Lack of ballots at NM (heavily GOP) precinct

KOB radio | 11/7/06 | n/a

Just heard on the radio that a heavily republican precinct in NM district 1 (Wilson / Madrid race) had only 150 printed ballots this morining. As of 7 AM, there were over 200 people in line to vote. This is a mostly GOP-favorable precinct. The poll workers were actucally turning people away, telling them they'll call them (yeah, right) when new ballots are available. Heather Wilson was interviewed and she said it is criminal to have so few ballots (150 for over 2000 registered voters) for this polling location (this problem wasn't reported for Dem-leaning locations, of course). Lawyers for both sides are are on scene.

I think it will just make the Pubs more pissed off. Of course, nothing on the Journal blog about any of this as of now.

[Terabitten]

This is why there has to be a national voting system. Letting each locality decide on how they want it done is just crazy.

[longtermmemmory]

I do not believe they are allowed to turn people away!!!

That is illegal!

Where are the rest of the ballots?!!!

[Disambiguator]

That's where I used to live, and the districts are "all over the map" in Rio Rancho.

We never had any issues at polling places (I would vote at Independence High at Idalia and 528).

Plus, RR is pretty conservative overall. Look at the makeup of their school board.

[CedarDave]

Keep us informed -- can't/won't listen to Rush today, to much to do ( and shouldn't be Freeping either!!)

[Tijeras_Slim]

RR schools are pretty good, and not just in comparison with APS.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Do my best Dave.

[dforest]

well, if you are a Repulican in these areas, start bitchin and screaming or nobody will care. The asses(democrats) sure do.

Now reports of Dim supported taunting voters turned away at precinct 602 for being Repub whiners.

Those 'whiner's will be back to vote, you can count on that.

[MeanWestTexan]

"and all the new equipment was deep-sixed and they went back to paper ballots with optical screeners."

I actually agree with the Dims about something.

Broken clock and all that.

They should be able to track the number of ballots sent to each precinct. If the numbers don't match, meaning they sent more than the alleged 150 they have, then the pollsters should all be arrested for vote fraud.

[MikeA]

Amen.

[Tijeras_Slim]

The corrupt count clerks office sends out ballots based on an "estimated" turnout, so they figured that only 7% of the folks in the Republican precinct would vote. I guess they thought they were being generous.

[Cooter]

Maybe since 20% statewide had already voted early or absentee, they thought the voters were done.

Thank you for posting this. Needed to be posted but I was in the car could not get online until now. Thank you.

[OldFriend]

Time to call the Justice Dept.

[rintense]

That's BS. There should be a law everywhere that states it is mandatory to send a ballot for each registered voter. Nothing less.

[Arm_Bears]

Mandatory jail time for Election Supervisors who screw things up.

[RandallFlagg]

"Republicans should stop whining, this is what you did in Ohio"

The more cases of fraud, and the more of the illegal ballots that get ejected, the more whining the left will be doing by tonight.
Every one of these stories MUST be reported to the RNC, FoxNews, Rush, and the rest of the good guys. They have sources that can check them all out.

Make them whine in pain and grief. They must not succeed.

[Tijeras_Slim]

That's BS.

That's NM.
