A retired Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice says that she is "not confident we can get a fair election" in the state come November.
Justice Sandra Newman, accompanied by Dauphin County District Attorney Edward Marsico and Pennsylvania Republican State Chairman Robert Gleason, expressed her concerns at a Harrisburg press conference this morning. A thick document replete with photo copies of phony registrations and aerial shots of vacant lots used as "addresses" for "voters" was handed out to journalists.
Gleason was even more explicit.
"Between March 23rd and October 1st, various groups, including ACORN, submitted over 252,595 registrations to the Philadelphia County Election Board" with 57, 435 rejected for faulty information. "Most of these registrations were submitted by ACORN, and rejected due to fake social security numbers, incorrect dates of birth, clearly fraudulent signatures, addresses that do not exist, and duplicate registrations. In one case, a man was registered to vote more than 15 times since the Primary election."
"Voter fraud is no longer just a Philadelphia problem," Gleason said, with ACORN targeting key counties across the state.

Maybe we need a lawyer tax.
John Ashcroft gave up his Senate seat to a dead man. He doesn't have any credibility on this subject.
Yes, thank you. I just had no idea that people could go to the polls and vote without proving who they are. That makes no sense to me. One person said they will be working at the polls and be watching, but what can they watch for? Someone comes in, says I am so and so and gives an address, she has no way of checking to see if that address is legit or determining if that person is who they say they are. Seems to me once the voting starts its all over.
When he was AG he should have done something about the voter fraud. But I’m sure his “compassionate conservative” boss told him to play nice.
I'd feel more convinced of this if my very own 30-something well-paid union-member son hadn't told me he was voting for Obama because Obama was going to "give him things." I couldn't believe it.
I pointed out that election promises are worth exactly the paper they are written on, and in addition, if Obama really does "give him something," it can only be because the government took it away from him first.
There are a lot of people in my son's age group who went through public school, were indoctrinated, and are now flocking to the messiah because he's going to "give them something." Mind you, they're not badly off right now. But they have been so brainwashed that they live with a sullen lumpenproletariat resentment, even though they are actually average well-paid, protected American workers.
My big regret is that I didn't homeschool.
Exactly.
This election is going to end up before the Supreme Court again.
Not when it is stolen:(
Apparently, dumbbunny McCain has just endorsed Obama.
I am done with him.
Too late for that....We have been threatened and intimidated since we switched to President’s Day for political correctnes.
shut down acorn= mass riots in the streets.
we have agreed not to “upset” anyone long ago.
Well I have the same problem in a sense.Both drank too much Kool Aid in College, and went through without taking a single History Course.
Well , let them live with tyranny for a while then.But the fact is that we woke up a little late on WWII. We had the same things happening in Europe that happen here now.And we had tremendous liberal inertia to overcome then.The US public had to see a few pictures of what the fascists in Europe were doing. It will happen here if Nazobumster gets elected. Then things will change. This election is our last chance to avoid the suffering America is about to experience.And the youth will have to live under it to wake up. Wake up they will though, even if a little late.
Now the latest generation , those who attended high school 2000 on, are not like the indoctrinated ones of previous years. They do not accept the standard indoctrination in school. So its a complex situation.
I wish my son, now 28, had served with the military.
The problem is that ACORN PAYS unemployed people to register voters. This is the problem, right there. These people -- many of whom are the worst possible characters -- cheat - they make up names and addresses and collect a paycheck. Funded by us the taxpayer, yes! This practice needs to STOP
But, remember, they are ALSO committing fraud against ACORN; that's who is paying them for "real" registrations. Many of the investigations against these registrations have been initiated by ACORN itself.
But to say the election will be lost because of ACORN stretches the point. Fraudulent registrations are caught at many checkpoints - ACORN's lame quality assurance catches some and the registar catches most of them. Even if a registration passes all these checkpoints, someone still needs to show up and vote.
This does not explain the margin between McCain and Obama.
I think McCain didn’t bring it up earlier because it actually would have looked unfair and desperate at that time, and in addition, the full scope wasn’t known. Granted, all Freepers knew what was going on, but there’s a gap between that and legal proof.
The delegitimization is being done by Obama. This is all setting the stage for neutralizing his loss. Odinga, coached by Obama and Ayers, did exactly the same thing in Kenya and ended up as “co-president” with the candidate who actually won the election. All this after a number of riots and horrendous slaughters of his opponent’s party members, of course.
Nixon’s election was almost 50 years ago, and the Dems have changed a lot since then. You’re quite naive if you think this is the same old Dem party of yore.

Here’s the transcript of Mayor Street and Chris Matthews discussing the ‘turn out the vote’ campaign in 2004.
“We will distribute—we have distributed to our party workers probably between—between $750,000 and $1 million, and that will probably be doubled or tripled by the other efforts that are going on.”
He did not endorse Obama, he was simply trying to keep people from saying stupid things. There was a lady in the audience that told him that she was afraid of Obama because he was “an Arab”. All that stuff is going to do is give Obama ammunition.
My son did serve in the military, and was going to make a career of it until the Clinton-imposed changes began to affect him. He couldn’t take the PC and left and went to work in private industry.
But now he seems to have forgotten all his earlier experiences. Granted, he lives in California and has been the member of one of the most powerful unions for 12 years now. He’s subject to Dem indoctrination morning, noon and night. But even so it depresses me that he would be such a fool that he is being bought out because he thinks Obama is going to “give him things.” Where did I go wrong???
Oh...I don’t know. The Democratic party of yore — with its big city machines, block labor union vote, block black vote and the solid South — was pretty corrupt. And much more formindable than the rump party we see today.
“Life is a corrupting process from the time a child learns to play his mother off against his father in the politics of when to go to bed; he who fears corruption fears life.”
-Saul Alinsky
McCain has not “endorsed” Obama. What are you talking about?
