As many of you know, I'm running for State Representative here in Philadelphia.  I've been out visiting the polling sites in my district this morning and here's what I've seen in just the 2 1/2 hours I've been out:

 

29th and Morris- Two union thugs were handing out Kerry stickers to people entering the polling area (of course, it's illegal to actually wear or present that in the polling area).  I watched for about five minutes until a woman came by and turned them down.  Immediately they started screaming "We've got a Bush supporter here!' and blocking her way.  The woman turned and left.  I entered and spoke to the judge of elections.  He said he'd spoken to the police but didn't know when something would be done.

 

18th and Morris- Two young hippies were standing within 100' of the polling place asking names and displaying Kerry signs/buttons/etc.

 

16th and Shunk- Two Vietnamese American poll watchers left the polling place after being threatened by the Democratic poll watchers.

 

15th and Reed- One Vietnamese American poll watcher left the polling place after being threatened by the judge of elections.

 

12th and Moore- Union thugs standing next to the sign in and voting machines.

 

42nd and Baltimore- Met a man who was unable to vote because someone else had already voted in his name.

 

20th and Chestnut- 2 hippies were standing outside the polling area asking people's names.

 

6th and Pine- 3 aged hippies standing less that 100' from the voting machine, displaying Kerry paraphernalia and asking people's names.

 

6th and Lombard- 2 young hippies standing less than 100' from voting machine, displaying Kerry paraphernalia and asking people's names.

 

12th and Webster- 1 aged hippie asking people's names.

 

I've called the D.A.'s office, Lynn Abraham (D) and was told that none of that constituted voter intimidation.

 

Sorry PA and America, I've done all I could but I'm a little short handed.

Give those identified as Moveon.org types fake names, that's all.

"Yes, I'm Jack. Jack Meoff, and I voted for Kerry."

[Temple Owl]

Trib's at work right now, but I will alert him. I am sure he will be happy to lend his support.

29th and Morris

Sounds like some of our more "influential" PA FReepers need to pay those union boys a "visit."

[philsfan24]

they were asking peoples names at 20th and chesnut? i work a few blocks away. im heading down there now to find out whats going on. i wish i had a camera besides my phone.

[BureaucratusMaximus]

If this kind of thing is going on in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, Detriot, Minneapolis and Milwaukee...then we're in some deep trouble. You know the dem thugs are all out in full force in ALL those places.

[international american]

Sorry NOTHING we need to know this stuff. Thank you!!

[HarryCaul]

Pictures, video. Get these people on film, then follow up afterwards, DO NOT LET THEM GET AWAY.

[hobbes1]

The RNC and the DoJ might take a different view.

[ken5050]

Thanks for the info, and the effort on your part..BTW..how're your "internals?"..(I always wanted to be able to ask someone that question...)

[Kadanne]

You need to go back and take pictures and take them to the election board and call the RNC. Then call Fox's local station. They'll show up with a reporter just like in Philly.

I'm headed back out with a digital camera, I don't own a video camera, but the photos should do the trick.

 

The hippies say that they're just checking off names so they won't come by and knock on your door later, and maybe that's true, but if you can't ask for photo ID to vote, what right do they have to accost people.  That's my take.

 

Word on the Street is that they did knock off the 2,000 votes, but what's the liklihood that they found/reported/removed them all, right?

 

I'm headed back out.

 

Thanks for all your suggestions!

[plain talk]

Exactly. Need video evidence or no one will believe it happened.

[Dems_R_Losers]

Owl_Eagle, PLEASE call 1-866-MYVOTE1 immediately and report what you saw! This number is supposed to connect people having or witnessing voting problems immediately with the local board of elections. NBC News is also monitoring these calls and has analysts in the studio in Phliadelphia to discuss the calls they receive. I am emailing this to a friend of mine who is one of the GOP analysts that is in the NBC studio in Philly today. Hopefully she will report it and discuss it.

[End Times Sentinel]

BULL! ... Lynn was on the radio yesterday and claimed that none of this would be tolerated and her office would looks into these type of actions

Did you notice how she only talked about intimidation, NOTHING about voter fraud?  Real servent of the people there, huh?

Geeze, you have to take your video camera in one hand, and a Lousiville slugger in the other, when you go to vote anymore.

[Grampa Dave]

Post your pictures on Free Republic and ping Drudge and explain who you are and where the pictures came from.

Then send them to the RNC and the local Republican organization.

Sean Hannity would probably cover this if you ping him.

Good luck with your pictures and stay safe.

I will be out with my old 35 mm and its fairly good tele photo lens around a select polling places.

[Antoninus]

Lynn Abraham is worse than useless. She basically gave the Fraud Machine the green light on Dom Giordano's show last night. Go around her. Report these activities to the local media--especially to the hosts on 1210 AM. Email Matt Drudge as well.

Someone posted this on another thread:

The Republican National Committee has formed a hotline [1-866-NOT-TRUE] and Web site [democratatacks.com] to report supposed Democratic attacks and dirty tricks.

I think it should be on every election related thread.

[Grampa Dave]

One more thing.

Call up the federal attorney general office in Philly with your complaint and tell them that you will be documenting it with pictures.
