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.

I can relate to that ... I'm in cooling off from mowing in 98 degree heat.
I hear there's some great Vietnamese places in South Philly now.
Gino's or Pat's?
Or Tony Luke's...
For cheesesteaks, it's Geno's & Tony Luke's.
To get the best pork sandwich, it's Tony Luke's hands down.
I'm disappointed but it's good to see my old hometown of Cleveland right up there.
But, you'll always have Bob Lemon!
We did it in South Florida for 2002. 600 volunteer poll watchers with cell phones to call lawyers at headquarters. Won the election, too.
Hasn't anyone even thought of using the RICO statute to go after these folks. If they can use it for anti-abortion organizations, how come it can't be invoked here. The clause concerning the seizing of assets could be humorous.
Oh well, not likely, the DoJ only goes after senior citizens like Martha Stewart and other easy targets.
I wonder how many times Ron Mexico voted?
The website has a good catalog of specific incidents and follow ups here:

As an organization, the UN does suck. I agree with you wholeheartedly there. However, the folks I worked with from the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, who monitored elections in Bosnia), were by and large really good people. Their concern was that the elections be free and fair, and they really didn't give a rip who won. That was completely secondary to the process.
Bingo! One of Johnny Doc's boys....except when he's laid off. Then it's Bush's fault!!
I'm a Tony Luke's man, myself.
Tony's is the best! I have eaten there many times when working in the Phila area. I would rate Tony's as NUMBER ONE!
Go accross the street to that new Tony Luke's Sports Bar and get the pork sandwich...outstanding!
It was easy to guess about your bro', 98 is the most political local of them all. I know those guys very well, I have several good friends high up in that food chain.
I guess it's kind of funny, but I think stealing a person's vote ought to be treated as seriously as robbery or at least burglary.
Nj next??? >>
Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if taught them how...
thanks for the ping.
I work part time at Citizen's Bank Park and I know Tony Jr pretty well (he runs the TL stand in the ballpark), he hooks me and my guys up with free pork sandwiches almost every game! Never too much of a good thing....
Local 98's been sponsoring "Doc for Mayor" nights at Phillies games recently. They got into a decent brawl with some visiting Mets fans a few months back.
This should make the DUmmies go ape-s**t.
Milwaukee only second.
Again.
Avis-Syndrome in effect.
