How Hostile Poll-Watchers Could Hand Pennsylvania to Trump (Barf alert)
The Politico ^ | October 2, 2016 | Erick Trickey

In 2004, hundreds of University of Pittsburgh students waited for hours to vote in the presidential election. The local Democratic Party, alarmed at the bottleneck, handed out pizza and water to encourage the students to stay. Pittsburgh Steelers Hall-of-Famer Franco Harris worked the line, armed with a giant bag of Dunkin Donuts, and Liz Berlin of the Pittsburgh band Rusted Root performed on guitar.

The stalled line wasn’t because of the high turnout. It was what was happening at the check-in desk....

How Hostile Poll-Watchers Could Hand Pennsylvania to Trump

Is Trump striking a deal with the Black Panthers in Philly?

The media and their political arm, the dems, are desperate to make it all about the comfort of the individual, as opposed to the conservative wanting it to be about the responsibilities and rights of the individual.

Individuals have a responsibility to vote only where they are allowed, and only once. they have the right to have that vote count the same as any other individual’s vote.

Hey nitwits at Politico. In PA you must be a resident of the county to become a poll watcher and each party gets their own watchers. I tried to volunteer as a poll watcher in Philly but I was not a registered voter in Philadelphia.

Poor babies. If they all had to show ID in all 50 states, we might be able to have more honest elections again. They are really needed when they are signing up to vote, so we can cull out those non-citizens like the Washington Mall murdering jihadist.

Poor use of language doesn’t help the discussion.
Voting is a Privilege, not a responsibility. There is no right to have the vote counted. It is equal protection of the law under the 14th. The 14th is not about rights.

This is inversion.

The criminals are accusing the victim of trying to perpetrate their crime.

The intent is to try to break down enforcement and let their fraud voters get a pass.

Please reread my response.

Individuals have a responsibility to vote only where they are allowed, and only once. they have the right to have that vote count the same as any other individual’s vote.

The responsibility is to vote only once, and only where they are legally allowed to. If they are allowed to vote, then they have the right to have that vote count as a whole vote - a single vote.

Voting is a privilege accorded of United States citizens, who otherwise have not disqualified themselves. Exercising that privilege comes with responsibilities.

I hate being a poll watcher, I’m not assertive enough but to justify my lack of volunteering, we only have 3 polling places in our county and a good mix of people who work the polls and work them right and very few watchers ae needed. We used to have 13 polling places.

One polling place is the community college and it is covered up with cameras and the other is our parish hall and we have cameras all over the place and I have access to that video.

Trump has said “go around and look, and watch”, specifically at all of his PA events.

That said, I think you’re right and the Hillary camp is worried about losing PA.

Wow, the Democrat cheaters are squealing like stuck pigs. They usually accuse Republicans of the things the Democrat Party has been doing for decades. They will need to post more New Black Panthers at the polls in Philly to harass voters they view as anti-Hillary. They know they won’t face any prosecution because Obama’s Injustice Dept. sees nothing wrong with this voter suppression.

Quite frankly, anyone challenging me, be they left or right, is going to her invited to continue the discussion in the parking lot.

Exactly. The whole purpose of stories like this is to make voter fraud easier. That’s also the entire purpose of doing away with voter ID laws and screaming that proving who you are before voting is “racist” and “oppressive.”
