Circulating online right now. More election F***ery!

[davsand]

Instagram has something that says Philly voters can't vote for Sanders, the voting machine won't allow it. We also have this gem:

[Faux pas]

1. ...

[VulgarPoet]

2. Once is a fluke, twice is coincidence, however many times we're on now

is clear evidence of fuckery.

[NuclearDem]

30. Or Sanders supporters making shit up.

Which is what they've been doing since Iowa.

[Sparkly]

3. A sample ballot?

What was that?

[bkkyosemite]

5. No! It's a pamphlet and there is another thread on this.

[notadmblnd]

27. no, it was campaign material

[bkkyosemite]

4. The vote machine won't allow it. RIGGED!

[Skwmom]

6. That is VERY minor. Whether the vote is being recorded and counted correctly is the issue

[Blue_In_AK]

7. That's disgusting.

That poll worker should be ashamed of herself. She obviously doesn't understand the law, and then for her to mock the interviewer, "Are you a lawyer?" Unconscionable.

[Lucinda]

15. He is misinforming her. The PA law is campaign materials must be 10 feet way. Not 150. n/t

[Blue_In_AK]

16. I never heard of such a thing.

I'm not doubting you, just saying that it's much, much different here where if you even have a bumper sticker on your car, you can't park close to the door.

And you have to admit that those "sample ballots" are rather deceptive.

[Lucinda]

17. It looked to me like it was the list of delegates to vote for if you were a Clinton supporter

but I'd have to look closer to be sure of that. With her name at the top. I'd have to look at the actual ballot to compare it to though. Some state ballots make it hella hard to figure out who is the delegate for each candidate.

The video description box at youtube shows the relevant law showing the distance from the polling room.

Editing to say Josh Shapiro, one of the names on the paper, is running for Attny General, so the paper is likely a list of candidates the group passing out the fliers supports.

24. Within ten feet of the *entrance*. Video is alleging he was handed

this material by a poll worker inside the polling place.

[suffragette]

29. Poll workers and an election board worker in NY flouted process too.

Sadly, I think they have no shame.

Agree with you that it's unconscionable.

8. Long talk with grandson about this sort of thing today.

He (and I) will not vote for Hillary if she is the nominee. period.
And he feels that if he votes down-ticket, he will also vote for Trump, because he feels Congress won't let Trump get away with the crazy stuff, and Hillary is just downright wrong on everything he cares about.

14. Thanks for that information.

I am not "advocating" for Trump - I am trying to point out that Hillary is sowing a lot of cheating and lies and discord and attacks - in addition to her stances for war and fracking and the TPP, etc. - and what she reaps just may be pretty bad, and not what she is hoping for. Looks to me like Hillary is willing to destroy the Democratic party with her ambition.

9. Oh Look

More whining by Bernie's babies.

[hellofromreddit]

11. The video and your response perfectly reflect the leadership Hillary's campaign demonstrates

[HooptieWagon]

28. It does serve to illustrate that she and her followers are elitists.

Laws don't apply to them, and they get their jollies demeaning and bullying those they consider beneath them. Pretty much the opposite of democracy....it's the beginning of fascism. The silver lining is that the GOP is too stupid to recognize one of their own, and will quickly begin impeachment. First time they'll be actually doing something useful.

[davsand]

13. Adherence to election law would generally be praised if not actually EXPECTED.

Well, in most circles, anyway.

10. "150 ft is like a block away"

LOL

[FlatBaroque]

18. The fuckers want us to give up.

[Raine1967]

19. What is this ish? The guy says that this is an advertisment right there in the video!

This is a whole bunch of bullshit.

I am not buying the BS this video is trying to sell.

[winter is coming]

25. You can't hand out literature inside a polling place,

or at all, if you're a poll worker.

[Raine1967]

31. and yet, this video is trying to do just that.

Thank you for the response.

[NurseJackie]

20. Electioneering within 100 feet* of the entrance of the polling place is not permitted.

(* varies by state)

Handing out sample ballots or providing a stack of "self-serve" sample ballots is electioneering. The unit judge needs to be alerted of the violation so that he/she can be made aware of the violation and take appropriate action.

I think the fellow recording the video was more interested in the drama of engaging with someone who was oblivious to the law, rather than SOLVING the problem by reporting to someone in a position of authority at the polling place.

[davsand]

21. Can't speak to that local election law but the Election Election Judges are it.

Only a Circuit Judge can overturn their decision with a court order. in my state. Even then it is on specific issues. Short of engaging and filming it for posterity, I'm not sure what more could have been done while in that polling place.

I am amazed at the lack of outrage. If this had been the General, and that was a Trump "ad" being distributed INSIDE a polling place, I'm thinking DU would have been in meltdown with calls to mobilize troops or something. WHY is this ok in a Primary

22. It's not okay ... the chief judge needs to be notified

... so that he or she can take care of it. Chief Judges are typically very busy, and can't be everywhere at once, so people should report violations like this. We really don't know what happened prior to the video, or after the video ended. Could this have been a situation created by the person who was taking the video? We don't know. But if it's exactly as it's being presented, then it clear that something needs to be done, but we don't know for a fact that the election judge or the chief judge is willfully allowing it to happen.

23. The rolling irregularity tour has a few more stops today I"m sure of it. nt
