(Whacko Dem) Voter Smashes Touch-Screen Voting Machine in Allentown (PA)
Allentown Call-Chronicle ^

Posted on 11/07/2006 3:13:10 PM PST by MindBender26

A man who reportedly believed Republicans were conspiring to steal today's election entered an Allentown polling site, signed in and proceeded to smash the screen of one of the electronic voting machines with a metal cat paperweight, poll volunteers said.

Michael Young, 43, of 375 Auburn St., will be charged with felony criminal mischief and tampering with voting machines, according to Ronald Manescu, chief of investigations for Allentown police.

"He smashed it with the cat's ears," said volunteer Jim Govostis, who watched the incident unfold at Raker Center, a nursing home owned by Good Shepherd, around 12:30 p.m.

Young, who brought the paperweight with him, then sat down, hung his head and waited for police, who arrested him without incident.

He's probably demanding access to a computer so he can tell his buddies on DU about his heroic deed.

The Democrat leadership and media have lead to this. They should be held responsible.

I'd sooner believe that they'll pay $250,000 for his defense.

I wanted to smash the machine in my Precinct. It kept registering my vote as if it was for the Democrat. I didn't even vote for a Dem where the Dem was unopposed (George Will was a write-in in that case).

It's frightening, because in this day and age in a lot of places you aren't allowed to carry necessary protection.

He'll probably get a light slap on the wrist with some 'Rat judge..... penalties for all forms of fraud and interference with elections should be severe. If it were known that people were sentenced to YEARS for crap like this or the Milwaukee tire slashers (2004) it might be a deterrent. OTOH, some of these Demagogues are so hopped up on rage and drugs that it might be impossible to deter them.

Of all the great stuff that has happened today, this must be the best. Of course, I haven't seen Jon Stewart and Dan Rather and Stephen Colbert eat crap during their mid-term midtacular yet.

I'll tell you what is really frightening. The Dems hate message has caused insanity. Kind of like the jihadis' message.
