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...

First guns, then SUVs, now voting machines...the list of inantimate objects taking on a lives of their own continues to grow.

They need to check the computer program to make sure it is not randomly adding dem votes.

I used to inspect mechanical machines in New York State. In New York, each major party is supposed to send a represenative to the polling place the night before and watch as the machines are opened, inspected, checked for "early" votes and then sealed.

Either someone was asleep at the switch or those machines were tampered with.

Anyone know the ending to that union punk story?

Lancaster,PA. have 10, so far, elderly couples who say they got phone calls telling them they were not eligible to vote

I'm from NJ, Frank Sinatra is our Patron Saint!

I just heard a Tom Brokaw clip on Laura Ingraham where he claimed Bruce Springsteen is his generation's Frank Sinatra.

I didn't know whether to wretch or throw the radio out the window.

It will be the same story, though...."The Republicans did it to make us look like crooks....they invented dirty campaigns....we're Democrats, we're victims."

[Holicheese]

A cheese steak was also found on the machine?
Coincedence? Don't think so!

[Walkingfeather]

Until people start getting arrested and sentenced like we do spys ( which do the same thing to undermine our democracy) this crap will continue to happen.

What is the over/under on the time that the first homeless person in Philly is given a pack of smokes or a bottle of dry gas to go and vote for Kerry?

[international american]

If you are not working today, you might want to help bandage up demorats, as I predict major bleeding within 10 hours.....then again, maybe you wouldn't;-)

[Bronco_Buster_FweetHyagh]

let me guess - Kerry votes?

[Quix]

Right.

I still think it would be very interesting to see what the breakdown on votes was.

I'd lay odds that it was at least 75% DIMRATs!

Or some such.

[Hermann the Cherusker]

Relax. We catch this stuff. This is in North Philly.

[b4its2late]

Dry gas to drink?

[Phantom Lord]

Philly voting bump
