A little background: Someone posted a link to the Hillary Clinton Forum on a thread here a few days ago. I've been reading various articles on that site over the past few days. They are PUMAs and, while they all support and wanted Hillary, most support McCain/Palin, watched the Rep convention and are totally against Obama. There are also a few Pubbies on the site, and the discussions are fairly civil. They have been watching for voter fraud and are reporting it to McCain's camp and the RNC.

Posting this here in case you Florida folks aren't aware of it. Looks like the Dims in Fla want to go from hanging chads to absentee voting. As some on the thread linked here have indicated: want people to get their votes in before something comes out about Obama and/or they have a chance to change their minds; and, perhaps easier for fraud.

I noticed on a couple of posts that both of you are in FL so pinging you on this as an FYI.

Best,

Guess what - the McCain campaign is doing it also via RPofFlorida. It’s a four question survey and the 3rd is do you want to vote by absentee, if so here’s the info.

I bet they do.

It’s much easier on those dead voters to mail in their Obama support. A table, a pack of Luckys, a Bud and a pile of forms...how could the ACORN crowd hope for anything better?

[TornadoAlley3]

massive voter fraud this election, Obama wins, Repubs must have many poll watchers present in all swing states especially

[gitmo]

I wonder if the mail service in Florida is any better than mine. This could be a mistake for the democRats.

Can they start counting absentee ballots before the polls actually close? In that case, it’s a clever but probably highly illegal way to do really effective electioneering.

See my post this AM: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2076037/posts and my treatise on vote fraud: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1991953/posts Vote fraudsters love using absentee ballots because they can vote hundreds of times. I expect Obama to attempt a massive vote fraud effort this year. That’s why he has offices and employees in red states that he could not possibly hope to win in a clean election.

Bush did exactly the same in 2004 and McCain is doing so this year. In fact, I got my Request for Absentee Ballot form from the McCain campaign this past week (with a truly AWFUL picture of McCain on it, BTW. What are they thinking?)

Florida has lax absentee voting laws because we have lots of old people who have trouble getting to the polls. Both parties game the system.

I find this interesting. I am a Florida poll worker and a number of county election supervisors are encouraging early voting (in Fl you can vote for 4 days leading up the election) and absentee ballot. This is due to expectations of HUGE voter turnout and anticipated long waiting times to vote.

However, I have also noted that due to the nature of the ballot this year, which I have not seen but have heard from a couple of folks, it is quite substantial either in size or weight and could cost more then a few dollars to mail. Will that prevent people from voting who are tight on cash? or have a vote not count because incorrect postage i put on the envelope?

Just some thoughts.

If you combine the absentee ballot push on this post with the voter registration of people’s pets; it makes perfect sense. It amazes me that the Demonic-rats are the first to accuse fraud and are always the first to be uncovered.
