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...
I just heard this on my local radio station. The host was talking to the DA, and she said the same thing.
I like you, said, how old are these machines? That's all the votes on them?
She also said she had no complaints of people being bused in from NY, and just one complaint of prisoner voting.
This is going to be hell!!!
Hi Mo...
President Bush just arrived in Ohio to thank supporters per Fox News.
He's fixing his hair..
Hey there Grannie .. how's it going
City to get high-tech voting machines
You're right, my bad.
That's a *rhetorical* question, right? :)
God Bless and protect your husband, and you :)
I think the penalty should fit the crime. To steal someone's vote is to destroy the electoral process. To destroy the electoral process is to steal a person's share of stock in America. A share purchased in blood by our benefactors and founders.
To steal someone's vote is to destroy the controlling link between we the people and government.
To destroy someone's vote is to put them in 'involuntary servitude' and violates the 13th Amendment.
I can think of a better punishment than 'three hots and a cot' for a few days. More like 20 years at hard labor in a federal pen. No tv, nothing.
Thanks for the report. VERY happy to hear it. I'm hoping the the rest of PA doesn't like Philly voting for the entire state, so will take "every vote counts" seriously. :)
I caught your cold.. lol. I can't believe I have this with all my packing and election night too.. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
Numbers on ONE machine - ENTIRE history? LOL.
So, the entire history of this ONE machines is under a 1000? (considering so far, all the stories are totaling 1000+)... In Philly? Funny stuff.
What was the outcome?
Christie Brinkley watches Bill Maher. That is exactly what he said last week, that if a Dem was in office on 9/11, Repubs would be screaming that, so why aren't the Dems saying it? Wes ley Clarke appeared on shows immediately after saying EXACTLY THE SAME THING. Dem talking points - written in part by Bill Maher.
I am from Southeast Arkansas and I voted early this Morning. I cant ever remember seeing such a high turnout that early in The Morning. A huge turnout for Republican precincts..this is Good News..Also Heavy Republican Turnouts according to my Brother in West Little Rock this Morning.. Go W!
If you've already voted ... then I suggest to just drink .. it will kill the germs from your cold :0)
