Voters Hell in Arizona: A Pollworker's Story by MCM (To Arizona voters & Ron Paul supporters)


February 12, 2008 at 18:23:31
by Mark Crispin Miller

Despite its title, the following story is not just for Arizona voters or Ron Paul supporters, but for the citizens of every state. It's a detailed (and poignant) firsthand account of someone trying to do her civic duty in a polling place completely insecure and riddled with corruption.

Ms. Zucker's writing comes straight from the heart, and is a little rough. So read it carefully, so that you don't miss any of its revelations.

To Arizona voters & Ron Paul supporters:
A story from inside the Election Process

Subject: Voting: Vote Fraud
February 8, 2008

On February 4, 2008, I, Jeneen Zucker, was asked if I was willing to work at the polling place; located at Christ The Lord Lutheran Church at 9205 East Cave Creek Road in Scottsdale, AZ. This polling place covered all of the Care Free/Cave Creek area.
What you will read below is what I witnessed during my long hours working in that
polling place on February 4 and 5, 2008.

On February 4, 2008 I helped set things up according to the directions given to me by the other workers. When we left we were all told to be back in the morning at 5:30 am.

When I arrived people where already lined up at the door. To my surprise I found out the other board members, Barbara Owings and Sharron Hayes and Frank Villers, came much earlier. We were all sworn in and the polls were opened at 6:00 am.

The room started to fill up quickly. The two women, Barbara Owings and Sharron Hayes, were in charge of giving voter clearance with their three books, Signature Roster, Blue Poll List and Green Precinct Register. I had the Ballots Register. I was never given 1 of the three copies of the Yellow Add on list, to help me assist the voters on this list with their party ballots. This set up the situation of workers announcing party preference of voters in line who were on the yellow add on list, which made voters unhappy.

1. Oh my God.
I would take this letter in hand and take it to the local news, send copies to the networks, and march it into my Governor's office and demand to see him/her in person (hopefully with a news crew in tow).

Or I would TRY to.

This is inexcusable.

We laugh about the elections abroad that are bogus -- I never believed it was happening here, nor to the extent we're hearing about.

2. Now both sides are starting to see it
which is good for the election reform movement that up until now has been a one sided movement.
