Voter purging in Ohio?

[TheGuyAverage]

They used those purged names at ACORN to vote for Barack.

[quailroberts]

Idiot.  Do you realize that secret ballots are the key to free democratic elections? With a receipt, that opens up the risk of buying votes.

[avibard]

Don't you see, this is the only way that they can win; they are immoral, scum bags.

[wolverine2828]

8) sent democrat voters to the wrong precints 9)had bush recieving more votes in disstricts than votes cast 10) had discrepecnies of exit polls to actual votes with a statistical chance of 1 in 3 billion 11) basically took away an estimated 357 thousand votes from the democrats. the republicans will stop at nothing to rig an election. theyre filthy evil people.

[quailroberts]

Do you even need to be reminded about ACORN? Or that the Democratic political machine in Chicago determined the 1960 election? Or that voter fraud occurs 7 times more often in Democratic leaning counties than Republican leaning ones?

And exit polls? Exit polls also showed that 64% of the voters in South Carolina in 2004 were women. They're not exactly fool-proof.

[wolverine2828]

2004 ohio election officlas 1) purged democrat voters form the roll's 2) didnt process democrat voter applications 3) counted 80 thousand votes for kerry and switched them to bush 4) didnt count tens thousands of votes for kerry 5) intentional had malfunctioning machines in democratic districts 6) took kerry off the ballots in some districts 7) had as few as two machines in democratic areas resulting in huge lines. they even found machines locke din a room where nobody had the key to the room.

[BuStFaCe]

If this happens to anyone ASK FOR A PROVISIONAL VOTE they have to give you one. Don't let those dirty republicans rip off America again. This is prove that republicans aren't interested in democracy.

[ciannima]

Republicans cheating again, scum bags!

[MariposaKamikaze]

LOL... I think the UN should send international election observers to the Banana Republic USA to grant fair elections, and to avoid that the same as in 2000 happens again....

[VP2EOH]

At first, I thought this guy was a total wack-job when they showed a copy of the Daily KOS. Then, he uncovered from the Election Board Official how they were disallowing Registration Forms that weren't properly filled out or signed. DUH! Of course these Forms would be disallowed - they were not valid for numerous reasons. So, what's the issue??? If you didn't fill out a valid Form, why would you think you could vote?? I really think that brain damage is a requirement for being a Democrat.

[efeez1986]

Republicans are evil and cynical, plain and simple.

[wilatemodel]

they all r,both parties!the people dont decide anymore!!the rich fuckers do!!,...and have 4 generations!!dont believe anything any of the bastards say!,...they r just puppets 4 the "new world order"..the signs r everywhere!!just open up ur eyes & do some resarch,

[melindakohn]

I live in Ohio, am for Obama, and we out there doing what we can. Re voter fraud in OH: last presidential election maybe, with Blackwell as AG & Diebold. Now, Democrat Jennifer Brunner as AG working really hard on this issue. Think about it. If you were Brunner, would you want to fuck up this election? Take some comfort in that there's a lot of us here who are intelligent enough to ask these questions as well. The gist is voter fraud can and might happen anywhere.

[brenna1975]

I am scared. I live in PA, as most of you know PA is very important for Obama. Last election I voted for Kerry and my vote changed before my very eyes to Bush. I complained as well as MANY other Pennsylvanians and they "SAY" they fixed some problems but I do NOT trust this.

[F33bs]

Electronic voting machines HAVE GOT TO GO.

[grahamkeithtodd]

i agree with you! what is wrong with the british system i.e a cross on a paper ballot?

electronic voting mechines CAN be rigged!

[tyrone70]

yeah, anyone thinking this is a conspiracy theory didn't watch the whole video. the guy wants to point out how easily it is for someone's vote not to count. and this year, it is extremely important that every vote count. unless of course you liked the last 8 years, then feel free to stay home and do nothing. that's being patriotic.

[grayday81]

this system is broken.

You should be able to show up with a valid driver's license or state id to your election spot- that is scanned after you vote so you don't vote elsewhere. This is our right our duty- they make it too hard- because this information is not distributed and people are in the dark about the purging. thanks for this video. spread it around!

[scbluesman13]

Satcomguy, this video was not a blast on possible voter fraud, it was a push piece to get people aware to update their voter information. Please don't confuse this piece with what we read about in Florida in '00 where ballot boxes were found floating in rivers!!!

