Reports are coming in of calls being made to voters in the conservative stronghold of Lancaster County falsely informing voters that their polling location has changed. The calls are being made from.... Philadelphia.
RS has received a tip that an unknown number of voters in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania are receiving phone calls informing them -- falsely -- that their voting stations have been relocated. At least 3 of the voters who received such calls determined that the information was false, and informed officials of this illegal attempt to prevent them from casting their ballots. The three specific cases that have come to our attention involve different precincts in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania -- which may be the most important one in the nation for John McCain's presidential bid.In at least one case, the voter captured the phone number from which the call originated and later called back. The male who answered confirmed that he had placed the call. According to reversemobilephones.org, the number is assigned to a resident of Philadelphia.
That's how a citizen can engage in suppressing an opponent's turnout.
How can an elected Secretary of State do so with much more effectiveness? Michael Graham shares precisely how it's done in the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts.
After the 2000 election, new federal laws were passed ordering state election officials like Secretaries of State to track ballots requested by active duty military abroad, as well as how many returned and how many were eventually counted. But the Massachusetts Secretary of State, Democrat Bill Galvin, competely ignored this federal law and refused to track these ballots -- an odd oversight from a liberal official notorious for making sure foreign language ballots are at every polling place.Just two weeks ago, the feds forced Massachusetts to enter a consent decree to start enforcing these laws designed to make sure military ballots get counted. We're also going to have federal oversight until 2013 because of our state's disregard for ballots cast by members of the US military who live in Massachusetts.
The same liberals who support giving ballots to those living on park benches won't obey federal law to get ballots to American soldiers and Marines in Iraq.
Ignore the phones. Ignore the radio. Turn off the news. Go to your polling place and vote. Make them tell you your site has changed.
Unfortunately, deployed Marines, soldiers, sailors and airmen do not have that luxury. They have deployed for you. The very least you can do is deploy yourself within your community and exercise the right they protect on your behalf.
And when you return home from your deployment, within the same calendar day, thank them for preserving that right. Not our politicians. Not our election officials. Not our candidates. Nor lawyers, judges or activists.
Thank our men and women in uniform. And honor them by voting.

You are priceless Peabody. In the face of countless thousands fake registrations, improper multiple registrations including individuals on Obam's campaign staff, and this story, you seemingly discount all and blame the Republicans. Why can't you join the great majority of Americans who want all and any voting chicanery eliminated.
If you can demonstrate voting tricks (no naked allegations please)by the Republicans, I believe most Wizbang readers will support their elimination as well. In the meantime, can you put your partisanship aside?

Obviously, peabrain3000, you've not noticed that the Daley machine in Chicago, the O'Connell machine in Albany, NY, and the corrupt government of Philadelphia are all Democrats.
Obviously, you've been drinking the Obama Kool-Aid instead of learning how to look at facts and THEN forming an opinion. (You do it the other way around, just like your hero, who issued his policy statement on Iraq, and AFTERWARDS went there on a fact-finding trip.)

I'm going to be ROFL if after all the money spent on Obama's campaign, all the intimidation of voters and demonstrators, all the "selective" media coverage, and all the fraud, McCain still wins.
The fact that it looks so close after Obama has tried so much harder should really be seen as a slap in the face for him.
Of course, Obama doesn't care; if he wins, he wins, and that's all that counts.

Democrats wanted automated voting machines in fact demand it. Even though people from both sides said there would not be any more secure. Then when issues happen it got to be Republicans. However I always find it great that all the issues occurred in Democrat districts with Dem Electoral Officials and Dem providing security. So after all the expense on Computer Ballots what was the answer to have it print out the vote and then count paper?
It has been the same with everything these last 8 years. Dem say we need to make all baggage screeners federal employees and part of a Union.
No the right says let train and tests them. Nope you guys win and what you wine because they still fail the entire test.
You guys want the DHS to include FEMA. The right says no and you get it then what "OH no FEMA cannot respond since it part of DHS"

Hey pea brain republicans on this blog, virtually all of the glitches and vote-flipping reported from early voters has occurred against the democrats. In fact, Michael S. Connell, was in court for voter tampering on a huge scale in Ohio 2004 and he is still around a known associate of Karl Rove.
The ACORN allegations were totally bogus and came to nothing. False registrations are not a way to cheat in elections since people need to show ID to vote. It's a silly smoke screen you republicans shout about like the stupid monkeys that you all are. All this occurs while Connell hacks computer voting machines.
Obama sucks, has done nothing regarding the military commissions act, impeachment of GWB and Cheney, telecom immunity for illegal spying and he voted for the bail out which is the biggest theft in American history but he's better than McCain, whose foreign policy ideas are not only stupid, but dangerous.

That's odd, because Steve never mentioned ACORN in this post, yet you want to school me on being off-topic?
"who did they vote for? ahhh.. you dunno, eh?"
And why is that important? Fraud is fraud. It matters not one whit who they voted for.
You've repeatedly asked for proof of voter fraud. "Even one incident" you demanded once. And when you've gotten it, you've ignored it and now you're adding qualifiers. You're being mendacious, but it comes as no surprise at this point.
Two of the incidents I linked to were an organized effort. Do you now want to add a new qualifier? How about "wide-spread" organized effort? Then after that, you can add another and arbitrarily define "wide-spread". There's no end to the fun you can have playing with wool over your eyes.

Telling Hamas that you will support a homeland in the middle of Israel sounds good also.

Then the plan of leaving Iraq high and dry so Iran can take them over very nice.
Oh I know the Iraq have to work to defend their country themselves. Just like the we did with S. Vietnamese and then in their hour of need we will again stop funding and allow the country to fall and have another huge humanitarian crisis. After which any help we were receiving in Afghanistan and Pakistan will be nil because we have proved to the world our word is crap.

Hey Shmucko Oyster, I just gave a clear example above of a massive computer fraud on behalf of Bush 2004 and the same guy is at it again at present but is fortunately or hopefully going to be too occupied in court to enact his fraud.
All of this could be avoided if we went back to paper ballots counted by hand with a member of each party present. The republicans screamed like hell about that costing too much. And ACORN wouldn't exist if we had a sane system which did away with the idiotic electoral college and if every citizen is automatically registered to vote.

hey hcddbz, you're wrong about israel. Obama made it quite clear on numerous occasions that he supports israel and never made any real overtures to hamas, which was, incidentally, democratically elected. Obama's middle east policy will be more of the same:Giving no voice to the innocents, the palestinian citizens who were forcibly removed from their land and now live on the brink of starvation. Get your hyper-zionist head out of your tuchus (I am a jew and I can see that the Israeli-American policy has been a huge failure)
JEW does not equal Zionist.
Obama is a fool for thinking military can provide a solution in Afghanistan but he's not stupid enough to support an endless occupation in Iraq for no good cause. The occupation is horrible for America and great for the guys who make the weapons and sell the oil as well as the big banks who finance this butchery and own most of the maistream cheerleading press.
I support Michael Moore: Take the 10 billion we spend in Iraq for just one month and supply the world with fresh water. That would be good for America.

LaMedusa, you are on a non sequitur. If everyone was registered automatically by the gov't from birth records and official citizenship documents there could be no false registrations because people wouldn't be registering themselves and neither would ACORN and so forth be registering anyone. Once someone became a citizen, they would be registered to vote and all they would do is present a valid ID at the the polls.
It's a waste of time and energy to have all these voter registration drives for citizens who ought to be registered as a right of citzenship.
