It seems that Republicans are so desperate to win they'll cheat and Democrats are so scared of any potential cheating that they will try to head off a "stolen" election with a few semi-legal or even illegal tactics of their own...
Here's today's insane roundup... scary, scary stuff... it's enough to make you think Bob Barr might pull it off after all...
1) Absentee voters in upstate New York were mailed ballots listing Barack's last name as "Osama".
The Democratic commissioner apologized profusely, stating that it was merely a typo and that three proofreaders somehow missed it! What other words did they have to check? "Vote" and "fill in one of these bubbles, morons?" Come on, this is just rigoddamneddiculous.
2) FoxNews thinks it has uncovered a case of voter fraud in Ohio. A pair of newlywed Obama supporters have been picking homeless people up and shuttling them to the early-voting polls, where they are allowed to register and vote on the spot, even without proof of residence. Power to the homeless, we say, but Fox disagrees:
Volunteers supporting
Barack Obama picked up hundreds of people at homeless shelters, soup
kitchens and drug-rehab centers and drove them to a polling place
yesterday on the last day that Ohioans could register and vote on the
same day, almost no questions asked. [Gasp! You mean they didn't ask them anything beyond "are you registered to vote?" and "okay, can you fill this out?" Oh my God! This may be totally illegal-- letting residents of a state who have lost their homes cast ballots anyway!]
Republicans have argued that the window could lead to widespread voter fraud
because officials wouldn't have an opportunity to verify registration
information before ballots were cast. [Fox]
3) A man was shot in the face, ostensibly for wearing a racially-charged t-shirt. The shirt? Pro-Obama. The shooter? Reportedly made racist comments at the scene of the shooting. The story here? The shooting was in South London.
If you hear any more evidence of voter fraud (besides the usual federal-law-violating voter purges within 90 days of an election, which is going on as we speak), let us know in the comments section.
