Ron Paul Backer Cries Foul In Brooklyn, informed by "multiple" poll workers, that Ron Paul wasn't on the ballot
Steve Miller, a 27-year-old Brooklynite for Ron Paul, just called in to
report that poll workers at PS 180 (57th and 16th Avenue) wrongly informed a
voter who wanted to cast a ballot for the Texas Congressman that there were only
two Republicans on the ballot.
MIller, who is a volunteer poll-wacther for Paul, said the woman tried to
vote on a machine, but was given an emergency ballot when the machine
malfunctioned. She was then informed by "multiple" poll workers, who repeated
their claims to Miller, ("right to my face," he said), that Paul wasn't on the
ballot.
The woman did finally manage to vote for Paul, according to Miller, who said
he has been spending the day traveling from one polling site to another to hand
out Paul literature and talk to voters. He said he was asked to leave one site
(PS 201) even though he was well behind the legal line that denotes the
no-politicking zone.

Mountaineer is still a hottie! As a voter disinterested in politics (parties both corrupt) I never really paid attention to the elections since Jerry Brown. Apparently a lunatic like Ron Paul. Anyway, I can understand all the backstabbing but there seems to be some obviously shady things going on in certain states. I'm not conspiracy oriented but is this business as usual or unusual. Thank god many states are ditching the electronic voting machines. There's a disaster waiting to happen.
