A Repeat of 2004 Philly Voter Chaos, Fraud
Townhall.com ^ | 11/04/2008 | EagleUSA

Posted on 11/04/2008 7:45:29 AM PST by EagleUSA

GOP Election Board members have been tossed out of polling stations in at least half a dozen polling stations in Philadelphia because of their party status.

A Pennsylvania judge previously ruled that court-appointed poll watchers could be NOT removed from their boards by an on-site election judge, but that is exactly what is happening, according to sources on the ground.

It is the duty of election board workers to monitor and guard the integrity of the voting process.

Denying access to the minority (in this case Republican) poll watchers and inspectors is a violation of Pennsylvania state law. Those who violate the law can be punished with a misdemeanor and subjected to a fine of $1,000 and sent to prison between one month and two years.

Those on site are describing the situation as "pandemonium" and there may be video coming of the chaos.

Some of the precincts where Republicans have been removed are: the 44th Ward, 12th and 13th divisions; 6th Ward, 12th division; 32nd Ward, Division 28.

“Election board officials guard the legitimacy of the election process and the idea that Republicans are being intimidated and banned for partisan purposes does not allow for an honest and open election process,” said McCain-Palin spokesman Ben Porritt in a statement to Townhall.

I believe that has been ruled illegal, since cameras intimidate criminals...I mean, minority voters who have grown suspicious due to years of living under the white man’s oppression.

Endtime Ministries is encouraging Americans to take the No National ID pledge on its website, http://www.NoNationalID.com. Concerned citizens who have taken the “No National ID Pledge” vow they will not knowingly vote for any politician who does not commit to the repeal of the Real ID Act.

The original goal for the pledge was 10,000 commitments. “Already, that goal has been vastly exceeded


The Real ID - A National ID or Mark of the Beast?
Since early 2006, Irvin Baxter has been raising awareness of the Real ID Act which requires all U.S. citizens to receive a Real ID card by May, 2008. He speculates that it could lead to the Mark of the Beast in America. Could it, and should we refuse it?

Is the national ID card the next step toward the imposition of the biblical “mark of the beast” Christians believe will be required to buy and sell during the Last Days?

Gosh, if there's not a poll-watcher from each party willing to sign a statement attesting that he was present and observing the procedures at a given ward as votes were cast, wouldn't it be a shame if the results from that ward were disallowed? (Truthfully, that's what I thought was the law.)

Both parties would treat their opposition poll-watchers real nice, and bring 'em coffee and Danish all day.

You already have the mark as evidenced by your anti-Christian spittle, isn’t it obvious to you, too?

B.F.D. You can find a fringe group to support any argument. Unfortunately all YOU are attempting to do is smear someone else’s faith. It is an act of the simple-minded. Maybe you could post something that is productive instead of your typical drool.

Do you consider Southern Baptists as a “Fringe Group”?

The Evangelical Effects of Real ID

With Real ID, it’s no longer a right to move around freely in this country, it’s a privilege. Real ID is required to enter certain buildings, travel between states and get on a plane. Many say it’s a step toward a national surveillance system and national ID card. CAN WE REFUSE IT UNDER RELIGIOUS GROUNDS ? ie. (Mark of the Beast Act)

The ACLU is one organization opposing Real ID,( I can’t stand the ACLU) but not the only one. The spectrum ranges from minority groups to advocates for domestic violence victims, as well as evangelicals who strictly interpret the bible and think national ID is a mark of the beast! One reason many people oppose it involves documentation. Citizens must provide a social security card and birth certificate, which will be scanned into a state database. At this point, there is no plan for a national database, but there are also no safeguards to prevent one.

The act also requires states to limit the types of identifying information an applicant can provide. The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles currently takes 15 different documents for you to prove your identification. Under Real ID, the DMV only takes 7, because those can be verified.

Most individuals can provide a social security card and birth certificate, but that isn’t always the case. Take, for example, African Americans who were denied critical documents during the Jim Crowe era. Another case is immigrants, who are here legally, but can’t always prove it.

They may be a lawful permanent resident. they may be a refugee, they may be an immigrant who is here legally short term. All of these people are going to be stuck in this gray area. because while they’re here perfectly legally, and are entitled to a state license under current rules, they cannot necessarily prove that they’re a citizen.

The Nevada DMV currently has a process to deal with situations where an applicant can’t provide necessary documentation. The Real ID Act and Department of Homeland Security have given states the latitude to create exceptions, but so far, none has been developed or approved.

Real ID can always be circumvented by a passport. The nevada department of motor vehicles just decided that it will still issue a regular Nevada license. So if you have a passport, you don’t travel by air, or simply don’t want to be a part of Real ID, technically, you don’t have to.

IF YOU WANT TO OPPOSE the Mark of the Beast, go to http://www.numbersusa.com/index

By getting your representatives to oppose a bit from numbers USA.

Supporters of the SAVE Act have gained over four-fifths of the signers needed to force a vote in the U.S. House. Click to view the 188 bi-partisan signers of the discharge petition. View list of Representatives blocking the SAVE Act by NOT signing discharge petition. If the petition collects 218 House signatures, the bill can bypass the committee process and be placed on the House floor for a vote, regardless of any objections by Democratic leaders. This is the time to push aside Democratic leadership’s plan for rigged hearings, as well as their larger plan to grant legal work permits for millions of illegal aliens currently holding jobs and huge increases in H-2B and H-1B visas for all types of foreign workers. Your opinion counts, so please let Congress know what prospective American voters want.

Evangelical Christians don't want a national ID card because of of Revelations

There's nothing in The Revelation of John about National ID cards. Of course, there's nothing in there about the United States either. Now, a mark in the forehand or forehead - that's different matter but Christians will be caught up and away before this occurs so what's the worry? There's always a fringe element more interested in their own philosophy than in just reading the truth for what it really says.

Southern Baptists fringe? No. Their leadership in recent years? It seems so.

I agree, much closer than the MSM allowed themselves to let on, at least earlier.

They don't have confidence in their own polls.

Or they just plain know how fraudulent and misleading the polls are, and are meant to be, by design, more about directing future voter behavior, than measuring voter intent or votes cast.

A black lawyer (and Mumia supporter) admitted to breaking elections law:
“In Philadelphia, Michael Coard, a 43-year-old black lawyer, said he was so excited by the election that he took a picture of himself inside the voting booth, casting his vote for Obama.”
