Democrats Plan Extensive Voter Monitoring
Yahoo.com (Reuters) ^ | Oct. 8, 2002

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Party leaders said Tuesday they will launch an extensive effort to promote and monitor voters' rights on Election Day and will put "thousands" of lawyers in place to respond to voters' complaints.

After the difficulties in Florida in the 2000 election and during the Sept. 10 primary, Democrats said they will pay special attention to the Sunshine State.

"We are not going to stand on the sidelines while a third Florida election is bungled," said Democratic Party Chairman Terry McAuliffe, who exhibited a new toll-free call line that will allow voters to register problems and have their calls logged with local election officials and party workers.

After the bitter Florida recount battle in the 2000 presidential election, the state spent more than $30 million installing electronic voting and replacing punch-card systems.

But it still experienced widespread problems in September with new voting machines and voters who were turned away from late opening or early closing polling stations.

McAuliffe said the party will have monitors at problem polling sites. He said "thousands" of lawyers would be on notice to respond to complaints so "no one is intimidated into foregoing their rights."

The 'rats are too dumb to figure it out. They'll just go to jail and never know it was the touchscreen voting that busted them.

I am definitely getting quite concerned with all the shenanigans they have been doing...they are going to try to screw us again and it is dang infuriating.

Let's hope enough GOP lawyers are involved to counteract any attempts by the Democrats at stealing the election...corruption is what the Dems do best.

Ask to speak in front of your church the Sunday before the election and talk about the importantce of voting.....

This alone could have a big impact.

I would like to...I have college classes though. Perhaps I would watch for part of the time. It isn't like this GOP area will have a lot of fraud, but every bit helps.

Republicans in the meantime have to do their own monitoring because you know those Demonrats are up to no good and are using fraudulant votes to cheat elections.

THIS IS WHERE THE DADE FRAUD WILL HAPPEN:

The provisional voter registration. When a person shows up at the polling station and CLAIMS to be eligible to vote, they will receive a form for provisional authority to vote. The person fills out the form and either provides ID or someone swears for the person. (think MS. Brazil will swear for anyone as long as the pigment is correct?) There is not conection with the provisional registration and the actual voting so there is no way to undo any votes. In the democrat dominated couties the fix is in and being prepared.

Additional:
The provisional forms are not numbered. They are often nothing more than a copied form on plain or colored paper. There is ZERO security around this issue.

Remember people, your best way to insure that we get fair honest elections, is become a poll watcher. This has to be done before 12 NOON, October 22, 2002 (here in Florida). You have to go to your County Supervisor of Elections to fill out the paperwork for this very important job.

IMOHO, this is a very important piece of information that we can use to insure correct and proper elections throughout the State of Florida. BTW, the only way you can be a poll-watcher is to be a REGISTERED VOTER. Also in whatever precinct that you are to cover, the poll-workers there have a list of the authorized poll-watchers for that precinct. Make sure that they follow the rules on this. You will also get a piece of paper detailing what you can and cannot do as a poll-watcher (Section 101.131 F.S.). keep this on you when you go to your voting place.

Since miami is democrat (how did the Cubans let that happen?) the judges must also be domocrat and the appeals court in miami must be democrat. I wonder if it legal to videotape the poll workers?

Has your suggestion been started as a thread all its own? In fact - it should be a headline thread that is permanent from now til the election. The Demrats have clearly revealed their intention (as if we didn't know it) is massive voter fraud - on a scale unlike anything we have seen so far.

There is only one thing that will stop their plans - beside PRAYER.

Your suggestion - an army of poll watchers - going two by two or three by three armed with video cameras, regular cameras, cell phones, and if possible a guard. Legal information should be nailed down before this army goes out.

Otherwise - the American Communist Thug Party will win.

Does pong come after ping? : )

"Monitoring"? This could be perceived as "intimidation" couldn't it? The pubs better be ready.

Wednesday update: Rush is mentioning the subject of this thread on his show re: MacAuliffe's Complaint toll number. He's talking about MISSOURI because the dems are worried about losing that one and the Senate would become Pubbie again. Too bad. Jim Talent for Senate!!!

Did the thousands of trial lawyers submit their applications within the 14 day time frame? Doubtful since they don't use Day-Runners.

It isn't like this GOP area will have a lot of fraud, but every bit helps.

Go where you are needed! Pick a RAT dominated district, and file for credentials as a poll watcher. Have several volunteers credentialed to share the time AND so one can slip away to follow the bus from one polling place to the next. Take digital photos of the voters from the bus entering more than one polling place.

Challenge every voter who is not checked for ID by the poll workers. Remember that RATS sometimes register Republican then become poll workers to further the fraud.

FYI, DU lurkers:

Section 101.65 Florida Statutes

Felony Notice: It is a felony under Florida law to accept any gift, payment, or gratuity in exchange for your vote for a candidate. It is also a felony under Florida law to vote in an election using a false identity or false address, or under any other circumstances making your ballot false or fraudulent.

Have a nice day.
