Not the first time for this crap.

In precincts 7, 19, 51 in Philly, PA, the crowds are going wild. Inside several voting locations, individuals have poured white out onto the polling books and the poll workers are allowing voters to go into the polls and vote without first registering. Several individuals are on hand demanding that voters vote straight Democrat.
RNC lawyers have headed to the scene of the incidents, which are occurring in mostly hispanic precinct locations. The District Attorney has also been contacted.
Typical. I think Philly has to be one of the most politically corrupt cities in the country...probably only behind Chicago and maybe Detroit. They have these union goons hanging around the polling places, and the election workers are all in the back pocket of the Democratic party. Christ himself could run for mayor here, and he'd still lose overwhelmingly. And that's even before you count the dead vote.
I couldn't agree with you more.
If so, then this thread should be pulled.
The article does say Ward not precinct
It does now, but they had to change it (see the version at the top of the thread).
What it doesn't state is what polling place in the Ward where it's happening.
See, that's the real key, what makes me so sure this is a fake story. If a person really took three calls from three separate people you'd figure they'd realize that you'd need two identifiers (ward and district) to determine a location. Not just bad terminology, but a lack of necessary identification.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there's fraud going on. I documented this the last two even year elections here. All sorts of stuff from following voters into the booth to running off poll workers with threats of guns to people showing up only to discover someone already voted for them.
This just ain't it.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
that is good news
No:)
At minimum, you should ask the Mods to add "unsubstantiated" to thread title. FReeper on the scene reports nothing happening.
I'm tempted as well. If you do, be careful...the Dem/Union goons don't like people with cameras much.
Watch out for the ANSWER and UFPJ goons as well...

Ah. I'm going to vote in about an hour and plan on doing the same thing, so I'll keep an eye on what the screen says in response. Should be interesting. :)

That is fine with me. This is my first thread, so i didn't know you could tag it with something that says "unsubstatiated." It has been my intent the whole morning to get people on the gound to determine that very fact, namely whether this is or is not true.
Well I just looked at the locations and there are too many.They would not pull anything at the firehouse I can tell you that.
I'm a registered Republican. In the 2004 presidential election, I went to the same polling place, in NJ, to which I had gone for previous 25 years. The young gal, who seemed to "take charge" told me I was at the wrong place...that my name wasn't in her book.
Puzzled, I drove 3 miles to the county building. They, in turn, said I was correct, and sent me back to tell her that I must now vote by provisional ballot.
This young gal secluded me behind a cardboard privacy screen, and I proceeded to vote Republican. I folded the ballot. On the outside of it, was written, "If this is a primary election, you must check Republican or Democrat." Naturally, I left it blank. She saw it, and told me that I must show that I'm voting either Republican or Democrat. I explained to her that this was a "general election." She insisted it was a "primary" election!
We went round and round for several minutes. She got so angry and told me she wouldn't accept my vote if I didn't check a box. I threw up my hands, checked the box next to "Republican," and left.
Upon returning home, I called an election official who was livid. She said, "You know, we pay these people, we spend many hours training them, and this is what we get!"
I said, "Well, I'm assuming my vote won't count."
She replied, "Unfortunately, you're right."
We should start showing up at the polls with our tumbs dipped in purple ink....
I think I'm going to be sick... Lord please don't let them steal this election.
Porqué esos bastardos!
