5. After you 'submit a problem' Obama's website asks for a donation.
Try it yourself!

18. It's the ol' okey doke. You enter your info, they do nothing, and add your name to their spam list.
And with Hope, some of your hard earned dough.
You really think typing to the Obama site is going to do anythingg about voter troubles today?

25. That's not the same thing as asking for money when you report a problem.
You made it sound like as soon as you report the problem they ask for a donation.

That is not what happens.

17. How dare you spread falsehoods like that! I just reported a problem...
And they didn't aske me for any money; just to forward my message to others.

You have some nerve.

6. don't think they don't care. or won't do anything.
this was one of the fields of expertise at barack's former law firm. and i do think they are serious.
i think they also know that they will not win the big one unless they fight this battle.

11. Anyone know of this ballot, that is from Pennsylvania?
I heard reports that in some area Obama wasn't on the ballot.
This looks like it came out of Philly.

34. I read there is a paper ballot, if it is requested
But I'm not in PA, so I don't have first hand knowledge.

38. would a ballot need to say "You may take this into the booth with you"?
Or have the voting hours printed on it? If it's a ballot, you're expected to taking it into the voting booth and you don't need to know the voting hours because you're about to vote. :think:

13. This, too
I don't know if it is the same reference or different.

"I just came from voting. Finally got my vote in at 49 ward, 07 division....after waiting for (the only) 2 voting machines to be repaired.

"I was able to cast my vote for Obama after waiting 1 and 1/2 hours. During that time at least 100 voters left without voting.....possibly not to return.

"I immediately called every News channel I could get through to. Persons who answered at the stations informed me that my ward was not the only one with broken machines and 'Paper ballots (as an alternative) without Obama's name on it. These provisional ballots did have Hiliary's name on them."

23. This a sample ballot distributed by local grassroots Democrats
It is from NE Philly (Brendan Boyle is running for State Rep. there).

31. Is it acceptable that a Democratic County Committee pays for it?
It's not as if it is an ordinary supporter. It's an arm of the party. What do you think, Stubbs?

32. Yes, they do it all of the time
Every year party supporters hand out sample ballots and slate cards during the primary.

33. Designed to look like official ballots
I've seen many slate cards in my time. But I don't remember any designed this way or paid for by the party in a primary.

Of course they are going to omit your opponents' names.

22. What's with getting Clinton supporters elected as Obama Delegates.
Edited on Tue Apr-22-08 01:51 PM by Skwmom
Clinton has been talking about how pledged delegates can switch their vote. I guess they are trying to make sure of it.
If true, this is B.S!
