Voter suppression and voter fraud stories are ALL over the place. All Americans can do.....besides get involved by volunteering at the polls........is rely on the integrity and diligence of the people charged with oversight of poll places and Absentee counting to insure it is an honest and fair process.

And this Keith? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Repeat of 2004 Philly Voter Chaos, Fraud Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 7:46 AM Tuesday, November 04, 2008 GOP Election Board members have been tossed out of polling stations in more than half a dozen polling stations in Philadelphia because of their party status. A liberal 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. It is the duty of election board workers to monitor and guard the integrity of the voting process. Denying access to the minority (in this case REPUBLICAN) POLL WATCHERS and inspectors is a violation of Pennsylvania state law. Those who violate the law can be punished with a misdemeanor subject to a fine of $1,000 and prison of between one month and two years. Those on site as describing it as "pandemonium" and there may be video coming of the chaos. Some of the precincts where Republicans have been removed are: the 44th Ward, 12th and 13th divisions; 6th Ward, 12th division; 32nd Ward, Division 28. "Election board officials guard the legitimacy of the election process and the idea that Republicans are being intimidated and banned for partisan purposes does not allow for an honest and open election process," said McCain-Palin spokesman Ben Porritt in a statement to Townhall. The City of Brotherly Love was roiled in controversy during the 2004 election because of rigged voting machines that showed nearly 2,000 votes for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry before the polls had opened. A man also used a gun to intimidate POLL workers at Ward 30, division 11 in 2004. townhall.com
