Slowly but surely we're gaining in NYC, which is 90 percent 'Rat. Great to see Ms. Colon's article in the otherwise liberal "Sun"

Don't change the headline from what it was at the source, or post articles like this in Activism/Chapters topic.

Is Ms. Colon writing this piece 'tongue-in-cheek'??? If not, why don't I hear sirens wailing to arrest those ballot "workers"? Making a person wait until Democrats have voted, to change the machine???!!! Yeah, riiiggghhhttt. This is almost as criminal as Dan Rather's attempt to manipulate an American Presidential election.

Good deal. The more it is seen as ok to be a Republican, the faster this sea change will occur. Beat the lefties with humor, charm, and superior ideas. Kinda like Rush does.

The most important thing I took away from the article was how it was BLACK GOP'ers wanting to change. Especially the Black entrepenure who wanted to bankroll GOP candidates. In NY! THATS a story worth telling. Seems they are finally starting to see that the plantation still exists...its called Democratic ideas that keep blacks right where they want them...as perpetual victims and never getting out.

In Staten Island we just don't have Republican primaries. I've seen maybe three or four in 20 years. When I went to vote they asked me if I was a rat. I laughed at the question and waited until the worker got my meaning without saying anything else. Laughing at Democrats I meaning pointing at them and laughing out loud is something we in my family have been doing for a few years. Try it. It's lots of fun to watch them squirm. They're not used to being challenged. Many are speechless.

"You're a Republican? Go sit in the corner awhile." Some animals are more equal than others.

I entered the booth and soon discovered I could not push down the lever for my candidate.

This could be a case of voter fraud. A while ago in New York during another election, a bunch of poll workers were caught throwing out ballots in the trash. The ballots were recovered and it was discovered that all those ballots were votes for Republicans. None for Democrats. How did the crooked poll workers know which ballots (sealed in envelopes by easch individual voter) were votes for Republicans? Simple. They tampered with the voting machine and disabled the Republican lever. Thereafter, whenever a Republican came to vote. He would try the lever on the machine, find that it wouldnt work. Go to the poll worker who would give him a paper ballot to vote on instead.

When I asked for assistance, the poll worker checked the lever and said with a shocked tone: "You're a Republican?"

The Republican party is starving for Republican poll workers. I worked for quite a few elections in a row as a poll worker when I still lived in New York (Brooklyn). I was the only Republican amongst my group. Everyone else was a Democrat. Some polls went without Republican poll watchers, giving many crooked Democrat poll workers chances to commit fraud.

Slowly but surely we're gaining in NYC, which is 90 percent 'Rat.

We're losing. People are fleeing the state by the thousands due to the liberal policies, taking their votes with them. Many of them are Republican. Dems too, but since the state is 90 percent Dem, they can afford to lose thousands of voters to other states. The local Republican party on the other hand, cannot afford to lose one vote, much less thousands.

the otherwise liberal "Sun"

Uhmm..... no. The current Sun has an editorial by Emmett Tyrell Jr. Ring any bells?

Unfortunately, they said, I would have to fill out a paper ballot or wait for a Democrat to come in and use the booth, as it was already primed for Democrat voters.

I suspect that such contrary treatment was a violation of the Voting Rights Act.

Incidentally, the Voting Rights Act was written by a Republican. Go figure.
