This is such a brazen and blatant illegal move.

Walker needs to lose and hugely.

I hope EVERYONE is paying attention.

This story seems to be getting a lot of coverage, and may just be the last straw for some people who were on the fence about Walker & denying his criminality.

I meant I hope nobody will follow those bogus directions!

And I hope you're right about this being the last straw.

And I'm weak.

I don't know the wording of the rule about no campaigning within ___ feet of a polling place, but if someone is persuaded not to vote by answering a phone call, that in effect makes their home a polling place. Probably a dumb idea, but I wonder whether anybody could be prosecuted on that basis--and even if they couldn't, the trial would bring attention to this absolutely contemptible practice.

which refers to the physical place you vote. It is considered voter suppression and I think it is illegal if they can identify the origin. This won't invalidate the election. In NH in 2002, the Republicans took the Democrats GOTV operation in Manchester down by having a company from somewhere out of state placing massive numbers of calls to tie up the phone lines. They were charged and convicted and sent to jail - but they may have been the reason Sununu won - and he stayed in office until he lost re-election in a rematch.

I don't remember the wording, but there is a statute that outlaws any activities meant to misinform voters & affect their votes.

before his mic feed cut out.

Will somebody please talk me down? I don't have a good feeling about this election--not a good feeling at all and it's depressing as hell. Could somebody please tell me how wrong I am? If Wisconsin can't bounce Walker, then we don't have a prayer of getting rid of Snyder in Michigan. I just have a horrid feeling Walker is going to win today. ARRRRRRGH!!!

Edited for typo in subject line: it should be this instead of his!

while there are editorials backing Walker that partly speak of the normal recourse being defeating someone when they are up for re-election. The fact is there may be some in the middle swayed by the idea that recall should be an exception used if there is provable malfeasance in office - which actually might be proven at some point.

Yet the entire media is pushing this as a predictor for 2012.

As well as writing down caller IDs.

This behavior cannot be tolerated.

preparing for massive electronic voting machine fraud: hoping the Hoi Polloi is deluded into believing Walker has more support than is remotely likely.

And why aren't the perps headed for the crowbar Hilton??

this shit is unbelievable.

However, that hardly matters, since by the time that any possible punitive measures can happen, the election is over. That's assuming of course that anything actually happens; plenty of these sorts of things go down without any real accountability. Even if there is a later investigation, fines, etcetera, it's considered part of the cost of victory.

This ought to be criminal!!

Bake

or pulling any magic votes out of it?

She is no longer reporting the summary for county and is required to report ward totals.

We have folks at every polling place at close and are reporting ward totals to a boiler room so we have the county and ward totals before they even get to Kathy.

you must be too stupid to know your stupid to trust the satan party

isn't there someone somewhere who can be brought to account for this shit?!

Thugs want to talk about "voter fraud," when they are guilty of ELECTION FRAUD!!!!

Bastards, every one of them!!

Bake

operatives end up getting convicted and thrown in jail. There are some in NH, Oregon and a few other places but when the sentencing comes everyone has forgotten that election.

If they don't cheat, they lose.

How does he get away with all his S. H. I. T.

That is all.

Ahem...OK Brothers & Sisters, I'll be reminding you again of the three rules of CONservatism.

1. They clinically lie about everything, all the time.

2. They OWN everything, so they rig everything, all the time, & they'll always buy turncoats.

3. WE, the sane people, CAN NEVER FAIL TO VOTE, DEMMITT!!!, all WE have to do is SHOW UP!

4. When in doubt, for f#(&$ sake, read rule no. 1!!!

actual voter fraud. The person who's planning on fraudulent voting will get a robo-call
from the republicon telling them the wrong date, or polling place has moved, or your candidate
has already won.
