Voter Fraud Reported in Philadelphia
Shortly after voting booths opened in Philadelphia, Republican Election Board members were removed from more than half a dozen polling stations in the city.
Amanda Carpenter reported for the conservative website TownHall.com that a “Pennsylvania judge previously ruled that court-appointed poll watchers could be NOT removed from their boards by an on-site election judge, but that is exactly what is happening.”
Election board workers monitor and guard the integrity of the election process. Both Democrats and Republicans keep an eye on the votes cast in order to ensure an open and honest election.
Not so in Philadelphia, however, a city with a long record of fraud in favor of Democrats. Back in 2004, an investigation showed that 2,000 votes had been ‘cast’ for Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry before the voting booths opened.
Meanwhile, via the conservative blog Power Line comes the news that the McCain-Palin campaign has opened a hotline so that voters can report voter fraud. “With the tomorrow’s election, our Honest and Open Election hotline will serve as an informative guide for all Americans participating in the electoral process,” said McCain-Palin National Political Director Mike DuHaime. “The hotline will allow us to learn about and take steps toward remedying any voter irregularities at polling places across the country. While we are hopeful that Election Day will be free of any wrongdoing, allies of the Democrat Party, such as ACORN, have shown a willingness to commit fraud in both this election cycle and in 2004. Given the tightness of the polls, all examples of fraud must be addressed to preserve the integrity of the election.”
Reports of voter fraud, intimidation, and worse are an American tradition. Both sides have people working for them whose job is to deprive supporters of the other from casting their vote. This results every single time in tremendous problems, chaos, and even fights.
Expect more reports of voter fraud to surface in the coming hours.
