How I rigged the Democrats' vote

“Transparancy is so important during elections and if Romney wins, there needs to be a serious conversation about the integrity of voting.”

Exactly. It’s almost like they want voting abolished. Do everything to frustrate voters to the point of giving up.

This is the single best arguement for the electorial college vs. popular vote. You might get a couple of disticts or state with vote fraud, but it takes a lot more effort to steal enough districts and state when using electorial college.

Even if it turns out that Romney wins the popular vote and Obama wins the electoral vote, I’m going to support the electoral college system.

When was there a Republican machine running Philadelphia? I’m 60 years old and with exception of Frank Rizzo who ran as both a Democrat & a Republican I can’t remember any Republican mayor of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia was run by one of the most corrupt Republian machines in America from the end of the Civil War until the election of 1951 when they were thrown out for good.

As far as I'm concerned this story is hardly newsworthy. It may have shocked the young lady working for Carter, but the truth is that those old lever voting machines (or at least I think they are extinct by now in most jurisdictions) were very much vulnerable to exactly the kind of fraud she described. I know of one Republican who ran for office in a big city using that type of machine and who knew for a fact that extra votes were put on at least one machine for his 'Rat opponent before the polls even opened: the exact same trick described here.

Big surprise! /s

Democrats are dirty cheats. That’s all you have to understand.

No wonder the UN sent in election observers...

Before your time. The last true Republican mayor was in the early ‘50’s.

Only way I know this stuff was stories from grandfather. He was a Republican, and the reason why my father was a Republican, and hence me. He would laugh at Democrats when they got caught doing crap and then tell stories of “how to do it right”. My father would always get pissed at him for telling me those stories and then I would get a lesson in proper behavior.

He was a real character. He was a bootlegger during prohibition, played in a band and spent a lot of time in Mexico. I think hiding from something. He wasn’t good at the bootlegging thing. Our family certainly didn’t accumulate any wealth like the Kennedy’s.

Don’t get caught up on the party. It is just big city politics. They all have the same genealogy and did the same things. It is part of the reason I loathe cities.