[Satcomguy]

Dems are always looking for some kind of conspiracy in everything that don't go their way. Sounds to me like the state of Ohio is doing the right thing. If you haven't voted in a number of years, and you haven't repsonded to any requests sent to you asking you to register again, then chances are you have moved or just are not interested in voting anymore. Get a life, and get over it. McCain/Palin in 08. DEAL WITH IT!!!

[FreeAgain2]

How can I be sure if a voter who does not SIGN his voter application is not a FRAUD?

Perhaps I could register in multiple precincts and just "forget" to put my address down.

There is a ton of Fraud going on in Dem registrations, they often PAY volunteers to register voters per registration.

[GretchenDawntreader]

that use the board of elections thing sounds totally bogus. Someone at the polls could easily challenge your voting since you clearly can't be living at the board of elections office.

[Quin7475]

Greg Palast has done a lot of research on this issue. He's hailed as one of the world's foremost energy experts and a conspiracy theorist.

watch?v=2M0WHrLslZE

While I don't like saying that elections are stolen, it's clear that the GOP is very determined to take away the right to vote. It's not based on race. It's based on class. In situations like this you have to be proactive or you will be silenced. You have 17 days.

[Quin7475]

Hey, it's the only way the Republicans can get elected.

[carlothewolf1331]

No, unfortunately, there's another way they can win as demonstrated in the last 2 elections: bought and sold through their GOP whores.

[foxilocks2007]

luvguins (1 day ago) Works for me if only Democrats get purged. LOL. Also wonder how many machines will break down and how the various polling places will handle the marked increase in voter turnout this year.

______________________________­________

WHAT AN ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!

[jla3490]

Absentee Vote everyone.

Obama/Biden '08

[skinnychef]

also in Ohio they have 12 machines in the rich white areas' polling place and three in the lower income and neighborhoods of hue. those of hue must wait HOURS to vote. many do not get but their lunch hour to vote, and are thereby disenfranchised.

[julianhpike]

It's not that hard to register people, if you don't have the intellect nor the drive to figure it out I'm glad you can't vote. While you're at it; stand in front of a locomotive and help clean-up the gene pool...

[avibard]

You are a piece of kitty dropping and I hope that your gene pool gets a check because you will end up kissing the bumper of a PORT-a-POTTY Tractor Trailer you red neck punk!

[julianhpike]

LOL! I have a Master's Degree and work in the Performing Arts as a Lighting Designer. Doesn't really fit your profile of a redneck now does it?

Angry liberals... sigh.

[computerpurple]

A persons free will does come into play here. If you haven't voted in the past two presidental elections than get off your ass and get involved instead of crying victimology.

[luvguins]

Works for me if only Democrats get purged. LOL. Also wonder how many machines will break down and how the various polling places will handle the marked increase in voter turnout this year.

[MooseOfReason]

"Yes. It was Diebold!"

O_O

[PersonalJesus348]

when my choices are Obama and McCain who cares?

[rataMacue22]

If those are the only 2 on your ticket, write in who you want.

[PersonalJesus348]

true but its not about voting its about winning. You need to get someone in power to make the necessary changes.

Those two men get the most backing out of any candidate. So one of the two will have the power. And they won't make any necessary changes. Just enough to get them re-elected.

[moikl]

good video

[wildflowersandi]

Sounds like all those who hadn't voted in the past elections want to vote NOW! HAHAHAHAHHA!

That's why they are comp on KOs-yeah-we want to vote this time! hahahahahahha!

[bleunt]

Why all these complicated rules? Why even the need to register? ALL citizens should have the RIGHT to vote by DEFAULT.

[rataMacue22]

Well, without registration one could vote multiple times... more easily.

[bleunt]

You mean a registration like... Citizenship? I mean, here in Sweden you don't need to do anything at all. You vote, you sign up that have voted, you go home. We don't get any multiple votes, and since it's simple we have a voting rate of 80%. Making it easy and simple is good for democracy. Removing people due to inactivity is just stupid.

[rataMacue22]

Agreed, it is stupid. By registration I meant just sign up that you voted... unfortunately our system is so convoluted that it ends up being a giant pain in the ass, and, like you said, it makes people not want to vote.

