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...

Can you tell us more?
Not a shocker.
Hey we better not disenfranchize those um well...non voting voters there.
I am sure they were evenly split...
Dead can vote...
INCIDENT: 488 votes were on the machine at start of day
WARD/DIVISION: 37B/8
ADDRESS: 2601 N. 11th St., Philadelphia, Pa.
INCIDENT: 488 votes were on the machine at start of day
STATUS/TIME: (8:55 a.m. ET)
Not enough info to discuss or analyze .
Yet.
Somehow I doubt they were for Bush...
Did Philly purchase some used voting machines from Chicago?
The first of many. I'm betting most incidents will be at highly Democrat districts across the nation.
The dead voters. Typical Philadelphia.
There you go again, disenfranchising the spirits of our ancestors. They built this great country and you want to take away their vote.
Not surprising.....all one needs in Philadelphia to vote is a death certificate......
XXXX And Republicans are now accused voting machine intimidation. XXXX
I refuse to sit here silently while you post comments regarding the integrity of the Philadelphia election workers or those who direct them!>---sarcasm off
