If you were planning to vote yesterday in the Pennsylvania primary you had another thing coming as reports of voting machine problems in all of Obama's stronghold precincts. Several machines were malfunctioning in the city, leading one local community leader to allege "dirty tricks" were the cause.
Many residents trying to cast ballots yesterday found long lines and broken machines and intimidation across the region.Six of ten machines were down at a busy Delaware County polling site. It took 103 people 8 hours to vote in Upper Darby, which is heavily populated by immigrant and first time voters. Many of those freshly-minted voters had difficulties using the six machines that still functioned. "Hell of a day for six of the machines to go down," said one poll worker.
In South Philadelphia, voting machines were broken at 4th and Ritner, smack dab in the middle of a Obama strong hold. "The dirty tricks have begun," said John Lucas, spokesman for the election board, who sees a conspiracy.
A local elections official interviewed on MSNBC acknowledged some problems early Tuesday morning, but he said those had been resolved before midday. He denied reports that only one or two voting machines were functional in some predominantly African American neighborhoods.
"We had a few problems early on. We always do," Fred Voight, a deputy commissioner in Philadelphia told MSNBC.He called reports of machines damaged and broke down "flat out untrue" and said "everything is working smoothly in the city as we speak." The interview aired around 11:15 a.m. Tuesday.
The Justice Department announced Monday that it would have monitors in Philadelphia to ensure compliance with voting laws. "Well if i say so myself they haven't done to good a job to let this tragedy occur.
Our campaign apparently passed along reports of voting machine problems early Tuesday morning. But nothing seem to be reported in the news, as usual their bias shows through once again in their negative coverage on Senator Obama,and their ambushes masked as debates with Clinton.
In ten Pittsburgh neighborhoods, many reports of voting problems were reported to the Tribune Review:
Our campaign said there were problems with machines in Lincoln Place and the Hill District, but county officials that endorsed Hillary Clinton stated they couldn't confirm anything.
Because of the expected large turnout, election judges' difficulty getting machines started at a polling place in North Braddock and another in the city's Banksville section prompted some concern.
At these two sites, election judges, clerks and inspectors, all nominally paid volunteers, initially were unable to print out verification that the voting machines had been set at zero. A technician was dispatched to each location and helped to properly set up the machines,upon further inspection machines had been manipulated and set with 500 to 1500 votes calibrated to Clinton.
Only 30 people in Banksville and several more in North Braddock could use emergency paper ballots to cast their votes, "30 ballots for an entire district" If that's not fraud, i don't know what is. Heavily black districts didn't have any ballots at all just broken or defective machines that didn't work.
If this is what it takes to beat Senator Obama, voter fraud, suppression, intimidation, and manipulation by Republicans switching party's to help Hillary Clinton win primary's then John McCain doesn't have a chance in hell in November. WE REALLY KNOW WHO WON IN PENNSYLVANIA, and it wasn't Hillary Clinton. She was declared the winner, the reason i say declared is because she didn't win there straight up and we all know it.
Hillary Clinton is trying to go after the popular vote so that she can have another argument to make to the super delegates that she has more votes then Barack so she should be the nominee, anyone who lies to the American peoples faces then expects something different once she gets in the White House is sadly mistaken. Barack has and will stay true from start to finish.
POLLING STATIONS FOR HILLARY CLINTON HAD NOT ONE PROBLEM
