Pa. won't release list of polling places (fearing terrorism)

Source: Associated Press

State officials have decided not to publicize their list of polling places in Pennsylvania, citing concerns that terrorists could disrupt elections in the commonwealth.

The Department of State was influenced by the terrorist bombings that struck just days before Spain's national elections in 2004, spokeswoman Leslie Amoros said. Election officials consulted with state police, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and the state Office of Homeland Security.

"The agencies agreed it was appropriate not to release the statewide list to protect the public and the integrity of the voting process," Amoros said.

Information on individual polling places remains available on the state voter services Web site or by calling the state or county elections bureaus.

Critics say concealing the compiled list runs afoul of the state's open records law and makes coordinating statewide voter-mobilization strategies more difficult.

Too many similarities to ignore.

"Information on individual polling places remains available on the state voter services Web site or by calling the state or county elections bureaus."

Kinda gives the lie to their lame story;)

They are the "terrorpublicans" or perhaps "terrepublicans" would roll more easily.

I'm listening to Inhofe, the king's idiot, holding forth on a similar theme, ie: hide the truth--don't spread the vicious rumors about global warming; it scares people, especially kids!

The man is a fool.

:applause: :applause:

1) If you disagree, you hate Murika.
2) There's no reason to vote, unless you disagree with Murika.
3) If you hate Murika, you must be a terra-ist.
4) Poor kids first.


:sarcasm:

Isn't this also what enabled, along with other repression, of course, the power brokers there to prevent any true reform in that unfortunate land?

That might result in Repukes getting kicked out of office. :sarcasm:

"...places remains available on the state voter services Web site or by calling the state or county elections bureaus."

Everyone knows them terraismists don't have the Internets or a fricking cell phone!

:sarcasm:

Sec. of the Commonwealth Pedro Cortes is a Dem, governor Rendell is a Dem, and we have a majority in the state house. Why the hell are they doing this?

We'll just have to work harder to get out the vote.

:shrug:

I live in PA, I've both worked and volunteered at the polls, and this is BULLS**T!

all geared up for battle in Florida, and the election hinged on Ohio. This time, we're all ready for the fight of our lives in Ohio, while the election will hinge on some other state.

Pennsylvania?

You know maybe they shouldn't tell us what the election results are either or who our leaders are, because the terrorists might try to assassinate them.

PB

(Oops. Did I just give away a state secret?) And power plants are important. We should hide them too, somehow. Oh, and schools. What a tragedy that would be! Anybody guarding the Mall of America? Lot's of people there.

I mean, wtf? Terrorists are ignoring all the other vulnerable targets to wait for the ones that only exist for one day out of the year? And we can't defend them for that one day?

in this thread that by now someone from DHS is looking in, so:

DHS geek: Get a memo to Chertoff stat. Change election date. Don't reveal new date until 24 hours in advance. Better yet, let's do ALL absentee ballots. We can send them all to DHS first for foreign substance testing, then you can send them back to the counties after you're done testing them. Or why bother; you all just go ahead and count them yourselves and tell us the results. We'll all be safer then. We trust you guys. Let's roll.

As a strategy to condition the public to link terrorist attacks and voting poll locations this is brilliant. When a real terrorist attack or our own false flag op pushes the President to cancel the Elections and declare Martial Law then we can all be safe again.
To paraphrase FDR, "We have nothing but fear".

welcome to the board.

I feel so much safer now!

My state government officials are morons. My apologies to morons.

Neocons, that's who!

they know that they are going to get their asses handed to them in the election.

fucking pricks.

why do the election officials hate america?

specified places or mail the in...

Not only is it very convenient and increases the amount of people that vote, but we don't have to put up w/the fear mongering bullshit.
