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...
For the most part the new registrations are a cover for the numbers they produce later. They dont' care if the person ever shows up at the polls.
The "brilliant devil". lol!
I would think poll watchers would have received some basic voting machine information before going to watch the polls to know they have two counters-1 showing lifetime votes..and 2 showing how many votes cast that day.
I think we need to hear the RNC's response to this machine issue before we speculate much more about it. The RNC knows what they are doing. If it is an issue they will get to the bottom of it. If it isn't an issue they need to keep focused on things that are legitimate issues so we can win this thing!
I LOVE BARBARA! X 1000 FONT!

Was early voting allowed in Philly? If not, I sure hope all of those votes were erased before voting began this morning!
Early voting is NOT permitted in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania!
BTTT for the latest.
I can't wait.
Rick Santorum is talking about it with Laura Ingraham.
Another great question?
I think this in GREAT news, in the sense that, in years past, I have heard informally of this happening but not being reported.
The fact that this has come to light and is being PUBLICLY NOTED is a wonderful development. Rick Santorum was just on Laura Ingraham's show and said that this discovery was the fruit of having poll-watchers at every polling place.
We're not going to take it any more.
Then it should have been into the tens of thousands, rather than just a few hundred.

Thanks for the chuckle :-)
Our ballots this time were the good old fashioned
fill-in-the-ovals-with-a-pen. It was GREAT!!!
No chads, no electronic fuzzy math, just idiot-proof
hacker-resistant black and white.
Santorum said that the 527's are the group that has been trying to steal the election. They have been sent in to PA trying to do everything they could to change this election anyway they can! Probably all across the country too!
Bwaahaaahaaaaa
Are you implying he had a visit from the Clintonistas???
I appreciate your point, though that would never fly politically. Why not mandatory ten years in prison, though? That would really make some of these "activists" think twice.
