@megynkelly @foxnewspolitics My Aunt Joanne tried to vote for Romney in Pittsburgh, someone had already voted using her name for BO #fraud 6 Nov 12
Evidently, Aunt Joanne isnt alone. Other Twitter users report a similar issue. They show up to vote and are told they have voted already.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitchy.com ...
I worked a precinct in Dallas County for the primary:
This is normal...The precinct judge is supposed to stamp the names in the book who are on the list as having voted early before election day. If this is not done until after the polls open on election day, there is the chance that someone could vote twice.
Maybe writing their names on the line is in lieu of the stamp (which is definitely quicker!).
You wouldn't and that's not the issue here. The subject is the people who showed up to vote only to find out someone had already used their name to vote.......
That’s crazy. Where I live, the voter rolls used at the polls on Election Day are printed after early voting ends. Absentee and early voters are clearly marked - in fact the signature lines are completely covered with boldface capital letters saying “Voted - Early” or “Voted - Absentee.”
Nobody gets to forge anyone’s signature!
This all comes down to having a 3rd world banana republic voting system where cheating is as easy as Apple pie. And in most cases there is no way to go back and figure out who cheated.
Yes, but - They can look at the sign in list to see if you voted. We always have to put our signature on a list. Someone must have pretended to be the Aunt.
Q. *If* someone already voted in your name, how would you know who they voted for?
A. You wouldn't.
I didnt think of that..if you know the poll worker and there are people’s names on the list that are either dead or elderly and they might not vote they can just pretend to be them and vote repeatedly..I hope the GOP is aware of this and has people canvassing the polling places to keep a lookout on this BS..Dems only know how to cheat, its how they win elections
Sounds like the makings of another 125% turnout in Philly.
...which puts the entire claim in question.
The 144 character “tweet” format is creating some confusion. The point is not that anyone could determine HOW someone had voted, but that an individual appeared in person at a polling station and was told that a ballot had already been cast in that person’s name.
In other words, one possible way this happened is that someone sent in a fraudulent absentee voter application in, say, Fred Smith’s name, voted it, and mailed it. Then, when the real Fred Smith turns up at his precinct and tries to vote, the poll workers see that Fred Smith has already returned an absentee ballot.
If GOP wins Senate and Presidency, first order of business should be to address all the voter fraud.
As it is, just need to have EVERYONE make their vote count since many votes are being cancelled out with fraud :(
That’s the thing that I don’t get. There’s NO way of telling how someone voted. I cast my ballot this morning and there is zero connection between my name and that piece of paper.
I waited in line briefly to cast my vote in Cuyahoga County Ohio, (Cleveland area), but had left my billfold. I had to go get my billfold in order to SHOW MY DRIVER’S LICENSE in order to vote!
Suffice it to say, I was happy to do it. Oh, and no electronic voting machines, I had to take a pen and darken in the circles like the old ITED test we all took in school.
So simple.
BS.
The issue is that if I were not allowed to vote because someone else had used my name, I would insist on voting, show my ID to prove who I am, and request that any other votes in my name should be declared void.
If there isn't such a process in place, there certainly should be!
If I only have one place of residence, it's a no-brainer.
well, when a very tightly drawn photo I.D. is unnecessary to vote, all you need is the names on the voter rolls, poll takers who don’t really check signatures when you sign the roll sheet, and you can go vote as madamX, and madamY, and madamZ, and madams Aa through W as well.
Well, it’s a near surety that if a fraudulent vote was cast, it was cast for 0bama.
Same thing here in FL. If you don’t have ID, they give you a provisional ballot. Secret with those, though, is that they’re only counted if the vote is contested, and even then, they have to validate the name and address as not having voted already.
They got rid of our touchscreen machines a few election cycles ago. We’re back to bubble-in and scan.
Is that what “BO #fraud” meant? Then I misunderstood that twitter talk......
They’re getting brazen. It used to be they would use dead people’s votes only.
