UPDATE: VOTES 'FOUND ON MACHINES' IN PHILLY BEFORE POLLS OPEN
Before voting even began in Philadelphia -- Republican poll watchers believed they found nearly 2000 votes already planted on machines scattered in heavy-minority locations throughout the city.
Republican poll watchers claim:
One incident occurred at the SALVATION ARMY, 2601 N. 11th St., Philadelphia, Pa: Ward 37, division 8.
Pollwatchers uncovered 4 machines with planted votes; one with over 200 and one with nearly 500...
A second location, 1901 W. Girard Ave., Berean Institute, Philadelphia, Pa, had 300+ votes already on 2 machines at start of day.
ANOTHER INCIDENT: 292 votes on machine at start of day; WARD/DIVISION: 7/7: ADDRESS: 122 W. Erie Ave., Roberto Clemente School, Philadelphia, Pa..
ANOTHER: 456 votes on machine at start of day; WARD/DIVISION: 12/3; ADDRESS: 5657 Chew Ave., storefront, Philadelphia, Pa...
MORE...
The Kerry Campaign says reports of votes already on machines are 'false.'
"Serious news will not appear first on the DRUDGE gossip website," senior Kerry adviser Joe Lockhart told reporters.
Officially, election officials explain the discrepancy is being caused by a number showing how many times various machines have been used.
But officials could not explain why used machines in other locations were reportedly 'clean.'
Elsewhere, a gun was purposely made visible to scare poll watchers at Ward 30, division 11, at 905 S. 20th St., Grand Court. Police were called and quickly surrounded the location...
Developing...
Free joints for extra votes
DNC....doobie doobie do.....
Hmmm. I wonder who was ahead before the first vote. ;-)
Wow - that ex-Phillie Curt Schilling must have SOME influence in his old hometown. He can even get machines to vote without people being present!
That's an old voters' fraud trick. I'm really surprised that a caught it. There is hope.
Let me guess....... all democrat votes?
Death penalty for voter fraud.
Oh boy...here we go!
Is the precinct near a cemetery?
This has been common on mechanical machimes for decades.
I am sure these voters came from the Shady Rest precint....
At least make an issue of it!
Jackson: "Blacks are once again being harrased and disenfranchised. Nobody saw them vote twice, and if they did, it's about time!!
Sure hope they are dem votes and reported as so soon before the dems claim they were republican votes on that machine.
WHO???
this makes me so angry. all the bs that dems spew about voter intimidation which is a bunch of crap and then they try everything they can to fix the election. did anyone see the college students they found at prisons collecting absentee ballots? they should have been arrested for that. the only way this fraud is gonna stop is that they throw these people in jail when they get caught fixing the vote.
What? Only 488 votes. That's good (could have been worse!)
I'm from NJ, Frank Sinatra is our Patron Saint!
That one kind of steamed me and I was hoping to read about some replaced precinct workers and possibly arrests.
BTW, all 3 local stations in Philadelphia reported on some left-wing poll watching group as non-partisan. What a joke!
