Republicans, doing whatever you can to stop Democratic voters from voting?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/16/voter-sup...

Wow, you guys really have to use **** tactics to have a chance at winning huh. We have CEOs threatening to fire employees who don't attend Romney rallies or who vote for Obama. We have threatening letters sent anonymously to neighbors with Obama yard signs. We have thugs intimidating elderly and Latino people as they arrive to register. We have Republican canvassers getting people to fill out voter registration forms and then discarding ones marked as Democrat. We have Republicans purging voter rolls and requiring selected voters to prove that they're not dead. We have last minute changes to polling places, times and rules. I've not heard of any reports of armed intimidation or polling violence, yet, but I would not be surprised at this point.

THIS is what ACTUAL voter fraud looks like conservatives. Voter ID would do nothing to stop it either. Existing laws already in place could stop it, and it IS a felony if caught.

    Cons will ignore the question and evidence to give a random response to how much Obama is a communist

    I'm an elected voter official in PA and have been educated and trained on this very issue.

    To date, we have not been made aware of any personal attacks for lawfully displayed political signage, any CEO's who have intimidated employees or subsequent tactics, intimidation of classes of people (you site minority and elderly populations), or legitimate voter drives that have destroyed legal documents/aka voter registrations. Additionally, it is illegal to alter or change polling places past the registration deadline (at least here in PA) sans an emergency situation (aka a flood or fire occurs at the intended polling place. Of record, this has not occurred more than 3 times in the past 100 years)

    Your accusations are severe and serious - if you're not able to locate your local officials, please do not hesitate to message me so that I may connect you to your local election officers to ensure that these violations cease immediately!

    As for violence occurring the day of elections, if you have any information regarding your insight into this potential, please notify your local police department.

    Thank you for posting such unknown and serious concerns!

    Yep, I made a post about this earlier. They have so many dirty schemes in place like voter suppression and voter intimidation to "losing votes" miscount of votes etc! If they CAN'T win the election on their own good record (they have none), they just STEAL it! *See Bush (S)election! *. The desperate GOPers are really low down, never take your eye off of them if you know what's best!

    Democrats fight just as dirty, and you know it.

    Besides, check out how Biden and Obama continuously interrupt Romney and Ryan during debates and then work up confusing lies about the policies that Romney wants to enact in order to fix the economy.

    Trust me, we work much harder trying to turn democrats into republicans by showing them what the truth is than we do to stifle the vote. All you democrats do is preach deceit and jealousy, begging for another chance in the office and badmouthing people with better ideas.

  • Huffington Post is a joke of a source. So exactly how many of those drunk bums on skid row that were picked up by the Acorn GET OUT THE VOTE Tour who paid them 5.00 for each fraudulent vote - how many have been prosecuted?

    Total fiction...but it was a lovely story, and you told it so well, with such enthusiasm.

    Reality...You just cited long known and disgraceful Democrat tactics.

    Reality...far more Romney supporters are being intimidated as Obambots desperation becomes more intense.

    Reality...Voter ID will stop not one qualified voter from casting a ballot. Those choosing to live underground can still vote absentee.

    I would want to be warned if I was getting laid off, not that it would have occurred to you but, some people do have families and bills to pay. You need time to make arrangements.

    You have definitely been listening to too much OBAMA admistration lies. What you described did in fact happen but it was the Liberal democrats doing it all. Get your facts straight and try again.
