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...

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...

So we will need a history of these machines. Have they been used in elections before. Is this the first time they are being used.
Yeah Right...We then must assume those machines must be relatively brand new..but its hard to beleive that there is such few votes casted in a lifetime on all those machines..especially being used in Philly.
Im sure the Da is Non Partisan too.

The Demonats FRAUD machine is in full swing. This is how communists deal with elections.
I noticed a glaring omission of the party the votes were affiliated with. That tells me that they must have been Dim votes, because if they were Republican, it would have been all over the news.
any guess who the votes were for?
mandatory jail time for vote fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kerry supposedly is making a statement about this soon (via Fox) and the excuses is already starting
Gee I would think a number representing total votes ever cast on a machine would be a whole lot higher than a few hundred. Unless the machine was brand new.
It has to be an orchestrated plan by the left

My wife moved to Colorado the first of October to be with me. She sent off for an absentee ballot for Pennsylvania on October 10th. She received the ballot yesterday. It was postmarked October 19. On the address, the city and state had been obliterated with black crayon, the zip code had been erased with white out in two spots, taped over in another, and finally written in. I called Senator Santorums office in Pittsburgh this morning about this. They called me back and told me that if she mails the ballot today, with today postmark, that it will be valid.
oh my gosh... did you take pics?
That's not fair. If I have to stand in line, they have to as well. I just hate that.
I was being Sarcastic about the Non-Partisan thing....
If I were betting Id say the Da is in Bed with the Dems
Our Poll Watchers arent going to sit around and watch the Election get stolen! Go W

Wouldn't all the machines have at least that number on them? Why did they just question a few machines?
I'm hearing from friends they are finding more at other precincts.....dont worry TOO MUCH!
I told my wife to copy the envelope and I will post it sometime tonight.
