Voters Receive Mysterious Message

11Alive News received dozens of calls from Fourth District residents Monday night who got the following recorded election message:

“This is an official notice for Republican voters. It is a violation of state and federal law to attempt to vote in a Democratic primary without proper documentation. State and federal enforcement officials will be monitoring polling places closely tomorrow for violations of the law. Do not risk violating the law by trying to vote in a Democratic primary without the proper documents. Go to www.sos.state.ga.us for information about Georgia voting law.”

The race is an open primary and Georgia does not have registration. Therefore, any voter can vote in either the Democratic or the Republican party as long proper identification is available.

11Alive News could not confirm who was responsible for the calls.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Open primary?

HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!

Whew! I love it when Democrat dirty tricks, like creating laws allowing open primaries, backfire on them.

Eat dirt, McKinney...

I guess Cynthia will send out the German Shepherd dogs and the State Police to the Polls.

Democrats really are Corrupt and Evil.

Just like SC ,you can vote in either primary if you have a voters permit. However ,if the GOP primary is competitive,few Republicans would want to waste a vote in the other primary.

McKinney..........lying through her a** to the voters? Knock me over with a feather.........

[doodad]

Yeah, heard this when I got up and was furious. What nobody has *69 or caller ID to nail Cindy? How I wish I could vote in this primary, but you wouldn't catch me living in that district again. The AJC is reporting this. Also, did you hear now that the Redford and Clinton endorsements were recycled as well as Young? These guys are incredible. Look for Cindy to again be at the polling places trying to keep them open past seven and stuffing the box. GGRRRRR.

It's such a pleasure to see McKinney desperate. Look for all the dirty tricks, lies and voter fraud across the country in votes for Congressional seats. The Democrats know that Americans don't want them, so they'll steal our votes instead. That is just one indication of their hatred and contempt for decent Americans.

I thought I heard on Fox News the other night that McKinney's people were planning on going after Republicans, to get them to vote in the primary. In fact, I know I heard it, because afterwards, I wondered if Georgia was one of those states that allows cross-over voting in primaries.

Bravo!

Now the key is to have at ready a competing message ready to phone blast voters to counter this tactic. Wonder who has such a resource ready? It costs money to fight the fight in politics. To Dems an election is a crime waiting to happen. How do you stop crime? You anticipate the next move and are ready to counter it. I hope McKinney's opponent is ready.

[Catspaw]

McKinney's desparate. She will go to ANY lengths to win this election, and I mean ANY. I wonder if goons from the NOI are going to be intimidating voters for her outside polling places?

[commish]

This could actually work in Majette's favor, depending on how the news is reporting it. If the TV and AJC are pointing out that it is a LIE, then it may just P*ss off enough Republicans that they make sure they go to the polls and vote against Jihad Cindy.

[Catspaw]

It may well frighten and intimidate some elderly Republican voters into not voting, even if they were told they could cross over. If they hear an assertive/aggressive voice telling them it's illegal to cross over, they may well not vote because of the phone call.

However ,if the GOP primary is competitive,few Republicans would want to waste a vote in the other primary.

There hasn't been a competitive GOP Primary in this district for decades.

Democrats have controlled Ga. politics to such an extent that for years they didn't have to worry about being in power so they would use cross over voting to choose who they wanted to run against.

Today should be very interesting.

What McKinney really means;

Hey! White devils! Don't you go near a voting booth or we'll Mugabe yo azz!

White profiling alive and well in DeKalb county.

Did anyone hear McKinney's campaign manager on 11-Alive this morning? I did not but my, rather apolitical, wife (God bless her) said that during the story about McKinney using an old Andrew Young endorsement, she refused to comment but her campaign manager did. He replied, "That ain't nothin'. The Jews done bought everything anyway. That ain't nothin'." When the reporter then said, Did you say 'Jews'?" The campaign manger replied, "That's right. Jews. J-E-W-S."

Did anyone else see this? Amazing. Not surprising, but amazing.

"GaPeanut" reported on lucianne.com that he/she had heard Billy McKinney say that on local news. I think that's the confirmation you want.

[TommyDale]

Republicans are smart enough to recognize the attempted intimidation, and will ignore these tactics. Democrats are the ones who vote for the wrong candidate because they can't even read!

[aristeides]

Evidence suggesting your prediction may be wrong, and that the McKinney camp may well end up blaming "the Jews" for their defeat.

[Wyatt's Torch]

That's it. Didn't realize it was her insane father. Whew! Thank goodness I was redistricted out of her district.
