Steff Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Before voting even began in Philadelphia -- poll watchers found nearly 2000 votes already planted on machines scattered throughout the city... 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... INCIDENT: 292 votes on machine at start of day; WARD/DIVISION: 7/7: ADDRESS: 122 W. Erie Ave., Roberto Clemente School, Philadelphia, Pa.; INCIDENT: 456 votes on machine at start of day; WARD/DIVISION: 12/3; ADDRESS: 5657 Chew Ave., storefront, Philadelphia, Pa... 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 surrounded the location...

mmmmmbeeer Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 This whole election really has the potential to get ugly. On a positive note, seems that the polls here in OK are busier than normal. Hopefully we'll see a great turnout across the nation today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 (edited) Just said it on Fox news also. These 24 hour news outlets need any news they can get. Did they say who these votes were for? I would guess they were someone from the last time those machines were used. Most likely from the primary or a local election.

southsider2k5 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Philly....wow I figured that would happen in FL. hehe Between the crack cocaine incentives and 4 counties having more enrolled voters than eligible voters, my money was (and still is) on Ohio.

Actually I would have guessed they were practices for either teaching pollsters how to use the machines and/or making sure the machines were functioning properly.

Steff Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 Didn't get how many for each, but they are reporting that there were votes for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think of that. We always have the same pollsters, so I hope they remeber how to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggliopipe Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 CNN is saying the Dem's defense is that it's just a cumulative count of how many votes the machines have taken in the past. Not that there are votes for Bush or Kerry. It was probably used for the last midterm election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 There were a lot of Green Party votes on the machines, fueling speculation that squirrels got into the polling place and ran across the machines.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerCaseRepublican Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Between the crack cocaine incentives and 4 counties having more enrolled voters than eligible voters, my money was (and still is) on Ohio. You should have seen the Daily Show yesterday when they had the argument about the bigger embarassment to democracy being Florida or Ohio. They went back and forth "Black voters are disenfranchised." "Yeah well all street signs have been taken down in Ohio black neighborhoods!" "Yeah, well Florida just reinstated slavery!" It was hilarious.

KipWellsFan Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Your poll stations should be uniform, not machines here and old fashioned polls there. I never fully trust voting systems and it would be even worse for me if I had to use a bloody machine to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a federal election, everyone should vote with the same method. It doesn't make sense to have all of these different systems for the same election.

Chisoxfn Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I'm sick of all the goddamn bulls*** of how evil republicans are. I swear to god, never in my life have I told someone not to vote or anything else. Yet somehow the democratic party goes out and makes these big hububs that the republican party is the party for disenfranchising people and all this other s***. Fact, their is going to be f***ups on both sides. Hopefully they'll even each other out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never felt so repulsed by the entire political election process as I have in the past few weeks. I certainly want republics to vote (as a staunch liberal) because if they don't it's not democracy. Overall, I think that this ridiculous "evil this" "evil that" crap that has been floating around this election is really pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
