UPDATE: VOTES 'FOUND ON MACHINES' IN PHILLY BEFORE POLLS OPEN

Before voting even began in Philadelphia -- Republican poll watchers believed they found nearly 2000 votes already planted on machines scattered in heavy-minority locations throughout the city.

Republican poll watchers claim:

One incident occurred at the SALVATION ARMY, 2601 N. 11th St., Philadelphia, Pa: Ward 37, division 8.

Pollwatchers uncovered 4 machines with planted votes; one with over 200 and one with nearly 500...

A second location, 1901 W. Girard Ave., Berean Institute, Philadelphia, Pa, had 300+ votes already on 2 machines at start of day.

ANOTHER INCIDENT: 292 votes on machine at start of day; WARD/DIVISION: 7/7: ADDRESS: 122 W. Erie Ave., Roberto Clemente School, Philadelphia, Pa..

ANOTHER: 456 votes on machine at start of day; WARD/DIVISION: 12/3; ADDRESS: 5657 Chew Ave., storefront, Philadelphia, Pa...

MORE...

The Kerry Campaign says reports of votes already on machines are 'false.'

"Serious news will not appear first on the DRUDGE gossip website," senior Kerry adviser Joe Lockhart told reporters.

Officially, election officials explain the discrepancy is being caused by a number showing how many times various machines have been used.

But officials could not explain why used machines in other locations were reportedly 'clean.'

Elsewhere, a gun was purposely made visible to scare poll watchers at Ward 30, division 11, at 905 S. 20th St., Grand Court. Police were called and quickly surrounded the location...

I had to take my son to the orthodontist, so I've been out of the loop for awhile.

Seen Edwards? He is in court getting as many damage suits on file as possible.

[CyberAnt]

Well .. it appears we are catching them in the act - quite a bit. If that continues, the final count should be fairly accurate.

Kicking out Daschle's attorney was GREAT NEWS!!

Of course, now we will have to put up with Reid as minority leader .. and he's just as horrible as Daschle.

remember this is in Philly, Rendell OWNS IT and anybody with any pull.

Hey, the Second Amendment. ;') CNN hasn't called Ohio or Florida, but strongly suggests they've gone Bush. Similarly, Pennsylvania appears to be Kerry.

[Henchman]

Thanks, it looks like BUSH, popular and electoral. Also we appear strongly in control of Congress!

Let us hope that the GOP will not squander the advantage it has. I hope they undo the efforts of the Dems over the years; close the doors to illegal aliens; eliminate illegal aliens from the determination of the electoral votes. The latter is VERY important because the liberal's give away attracts illegals and gives them disproportionate representation in our country. The extreme liberals may be history in the event Hillary doesn't run or is trashed.

If the republicans, who finally acted against voter fraud to some extent, don't do what is right and American, we are the last generation of Americans.

"Let us hope that the GOP will not squander the advantage it has." I wholeheartedly agree. A friend of mine from the Globe years (the forum, not the newspaper) and Delphi once said, "The Republicans don't seem to understand what it means to have a majority." I think we'll see another defection or two in the House from Dim to Pubbie, after the results come in. There's no point in remaining in the minority party when (as Zell Miller notes again and again) that very party tinkles all over ones values. We need term limits to get rid of career parasites like Ted Kennedy, and House of Rep terms should be longer and overlapping, to avoid the spectacle of every seat being up for grabs every two years.

George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent
