Voters report fake calls

Instructions to change polling place don’t come from board of elections

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

The caller interrupting a North Side couple’s dinner earlier this week said he was from the Franklin County Board of Elections.

He told the elderly woman that her voting site had changed and that on Nov. 2 she and her husband should cast their ballots at a South Side precinct. The caller even left the phone number of the board.

Her husband, who didn’t want their names published out of fear of retribution, called the board, sat through a long menu of automated options and finally spoke with an employee.

"They said there was no way in the world they would make such a call," he said. "I think it’s hankypanky and somebody in the election is trying to kill some votes."

At no time, Elections Director Matthew Damschroder said, does the board call voters.

4. After the 2000 election, it's not gotten dirtier, it's just being NOTICED

You know, I realized those fuckers did ALL these things last time, BUT we all had no media interest in it, nor did we have the coordinated communication about it. I am convinced, more than ever, that ALL of these things happened last time, and it's how Bush got close enough to steal it.

The republicans who are once again trying to thwart democracy are the filthiest, most hypocritical pigs around. Bush and his thieving asshole friends are touting the fucking free Afghanistan and Iraq elections, as a reason to vote for him... while destroying OURS.
