The complaints, he said, came from Kashmere Gardens, Moody Park, Sunnyside and other predominantly minority neighborhoods.

Oh, that says it all right there.

And that's exactly where we need to have poll-watchers.

Let these slimebags know we aren't going to put up with their fraud anymore.

In Texas, you can only place a Republican Presiding Judge in a Republican majority precinct. Almost all of the fraud is in the dim precincts with no Republicans to catch them.

The Poll Watchers are there to back up the Republican Alternate Judge.

For example, there is fraud at the Sign In Desk when the dim Clerks let someone vote without a Voter Registration Card, vote in the wrong precinct, or without ID when voting for the first time.

At the same instant, someone has to watch the dim Clerks running the Judge’s Ballot Computer. There have been cases where the Clerk will print out 5, 10, or 20 Access Codes for the ESlate voting machine. When his buddy, the dim activist, comes through the line HE HANDS HIM EXTRA ACCESS CODES. By voting straight ticket, it is possible for the scam artist to vote many times without being caught. Imagine how easy it is to slip your buddy enough access codes to vote multiple times!

I agree, we need more Republican Presiding Judges and Alternate Judges, but after filling those slots, we MUST back them up with Poll Watchers. One person cannot observe the entire polling place.

Dirty Tricks! Nothing is beneath Democrats. In fact, they justify their lying, cheating, defrauding, etc. This is all bogus and done mainly to try to put it on par with the New Black Panther party intimidation in Florida. They lost ALL credibility when they brought up the NBP episode—it proves to me that this was all planned. Lying about little old ladies. What a bunch of low lifes.

Hey, don’t disparage TEXAS WOMEN! We can be tough, too! My grandmother was always a poll watcher whenever her down had elections (in coastal Mississippi). I grew up thinking that was cool.

"80% of the people at True the Vote training were men.

The toughest guys are going to the toughest parts of time. I spoke to an elderlly jarhead that they WILL NOT intimidate. Affable fellow, but huge.

BTW, don’t diss Texas women. I met a lot of them that El Franco Lee could not intimidate."

;^)

oh.. I know all about Texas women... I was raised by one (two if you count the neighbor lady who kept telling my mom about all the stupid things she saw me do).

No finer way to raise the hackles of a Texan that to question his manhood. Glad to see it still works, it means that there is still some fight left.

We all have, I think. This is our only chance. If they steal it, America and everything it ever stood for dies.

We won't go down alone.

I'll be taking a lot of progressives with me.

"Are you able to call for hands outside your area? I’d be willing to travel and I’m sure there’s more than just me."

My suggestion to anyone who would like to volunteer to poll watch outside of their area is this: Pick a key area or key race that you want to support. Then contact the county level GOP for that location and ask how you can get involved. Here in Pennsylvania, you must have credentials to be at the polls, so it has to be done in advance. If you think of it at the last minute, there are surely still places to help with phone banking or driving people to polls, etc. Another avenue is to contact the campaign offices of key candidates and ask them for local guidance.

Anyone who would be willing to go poll watch in Philadelphia would be doing us a great service, but I wouldn't suggest any little ladies go it alone. (That's speaking as a woman of small stature.)

Never noted a pattern.

However, I have noted that Freepers seem spring loaded to criticize others and sometimes resort to name-calling.

We really need to be more civil. After all, we are in this fight together.

This is critical, and far more potent than Alinsky

It works on the national level as well, just think Soros in place of Angle.

Take video cameras and tape “everything” for prosecution. Cameras should be in plain view so the perpetrators know they’re TOAST.

Retired law enforcement and retired military volunteers would be very helpful to ensure the RAT fraud is shut down by ensuring that there is documented evidence of the fraud with photos to ensure prosecution.

Obviously you’ve gotta problem controlling your mouth.

As far as the "dumb ass comment" goes... Maybe, Im stuck in liberal hell and it taints my view of things a bit. Makes me more cynical.

Yeah, Ive never been one to control my mouth. Blame my upbringing I guess, but most of the guys I knew growing up just north of Houston in spring Texas were just as loud mouth as me, and didnt put up with even half the crap that it seems folks put up with now.

However, instead of getting mad at me... Go punch a liberal in the mouth. Their ass kicking is well overdue.

IMHO, what the Dems are doing is NOT GOING to be tolerated any more. The voting fraud will just get those who want the Dems OUT and any RINOS out in full force to vote.
