Election Fraud: Philly Style

Living in the Philadelphia area for a decade has taught me a thing or two about what “Philly Style” actually means. For example, in a “Philly style cheesesteak” the cheese is not cheese, but “Cheese Whiz,” the steak is not steak, but shredded beef, and if “Philly” appears anywhere in the name, it is not a “Philly cheesesteak.” A submarine or hero sandwich is either a hoagie or a grinder, unless it has pickles, then it is from “Subway.” Scrapple, pork rolls, and pepper pot soup all taste great as long as you do not know what goes in them. Pretzels are not pretzels unless they come all stuck together in a big slab from a street vendor who has smothered them in yellow mustard. A lunch cake is a “Tastycake,” even if it happens to be a “Twinkie.” And, I am still trying to figure out the difference between a cinnamon roll and a sticky bun.

As you can see, living in Philadelphia is not as simple as you might think. But, the general rule of thumb is if something says “Philly Style” then it is probably something a little bit different than what you think it is.

Unfortunately, this rule does not apply just to Philadelphia cuisine, but its general elections as well.

What you might call “a decades old vote and corruption manufacturing machine bent on nothing other than enriching a privileged few and the Democratic Party at the expense of the average person through an unchecked system of graft, fraud, and intimidation,” Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell calls a fair election, “Philly Style!”

The total number of registered voters in Philadelphia is 1,066,222. The Census estimates the total voting age population in Philadelphia as 1,107,696. This means that just 40,000, or 4%, of the voting population is unregistered in the entire city. So you can reasonably assume that in a random sampling of Philadelphians at least 80% would be registered voters. With voter registration cards in hand, I rushed to Philadelphia to find out.

First, let me stress that despite the fact that I had a note pad and calculator in my coat pocket, this was not a scientific survey. People who ignored me, pushed me gruffly aside, threw things at me, or accused me of having an inappropriate relationship with my mother were not counted. Neither was anyone who took one of my voter registration cards and threw it immediately away.

So, here are the results. Chance of chances, I must have miraculously stumbled upon the one section of Philadelphia in which most of the 40,000 unregistered voters ate lunch, because, over the course of 2 hours and 35 minutes, I handed out over 90 voter registration cards. I jumped right on the phone to let the Mayor’s Office know, but they hung up on me.

The possibility of Pennsylvania going from blue to red in a national election gives the liberals a case of indigestion like no Philly cheesesteak ever could. And, just like rooting for Dallas at an Eagles game, it is something Philadelphia will not allow without a fight.

My brother lives in Philly, he was also complaining about fraud during election time. It was obvious, such as the Mayor ensuring all prisoners were given ballots, to the polling stations not checking ID, allowing you to vote as many times as you wanted, liberal groups allowed to set up right outside polling stations, etc. The MSM covered it up.
