PRESIDENT Kerry: I apologize you were robbed
Folks, this is UNACCEPTABLE. Absolutely without a doubt the worst act the Republicans could have ever pulled off, and it was right in front of our eyes. Think about this, long and hard: the reason we are so angry, distraught, shocked, hurt, confused, and always on the verge of throwing in the towel out of sheer exhaustion is because of the results we have gotten from a MAN WHO NEVER ONCE WON AN ELECTION TO THE PRESIDENCY. NOT ONCE.
When will it end? WHEN? Virginia got these great Diebold machines right before the election, remember? So, think about it...maybe VA IS blue, and we don't know it. Maybe Kaine won by 75 % and we just don't know it. and maybe Allen will lose big time to James Webb, AND WE JUST WON'T KNOW IT.
This is the biggest issue we have to fear, friends. It has happened before, and it WILL happen again.
And nothing has been done. Not a damn thing.
For shame, America, FOR SHAME.
Other issues inside the polling place
Fauquier County, Fauquier County, Virginia
Sample Ballots in the voting booth filled out with all Republicans. Polling place is only providing ball point pens. The polling place is aware of the situation and it seems to be a recurring problem. There are also individuals from the church just hanging around the polling place.
folks, we better get ready to fight.
Flyers posted in apartment complex from "Franklin County Board of Elections" directing Republicans to vote on 11/2 and Democrats to vote on 11/3. Caller faxed copy of flyer.
The voters were turned away from the polls after standing in a four hour line because they were out of provisional ballots. The election official told them to come back the next day. He wouldn't put it in writing, and ripped the voters early voting voter's certificate in half.
There were many many complaints after the 04 election with people saying they pressed the Diebold button for Kerry and the computer confirmed it at Bush. I can find the media source//quotes if anyone cares. Harris Miller had a few things to say at the time (of course, in support of Diebold)
I've written previously about this on my own blog. We need verified voting, plain & simple. Shame on the General Assembly for passing on the bill which would have run a pilot program on paper trails.
