Ron Paul was missing from the ballot at my designated polling place for the 2008PRIMARY RACE at 6 Lee Avenue Stony Point, NY 10980 in Rockland County NY. Upon mentioning this to the poll workers they proceeded to tell me several times that "He dropped out". This is my personal account.
The Ron Paul NYC Headquarters was notified and its now in their hands but its your turn to voice your concern and your discontent with the Rockland County Board of Elections who were responsible for this - whether it was a mistake or intentional its unacceptable.

Don't sit back and tell yourself this was an isolated incident. The headquarters reported that their phone was off the hook with reports that poll workers were falsely notifying people that Ron Paul had dropped out.
If you ask me it is obstructing democracy... treasonous even.
DIGG it Please! http://digg.com/2008_us_electi ons/Ron_Paul_Missing_from_Ball ot_in_Rockland_County_NY
***UPDATE: I have spoken to a gentleman named Frank at the Ron Paul NYC headquarters today and they have had continued reports of poll workers who told voters Ron Paul dropped out and, most offensively, incidents like mine where he was missing from the ballot all together. They are gathering credible evidence and eyewitness accounts from voters, poll watchers, and police. This is being taken very seriously.
BUT while this action is being taken do not sit back and leave it to the lawyers, be PROACTIVE. Stay informed, let your voice be heard, and do not let this happen to ANY candidate in your precinct.
This is unacceptable for a country that has proclaimed itself the "defender of democracy".

just thought id say hey
Bluejay here :p
Have you got British roots?
Your absolutely right. He was "on" the ballot. As I mention in the video he was even on the sample ballot hanging on the wall at my polling place. HOWEVER, his name was not in the voting booth. As I also point out in the video the Board of Elections gave the Journal News a very questionable answer as to why this was so, they said that a piece of paper was put over another unnamed republican candidate who dropped out and this paper "fell" over Ron Pauls name. The strange thing about this is how that piece of paper "fell" over Ron Pauls name being that he was the first candidate on the list with no other candidate above him. AND, further, why put a piece of paper over a republican candidate who dropped out and then leave Guiliani and Edwards who already dropped out as well.
Further, its a HUGE problem when you have poll workers falsely telling voters flat out that a candidate has "dropped out" when, in fact, he has not.
guess its time for the buddy system when we vote!
