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...
The GOP is demanding those machines be impounded and new ones used. If the counter is not as the DA says, there is no way they can get away with it.
Dead get to vote early and often. WHO were the votes for? I would not put it past them to have checked Bush just to create a problem and open it up for law suits!!!!
Probably allocated as the "undecided" poll respondents choice was, 90% for Kerry.
I want capital punishment for voter fraud.
The fraud begins..........I don't understand why the machines can't be set to zero at thebeginning of the voting.....it makes no sense...at least this is coming out early, should help the GW turn out...........
Vitamin C and Vodka.. sounds like a good recipe..but how and when will I know who wins? :(
Of course ;)
If the votes on the Machines were for Kerry, it sorta rules out the "Lifetime Vote" theory, doesn't it.
Theres something Big to this Story...you can just feel it...especially based on the Kerrys teams statement just released. I, like you dont buy the Life time vote counter..like our poll watchers dont know what to look for..give me a break..what a joke
It may be a long night .. we'll wake ya up later with all the hoot'n hollering when Bush wins :0)
Philly mayor on FOX now. Says no fraud. Says it would be "impossible" to tamper with the machines. Says this issue was brought by the Republicans to deliberately cause confusion. Says it was "false and malicious" deliberate action by the poll watchers to create controversy. What a weiner.
The clever new way to vote early and vote often. These new machines are fabulous for vote fraud! Should have used them years ago. Don't have to dig up dead bodies or round up the drunks. Easy, easy, easy. Why didn't they use them years ago? I've been telling everybody that these new machines are the best thing for vote fraud since the law that prohibited asking for id at the polls.
LOL!
Now the Mayor in PA is blaming the Pubbies for causing this problem, and then he turns around and says that the state will be going for Kerry anyway.
Why do they have that woman on Fox today? I really can't stand her, and she never asked him one defining question, just took his word for it all. I can't think of her name, because I always shut it off when she's on. In my opinion she's one of Fox's worst.
Mayor of Philly was on Fox and said it will be a victory for Kerry....
He will be wondering how he lost when he stacked the machines.
I just walked out on my front porch and watched all the leaves on my tree voting for Autumn. What an appropriate day for an election.
