Disaster in St. Charles, Missouri
Preliminary (more info coming in)

ATTENTION:---- In the entire County of St. Charles, where the Election Director is Rich Chrismer (as in the father of Talent's Campaign Manager, Rich Chrismer), the head of the County Democratic Committee was told, in August, to name all poll judges (the judge part is still uncertain), challengers and watchers! Otherwise, he (Chrismer) did not have to consider any of them!!!

The St. Louis County legal team (headed by, I hear, Shonna Clemmings) knew about this at least two weeks before the cutoff date to submit these names (cutoff was 5:00 PM on Tuesday, 10/31) and managed to get seven people qualified in two weeks!

NOW, in St. Charles County, there are 240,000 ballots to be cast and there will not be one single pair of Democratic eyes to watch the process!

And even with a 60-40 (max) shift to red, that gave the Democrats a span of two weeks to find SEVEN poll challengers or verifiers in two weeks? And they had the 100,000 plus names and address!!

Holy Jumping Jesus!! Why even run the friggin' race? That's like fighting the Battle of Bull Run with Battle Axes!!!












BTW, the Missouri SoS Election Protection Hot Line is 800-669-8683. In case, (hint, hint) you just MIGHT want to call!

1. Brad just said that Robin Carnahan, (sp) the MO SOS
was asked for a photo ID when she went to vote and she had to inform the poll worker that the court had overturned that requirement.

2. Yeah, that was funny! PBS reported it on the news tonight.
And I'll bet they have it corrected by tomorrow!

4. Disaster averted in St. Charles!!
How about the catastrophe in St. Charles??

Three heroic ShowMe citizens fought off the sheriff, GOP lawyers, and Rich Chrismer. Then stuck it out at the 170th precinct in St. Charles County, cameras and all!!

St. Charles went to Talent by 52 to 44% (probably 51% to 48% when we see the films, and recount).

Give a big HIP! HIP! HOORAY!!! to those brave souls from ShowMeTheVote!!!!
