Drudge has got the siren out, claiming voter fraud in PA

"Before voting even began in Philladelphia -- poll watchers found nearly 2000 votes already planted on machines scattered throughout downtown... One incident occurred at 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... "

They need to be made to PAY

the Dems?

Why trust him on something like this?

I have completely ignored him.

Anyone else get the feeling that this is a Rovian tactic to lay the groundwork for massive challenges...?

I don't know all of those locations, but at least one appears to be in a mainly black area of Phila.

They're trying to muddy the waters.

You hit the nail on the head. When Kerry takes PA they will be whining about voter fraud since Drudge got it out there so early.

I refuse to go to that moran's site and read it myself, so since you were already there, I'm just askin'.

What a fucktard.

Shocking.

Fuck Off, Pen-Boy.

The fact that Drudge's top story isn't about Bush winning, but about a potential reason Bush is going to lose, is good news.

The gig is up, and all the GOP will have to rely on are these tenuous claims of Dem voter fraud. And I expect these will go away, as the tide turns clearly in Kerry's favor.

Leftover test votes from the "testing" of the voting machines the night before that were never cleared. Of course those votes were repuke votes.

This sort of thing happens more often than most people would care to admit. The machines are not wiped clcean after the testing.

That's why they check before they start.

:eyes:

And how do you fit hundreds of them in the machine at one time?

I saw this happen w/my own eyes in Miami-Dade in 2002, when I was working on the Anne Bettancourt campaign against Mario Diaz Balart.

Repub ops to make Dems look bad?

In any swing/close state they think they can get away with it. Anything "leaning Kerry" is going to necessitate a recount from their thinking.

not paper ballots.

not paper ballots.

Drudge is so last century.

They've already tried to plant fake fliers in a Dem HQ, but it backfired - someone who saw them, threw them out. The next day, someone shows up to "discover" the fliers and report them to Drudge, but they were in the trash. So he asked to see one, then went to the media, and Drudge put up a siren. Classic Rove. He's done several instances of planting fliers, making them look like his opponent did it.

I come to DU because it is pointless to look at all of the CNN, Fox, Drudge, Limbaugh crap but here it is.

one candidate and some will be for the other - if all the votes go one way, it's fraud

Grow up folks - both parties have their tricks - historically Reps have suppressed the vote and Dems have inflated it - let's hope this doesn't screw up voting in Philly today

:grr: :grr: :grr:

Never give up. Never surrender.

:kick:

Drudge didn't include that, but Howard Stern did.

MATT DRUDGE IS A ONE MAN INTERNET FREAK SHOW. PLEASE IGNORE THE "MISSING LINK" TODAY.


Thank You.

Pennsylvania GOP is going to file suit in the Court of Common Pleas in an effort to have the machines in question impounded and have them replaced 'with machines that did not already have votes on them'... Developing...


The key thing is the votes were found and our system is working. The workers are checking the machines and these machines have been impounded.
