  • Voting Irregularities

       November 02, 2004

    We'll try to update this thread throughout the day with reports of voting irregularities. If you see any that aren't posted here, please email BOTH james@dummocrats.com and kris@dummocrats.com with the updates. Thanks.

    From Drudge:

    VOTES FOUND ON MACHINES IN PHILLY, BEFORE POLLS OPEN

    Before voting even began in Philladelphia -- 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... Developing... 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... Developing...

    UPDATE: Philly vote commissioner Ed Schulgan claims this story is false.

    From AP:

    One polling location in Mauldin, S.C., was forced to switch to paper ballots because of equipment troubles.

    From AP:

    In Volusia County, Fla., a memory card in an optical-scan voting machine failed Monday at an early voting site and didn't count 13,000 ballots. Officials planned to feed and count those ballots Tuesday.


    In Milwaukee:

    GOP Vehicles Vandalized In Milwaukee
    Vans To Be Used To Get Poll Watchers, Voters To Polls

    MILWAUKEE -- Election Day got off to an ugly start at a parking lot on Milwaukee's northwest side.

    Someone slashed the tires on 30 vehicles that were designated for the local Bush/Cheney campaign.


    Reader Joe alerts us that blogger Blackfive was disenfranchised as he tried to vote in Chicago today, along with several other registered Republicans:

    They turned everyone (that was not in the books) away.

    As I left on my way to the County Election Commission to file a complaint, I asked ten different people who were also denied a vote because they weren't in the book, "Are you Republicans?"

    All ten replied, "Yes."

    Voters Given Two Ballots In Brevard


    "The ballot I was given did not have that issue on it but I turned it in," voter John Jacobs said. "Then, my wife, who voted before me said it was on hers."

    Jacobs and others complained to the precinct supervisor who reportedly gave them another ballot.

    "I'm very upset," Brevard County Supervisor of Elections Fred Galey said. "She (precinct supervisor) was still brain dead and gave them the ballot with the annexation question on it."

    call 1-888-610-8170

    if you have an issue with voter fraud, call that number. It can't hurt. That is what it is there for.

    Okay, settle down people. My husband is furious because he wasn't on the register and he is a straight ticket DEMOCRAT. (We're in North Park in Chicago.) I had my new card but I had gotten it at a different time when we married and I changed my name this year. I voted in the primary and he did too. I vote both sides of the aisle, each and every election, consistently. If anyone was going to get booted, it would have been me.

    I think it has more to do with the new voter registration and district changes, frankly. Still incompetent, but not a conspiracy. Just stash the tinfoil hats for a little while, please, and ease up on the "conspiracy theory" rush to judgement. (Both sides have got to chill out about this.) It's embarrassing every time I defend a Rep candidate and all of these conspiracy theories are being trotted around, some quite ridiculous! Help us out here, people.

    Blackfive disenfranchised? Maybe he should move to Florida! Every election is nice and smooth there.

    Of course, it doesn't matter if the Philadelphia story was false. It doesn't matter that every "inner city" fraud rumor spread by FNC dunderheads prooved false. It doesn't matter that Nathan Sproul violated election laws in a dozen states and denied many people their opportunity to vote. It doesn't matter that people indicted for voter registration fraud in South Dakota got to run the voter registration in Ohio. No, none of this matters, because some jack in Chicago asked (and we are supposed to take his word for it too) ten people around him if they all Republicans and they all said "yes". Sure. I don't doubt that Cook County had a screw up--there are few things that the county does that go smoothly. I don't doubt that the man was left off the voter roll books and he did get to jump through a few hoops before he was allowed to vote. I don't doubt the general outline of his story one bit. It's the nasty details that I don't believe. Consider the source!