[Waranle]

Obama compaign need to make this an issue, shit! Dem need to wake up

[Waranle]

This is fucking not a democracy i mean this is what happens every fucking 4years, shit!

[therealhaxwell]

This happened in the last election. It happened in the election before. It is already happening before this election. The discrepancies are very public. The Democrats have known this. If they truly cared, they would make it an issue. They haven't. Its in their interest to make it an issue. They are losing votes. They must not care. Not enough anyway.

[brenna1975]

I have a degree in political science and my take on this is that it would be a very bad move for the official party Dems to come across as whining. Democrats are seen as weak because the Repubs have been so consolidated for many decades. It is up to US to let this country know how we want things to be run. Be viligent PLEASE. I do not want my life to be run by greedy and immoral people anymore. As close as this election is, the more EVERY single vote counts. Thank you.

[lonelygirll15]

Thank you. Thank you. Oh, and thank you!

[speciesamused]

Their was nothing done in 8 years

to fix the American electoral system. I work the polls it is a broken system. Period.

National Popular Vote Plan, one man one vote elects the president. Google it. Peace

[LeoKinoske]

You work the polls?

How do you feel about it possibly being rigged?

[cosmlayla]

What's going on with Ohio Democratic committee?

Who's watching the store?

[Hyvaerinen]

Discouraging news. My dear American citizens, please do everything you can in order to prevent the farce!!! Rest of the world is soon laughing again at the U.S. and its way of democracy ...

[hillsad]

Can you provide a link or some other proof?

[anonymolol]

the first lady sounds like my drunk grandmother

[Deadbolt277]

Great. This election is fucked too. If Obama doesn't win, I'm moving to Canada.

[shecancreate]

I have voted in ohio for... lets see I am 26 so 8 years I have never had a problem... oh yeah and I voted in a black liberal district. the problem is that voter turn out in black communities is low and many young people haven't been excersizing their right to vote. the ladies on the phone explained what was happening and it sounds like they are taking care of dead weight the people who are being "Purged" aren't voting anyway.

[mcmpress]

People who have not voted in the past because there has not been a candidate that best represents them, have found that representation in Senator Obama. As in the primaries, African American and Hispanic voter turn out for Obama will be huge. Many people voting for the first time in a long time. They have not been "dead weight" but "waiting" to make a vote that MATTERS to them and their lives.

[PsyogiBottoms]

How else are they going to rig the elections AGAIN. lol

[McCainTheTurdburglar]

Beverly sounds like a black woman. Good job supporting the disenfranchisement of your fellow blacks.

[pidbull]

man this is sick

i see bush vs al gore all over again, this time they are playing the game before the recount

[mcresearch]

In Canada, all eligible residents are automatically registered to vote. We vote using paper ballots and not machines. In addition, we have scrutineers from all parties who are present when votes are counted by Elections Canada officials (an independent authority). Why is that so hard?

[RZetlin]

The problem is American Federal elections are run on a state level.

Each state has its own different election system.

So there are no standardize election rules.

It's so silly that Federal elections are not handled by Federal officials but State officials.

[1samothrace77]

so you want george bush counting your vote?

[RZetlin]

In Canada, we have Elections Canada - an independent agency that keeps tabs on the voting.

Would it be that hard to have a Federal agency to have a unified voting system?

Having a state-by-state system doesn't prevent conflicts as shown in the Bush vs. Gore ruling.

[iMBBonlyone]

the Texas two-step and Ohio games ensure there will be confusion.

i am surprised it has taken so long for people to notice.

[roydk06]

Sounds to me the lady on the phone read your dumb ass!

[roydk06]

Sounds to me that the lady on the phone read your dumb ass!

[mayaluvsmusic]

Voting machines will give the election to the Republicans...again.

[roydk06]

As a Clintonite, I hope this is true. We cannot afford liberalism!

[dion1tj]

Yeah, because conservatism hasn't cost a thing.

Only $15 billion a month in Iraq and the implosion of our markets to name the two biggest.

Youtube doesn't give me enough space to list the rest.

[PsyogiBottoms]

Yes - Ignorance is Freedom, Slavery - power. ++GOOD.

[BullnBearAnalytics]

amen

[thecoyote]

Thanks for this. I am now going to call my Texas Board of Elections.

[cparliam]

Coyote I'm calling this morning.
