Voting Fraud Alert!!!! Orange County, CA
From Huffington Post:

THIS JUST IN!

Calls are coming in from the 48th District of Orange County, California are reporting voting machines in over 30 heavily Democratic precincts are not working and at most of these locations there are no paper ballots available as backups.

In some of the precincts, where machines aren't working, if there are paper ballorts, they are in Vietnamese.


Commenters, here's you big job today. Keep listing phone numbers all over the country where people can report voting problems.

Thanks!

Steve

To report voter problems:

1-866 OUR VOTE, (1-866-687-8683)

The Election Protection Coalition is sending monitors to voting centers across the country. They've also established a toll-free hotline for voters to call in case they experience problems at the polls. The coalition is lead by the People For the American Way, the NAACP, and the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.

Barbara Arnwine, executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. The Lawyers Committee is part of the Election Protection Coalition.

9. Is it just me, or does it seem like these machine problems
Edited on Tue Nov-07-06 04:01 PM by Boo Boo
are happening in Dem districts (regardless of State). Any reports of failures in Repub strongholds? Perhaps we're only paying attention to reports from outraged Dems, so it just seems Dem-specific?

:shrug:

This would be so wrong even if it was in Republican precints--a vote is a sacred thing even if the person casting it is stupid--but OMG I can't believe this is happening! Can't these criminals be SUBTLE about stifling the vote?
