I'd call them back....to get the info you needed. Speak gently..especially if they're elderly.
Last week, I emailed the RNC state headquarters in battleground states on this. I got 3 responses back.
They all said that FIRST, they had plenty of lawyers and were very much aware and on top of this.
They also said, that due to motor-voting, voters cannot be removed from rolls unless there are 5 years' of inactivity, so this results in a lot of clutter in the voting rolls and they can't remove it.
Bringyourcamera.com will be launched on Monday along with a massive press release. I will post the release here as well when the site launches.
The site will highlight voter fraud and intimidation and urge voters to bring their camera to the polls to document what goes on.
I'd like to see that. Can I get a ping?
You will get a ping.
This and Judicial activism are the new battlegrounds...I wish there was something more I could personally do.
You get my post? Can you use some help organizing things? I`ll do what I can. I was thinking for starters we could organize the stories according to state and county.
Re: Bringing Cameras to the Polls:
I'm pretty sure that in many, if not most juristictions, cameras are Verbotten at the polls; they consider it "voter intimidation" to take anyone's picture.
Even the press has to be very careful and only photograph people's feet showing under the curtain at the voting booth.
If they catch you, you will probably lose at least your film or digital chip and be shown the door by the LEO assigned to the polling place. You might even be charged with a misdemeanor - I don't know.
Check with your local authorities, and read up on your State Law regarding Voting regulations.
In some states, you cannot wear any partisan T-shirts, hats, or even buttons over a prescribed size at the polls.
Sometimes I wear my NRA cap - the NRA ain't running in this election, but it's pretty obvious who I WON'T be voting for.
In the 2K elections I wore a cowboy hat and hummed "The Yellow Rose of Texas" the whole time I was voting.
I live in Maine, BTW, where that sort of behavior is not particularly "normal".
Nothing illeagal about that, eh?
Smartassed, of course; but legal none the less.
I don't think that we are even allowed to take pictures in the parking lot of suspicious vehicles.
One poster in another topic suggested setting up a covert, discrete surveillance point some distance away in a van or motor home, with a video cam concealed inside a box behind a window, so that at least the comings and goings of busloads of Union thugs, Urban Outdoorspersons, College Students, or other typical multi-voters might be monitored. I think any such shenannigans have to be beyond a certain distance limit away from the polling place, which is probably about the same restrictions as they place on campaign signs.
Here in ME IIRC it's 250 ft.
If your district is heavily Republican, you might even get the desperate demothugs shooting or blowing the place up on film. I wouldn't put much of anything past these loonies at this point. They might try to make voting in America every bit as exiting as voting in Afghanistan, for all I know.
Since most Secretaries of State, Attorney Generals, etc., are essentially political hacks, don't expect much sympathy or support from them, no matter how much evidence of voter fraud you dump in their laps. Especially if your State is controlled by Democrats, as is Maine.
If anything, I would expect them to be doing everything in their power to facilitate and conceal massive voter fraud.
Federal Beauraucrats know all too well that if Kerry does steal the election and they are involved in prosecuting a case of voter fraud in which said successful theft was being perpetrated, they will likely be out a job, health insurance and fat government pension before the case ever gets to court. Where it will be dismissed for "lack of prosecution", of course.
So don't be surprised if they seem a little reluctant to get involved, either.
I suspect that your experience of getting the old bureaucratic buck-passing treatment was a prime example of government employee CYA SOP 101.
No one but the government can hold people accountable for stealing an election; but government wonks historically are very reluctant to do so, since election theft is so often successful, that they may well find themselves subordinate to the Thief, whose subsequent good graces and patronage they will, of course, covet.
In politics, people tend to remember those who have tried to put them in jail, you know - and seldom appreciate it all that much.
Payback, as they say, is a beech; if you've got a nice government job, then why be a hero and screw it all up?
Administrations come, and Administrations go; but you have to milk a Federal Job for at least 25 years in order for it to be a career. And it simply won't do to P!$$ off powerful Politicians along the way.
So America and it's Constitution - not to mention our elections, don't you see - are sold out on a regular basis by those sworn to uphold and defend them.
And it seems that at the moment, George SOROS can afford the tab.
Alas, loyal hearts; I rather think that he knows it.
So "God help America"...
At this point, I frankly don't think that anyone else can.
Please Pass Emergency Anti-Vote Fraud Measure Immediately!
Vote fraud threatens the very core of our republic, and it directly threatens our sovereignty
Please send the following message to your Congressmen and Senators:
Please pass, on an expedited basis, emergency legislation to require voters to show ID at all polling places on Election Day.
Vote fraud threatens the very core of our republic, and it directly threatens our sovereignty. There is a significant amount of evidence emerging that evinces a wide-spread plot to engage in massive voter fraud. Thus, Congress must take immediate action to counter this potential menace.
Congress has the express power to dictate the time, place, and manner in which federal elections are held. The congressional power to make or alter time, place, or manner of federal elections extends to the regulation of voter registration. Federal regulation of the electoral processes, including the regulation of federal voter registration, is also consistent with the Tenth Amendment and permissible; although states do have broad discretion to enact and implement registration procedures, states may not transgress the Constitution. It follows that state voter registration and Election Day statutes that are inconsistent with federal voter registration and Election Day mandates are preempted.
As per the Federal Court in Byrd v. Brice, the government may require a voter to furnish proof of identity at the polling place on Election Day. Such a measure would go a long way in protecting citizens’ federal voting rights from fraudulent practices.
Please set to work immediately on enacting emergency legislation to require a valid ID at the polling places on Election Day.
