WEBB CAMPAIGN THREATENS COMPLAINT TO DOJ - **MAJOR** REPUB DIRTY TRICKS
Edited on Mon Nov-06-06 04:08 PM by Bluebear
MSNBC - Citing attempted voter suppression, people getting calls from out of state...flyers being circulated in poor districts saying in big letters SKIP THIS ELECTION then in tiny letters tax and spend liberals, etc.....but at a distance the flyers are confusing people about polling location changes, election being called off... Phone calls threaten if they show up to vote tomorrow and they are registered in another state they will be arrested...

7. RNC flyers going to poor/minority neighborhoods: SKIP THIS ELECTION
The aim is for people to think the election has been changed or called off. Crooked, evil, not to mention, racist.

16. For real?
Because if it's happening in the Allen camp, you can damn well be sure it's happening in the other must-win GOP close races (TN, MO, MT, and probably AZ).

If they're doing this, it's going to hit big!

10. In 2000 Allen got 17% of the black vote. Tomorrow he'll
be lucky to get the votes of 17 black voters. The repukes are running scared.

18. I certainly support going to the DOJ, if only to publicize...
the things MSNBC reported.

19. EXACTLY! GOP is desperate for Allen and if they're doing it for him
you KNOW they're doing for others! (Corker, Burns, Talent, Kyl)

22. I Have NO DOUBT It's Going On All Over... I Thought Robo-Calls
were only going on here in Florida UNTIL YESTERDAY! Waiting until it's too late to file against them seems to be the "soup du jour" this time around!

This is Red Rover's MATH!! Nothing is too low for them to do!! I think they KNOW that far too many people are watching electronic voting and they won't be able to pull the wool over everyone's eyes this time, so they resort to Robos and VOTER SUPPRESSION!!

21. They Need To Get Some "Bull Horns" Out... Too Late To
contact everyone who got targeted, PLUS many of the minorities don't keep glued to the NEWS like we do!!

But if this can be confirmed, I would think that perhaps an INVESTIGATION should be done BEFORE they have the election. Even if it means that the election gets delayed in VA!

It MUST STOP BEFORE the votes are counted because we ALL know how it works out AFTER an election!! This is SERIOUS STUFF... I live in Florida and that sinking feeling really SUCKS when you have worked so hard for your candidate!

25. The facts that this is a nationwide effort
with the same tricks being pulled across the country indicates that a criminal conspiracy exists to harass and defraud voters.

33. I think the NAACP should be informed about this
they might be able to get the word out.

I have a hard time believing this tactic would be very beneficial but sometimes people or just too damn gullible.

Every voter should know elections are held every even numbered year.
Always the first Tuesday of November.

But I realize that a lot of people are not as informed as they should be. I just hope that the good people who received these acts of disenfranchisement are well aware that this is a LIE, A FRAUD, AND CRIMINAL INTIMIDATION...

FOOL US ONCE SHAME ON YOU, FOOL ME TWICE, "WE WON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN" Mad king Boy George aka "Stump."

Stump will be the Mad king's new nickname instead of "Shrub", he will become a Stump, after the Democrats clean house. They can start clearing brush. :rofl:

37. Webb Campaign Threatens Complaint to DOJ
Why are they just threatening? Get busy and file the complaint, seize the machines and ballots--whatever method they are using. I blame the Democrats as much as the R's for this state of affairs at elections nationwide. For five years and three past elections, fraud has been the deciding factor. I have tried numerous times to voice my opinion on election fraud and get a reasonable answer that something will be done to correct the voting system. I have asked one of my senators, the county Democratic party and the State Democratic party to only be responded to with a vacant look as if to say, "What language are you speaking?"
With an opponent of criminals and thugs who have clearly shown they have honed election fraud to a new level, why would any Democrat not understand massive reform is necessary and been working for it since 2000? Living in Oregon with vote by mail, at least we are not subject to the many criminal methods used in other states. I've been an election observer for the past week at my county elections office and I can say the only way for fraud in this count process would be the optical scan machine--perhaps that's happening, but the observer would not know that.
I am disgusted with the Democrats and I loathe the Republicans. Our democracy is gone and Fascism now rules. Short of an armed revolt is there any way out of this mess?

32. I still haven't seen anything on CNN.
Also they have not reported (That I've seen) that Tennessee has had 40% of it's voters vote already in early voting. So the polls you are seeing now may not mean that Ford is so far behind.
