bloody murder, claiming they were disenfranchised.
As a result, Republicans are far more aware of fraud and willing to combat it. If they had kept their mouths shut we might not be fighting Daschle late at night, we might not be catching the fradulent votes in Penn and doing something about it. My hunch is that the GOP is going to get stronger and stronger to make sure fraud doesn't occur, since Fraud always works against them.
Dems should have just kept their mouths shut. Now they are using some of their key base.
Even better! We need them all - even in this state. (CA).
I guess laws are something they don't have to follow?
The unethical, un American, thug neaderthal DUMB Dums are busy.
On Fox now.
Safe to assume they are all for Kerry.
I vote in northern New Jersey. I vote, but I've always assumed the final count was locked into the machine before the poll opened.
This has been on the net for almost 2 hours and FOX is reporting that DA office has not heard of it.
All the more reason to keep paper trails of all votes.
Headline must be "Kerry is cross in "La Crosse".
And here we go....... It is going to be an interesting day.
Well the Dummy DA said it was important for ALL votes to be counted. HUMMMMMM, makes you wonder if she really DOESN'T know about it.
Well, Lynne Abraham has Selective Hearing Syndrome.
You are very sweet. Can you tell how stressed I am? My husband's on active duty, and this is all so reminiscent of Bush/Clinton. It makes me sick. I'm glad the dems are being exposed, but their nastiness, their cheating ways and their persistence scare me. They will steal this election anywhere they can. Lord, Jesus, please protect our nation, and let Your will be done.
