Heard this on the radio this morning and checked the Web site for the article.

If the governor's race is as close as it was in 1992 between and Glendening and Sauerbrey (and it sure looks like it's going to be), these votes could be critical.

Could even cause this nightmare scenario: Ehrlich looks like a winner on Tuesday night but loses when the absentee ballots are counted.

[plain talk]

What we learned in 2000 is that democrat election officials are incompetent. Republicans should get on the offense about the 2000 election and keep pointing out democrat incompentency instead of hoping the memory of it just goes away. We need to influence how history will be written.

[error99]

"...Scores of Maryland voters are in jeopardy of losing their vote in Tuesday's election after Democrat-appointed election officials rejected more than 10,000 Republican absentee-ballot applications..."

"10,000" - now that's a lot of "scores"...

[for-q-clinton]

This is so ironic. You mean the RATs are going to go against the intent of the voter? If they are willing to take this action, it would suggest everything they did in Flori-duh, NJ, HI, MN, is purely for political reasons and not out of their belief for a fair election.

Shocking!

[LurkedLongEnough]

Jonathan Horn, 20, a Montgomery County resident attending Yale University in New Haven, Conn., learned too late that the application he mailed home from school was no good.

I'm surprised that the writer doesn't instead quote some lonely white guy with a gun who lost his chance to vote.

[clamper1797]

There should be a lesson here. DO NOT vote absentee unless you absolutely have to. Granted there are those in the military that have to vote absentee BUT that little trip to the coast can wait a few hours with so much at stake. I hear of people voting all the time for very frivilous reasons.

[Mamzelle]

The dems won't leave anything to chance in MD. There's no point in a Republican even running and investing because the state is so corrupt. Why grow a crop for someone else to steal? Shudder. I fear it's catching...

[Skooz]

Get ready for more of this next week. I have a feeling the Clinton/McAuliff evil cabal has much more of this in-your-face, law defying sleaziness up its sleave.

Tuesday night and Wednesday will be very interesting.

[Fred Mertz]

Bump of outrage.

[drb9]

I'm actually one of the 10,000 applicants who was rejected. What makes my case even more egregious is that I had actually filled in the missing information (date of birth) before sending it back. I sent a note to the Republican Party to let them know that, in my view, this indicates an intent by the election board to deprive a likely Republican voter of the opportunity to vote. I am discouraged that I live in MD and not VA.

(On the other hand, what kind of bone-headed people are running the MD Republican Party that they can't create a proper absentee ballot request form, which has only five required elements. Jeez.)

[Straight Vermonter]

This is a little off the subject but I keep seeing all of these college kids involved in the absentee ballot situations. These guys live 9 months a year in another state and they can still vote in their home state? I know the out of state students here in Vermont vote in our elections. Are these guys voting twice? Is anyone looking at this?

[Physicist]

I don't understand. Are there different absentee ballots for Republicans and Democrats?

And why are these things being reviewed now? It seems to me that the legal pettifogging should have been ironed out six months ago.

That being said, if the Republicans screwed up and didn't ask voters' birthdates as required by law, they have nobody to blame but themselves. Get the ballots in and let the courts decide. (Not that the courts were much help in upholding the law in New Jersey, but still.)

[apillar]

See..

Laws only apply to Republicans.

The Absentee Ballot Requests could have been in crayon on used toilet paper if it was a Democrat and would have been accepted as to not "disenfranchise" the votor.

[mickie]

Doesn't Maryland lead the Country in the crome rate>

Isn't it time for a change?

[Hatteras]

Republicans keep showing up to the gunfight with a knife BUMP!

[alnick]

People need to start going to jail for these kind of shenanigans. Forget filing a civil suit. Bring criminal charges.

[js1138]

My guess is that 80 percent of those people are physically capable of going to the polls. They should be mad enough to do it.

[Brookhaven]

Party officials acquiesced when the election board stated in an Oct. 22 memorandum that voters would be notified in a timely manner.

There's the problem. They should have gotten a definite date.

[mr.sarcastic]

Important Maryland Election Fraud Bump!

Marylanders are being disenfranchised by the Democratic Party!

[ReaganIsRight]

Wait until 3:00 when Ron Smith gets his teeth into this.

He's smart enough to live in PA, and I looked into moving to Shrewsbury, PA back around '90 (and '79 and '85). The realtor I spoke with was married to a real estate tax assesor in MD, and they lived in PA too.

The Rats lost the gov. election back in '94 yet got a Pubbie to certify the fraud by giving her a gov. job! Look at what that cost MD!

[Kenny Bunk]

You ain't seen nothing yet!

MD residents were warned continually on this site that the is election was a little tighter than the Democraps like, so it would be decided by fraud.

The mentally defective Kennedy-Townsend, who is so goddam dumb she needs "Good Morning" and "Hello" scripted, will receive all the votes she needs from Baltimore. A 105% turnout including multiple DEMOCRAP absentee ballots is on the way.These 10,000 denied absentees were just a little extra insurance.

If there are not at least 100,000 fake votes available in Baltimore, I'll drive down and buy every one of the phony-voting Democrap SOBs, including registered illegal aliens, multiple voters from the black churches, and the cities' graveyards a goddam drink! There are people voting in Baltimore who have been on the rolls since 1789.

It would be bad enough if illegal voters only voted once. Thanks to the magic of absentee ballots, motor voter, and a little computer wizardry with which the Democraps create entire clans and equip them with absentee ballots, the bastards will vote 3&4 times! How do you Marylanders think you got Glendenning?

There is one wild card. It is now possible for even a private citizen to effectively file an election fraud lawsuit. This coming election could take a year to settle. Wise up and take this state back from the stupid and those who manipulate them.
