Philadelphia Identified As No. 1 Election Fraud 'Hot Spot' In America, Says Legislative Fund

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 /U.S. Newswire/ -- In a report released today, the American Center for Voting Rights Legislative Fund ("ACVR Legislative Fund") identifies Philadelphia as the number one election fraud "hot spot" in America. The report, "Vote Fraud, Intimidation & Suppression In The 2004 Presidential Election," is the most comprehensive and authoritative review of the facts surrounding allegations of vote fraud, intimidation and suppression made during the 2004 presidential election. The report lists the top five election fraud "hot spots" in the country based on its findings and the cities' documented history of fraud and intimidation. ACVR Legislative Fund calls for immediate attention to these areas.

"Election after election, political parties, election officials and the news media act surprised when fraud, intimidation and suppression activities occur. Now everyone is on notice that there's a problem in Philadelphia and those who don't participate in a solution will be held accountable," said Brian Lunde, ACVR Legislative Fund board member.

ACVR Legislative Fund will work with national and state political parties, state legislators and local officials to create a process that supports local election officials in each of these "hot spot" cities and ensures that any effort to continue the historic pattern of fraud and intimidation in the 2006 election is exposed and stopped. Other "hot spots" identified in the report were Milwaukee, Seattle, St. Louis/East St. Louis and Cleveland.

What? Philadelphia, "Home of the Homeless", is the most electorally corrupt place in America? And this is what? Breaking news?

It is no secret to anyone who has lived or worked here, that despite the rich history, city is now only rich with corruption and violence.

Mayor Street seems like an excellent stand-in for New York's former failed Mayor David Dinkins, except without the warm personality and good tennis game.

If true election monitors were used, Philly would have a Republican mayor (believe it) and PA would be painted red.

That's why I think we should take the dems up on their offer from '04 to have UN election monitors. I think they'd go into a panic when their massive voter fraud became known.

On election day, the rats came out of Philly with a 500,000 vote margin. It was too much to overcome but we did cut frenchie's winning margin as compared to the wooden headed algore by half from 5% to 2.5%. No voter fraud in Philly =
frenchie loses, W wins. The first indication that this was coming was when we got word that a voting machine that was opened that morning BEFORE any voting had frenchie up
2000 votes. That was ONE MACHINE of hundreds.

Hey Bubble Head, but at least in King County they got caught. In Philly they laugh about it right in your face and their is always a contingent of union workers happy to go and intimidate "Non-party" voters. Which party? Why there really is only one in Philly.

The UN Election monitors would instantly become the MAIN vehicle for Democratic fraud.

In other news, Democraps have distinct lead among dead voters, the earth orbits the sun, and Michael Moore is a fat sack of crap. Thank you for tuning in to Obvious News.

No prob ;*)

I heard about the fraud in Philly on election day. It took them 9 months to come up with this?

BTW - there is an election taking place today in the 2nd Congressional district in southern Ohio to replace Rob Portman. Rush is reporting they are already talking voter fraud.

We need Republican monitors in every precinct. They would need a day's training on voting regulations and perhaps some training on handwriting recognition. They don't need to be experts at spotting forgeries, just obvious cases where signatures aren't even close.

This training could be delivered via WebEx, saving money. These representatives would verify the signature of each voter and ensure the totals reported match the number of people coming through the door.

Also recommended, several weeks of self-defense and assertiveness training. Each representative would also need a video camera to record intimidation attempts.

Yes it would be expensive but one or two fewer TV ads is a small price compared to blocking the obvious vote fraud that's in Philly at every election. Every fraudulent vote suppressed is as valuable as a sympathetic voter driven to the polls. If we can't do it everywhere, let's cover the most eggregious violators first.

I would volunteer and live about four hours from Philly.

I doubt it. I've worked with UN monitors before, and by and large, they're concerned with the system (whichever system it is) working as advertised. Certainly there are a few bad apples in the bunch, but it's the same with any group.

I proudly have a W bumper sticker on my car Luckily some Dem idiot only smashed a tail-light rather than render the car inoperable.

I'm bigger than most of the moonbats in this town (including the union goons), so they never say anything to my face. I have an argument with my moonbat union brother every day.

Yet, I love this ridiculous city!!!

The same people that brought us oil for food and spend their spare time bashing everything we do? The organization that's happiest when a dem is in office because he generally appoints representatives who are willing to bend over and take one for the country? I don't know, I'm inclined to think they'd pitch right in and help the dems win.

Sterm26,
Let me guess, your brother is in Electrician's Local 98.

I grew up in South Philly and lived there until 1996, live in Montco now.
