And so it begins! Only Democrats refused ballots. Only after insisting were the D ballots found in a closet! A poll 'boss' is a paid employee for these purposes in Florida. I am hoping the Florida State DIV of Elections looks at this real close. Florida poll workers find Democratic ballots in closet after telling voter primary for GOP only Travis Gettys TRAVIS GETTYS 16 MAR 2016 AT 08:22 ET A Florida woman said poll workers tried to turn her away, saying the primary was for Republican voters only. Theresa Wibert said a poll worker at her Polk County precinct handed her and her husband Republican ballots and told them Democrats could not vote in Tuesdays primary, reported WFLA-TV. The boss came over and said we could vote for Republicans only, she said. I couldnt believe it. I told them I wasnt leaving It sure wasnt politically correct. A third Democratic voter was also denied a ballot at the Winter Haven precinct but was eventually allowed to vote. We would have been turned away if we werent forceful about it, Wibert said. http://www.rawstory.com/2016/03/flo...r-telling-voter-primary-for-republicans-only/
I'm seeing three people complaining out of three million primary votes cast. No doubt more people voted for Mickey Mouse than got the wrong ballot or whatever nonsense these whiners are going on about...
According to GOP theory, that equates to wide-spread fraud. So what are the Republicans going to do about this. This qualifies as election fraud and those poll workers should be be charged appropriately IF the allegations are true.
So they couldn't vote for a democrat candidate and there was no advantage to the GOP for pulling this stunt. So it was either Clinton or Sanders Claus behind this diabolical scheme.
But this the entirety of "voter fraud" that has been pushed by the right as the number one problem in politics right ? Wasn't the 2 black guys outside of a polling station in Philadelphia "intimidating voters" voter fraud ? I mean it got a full week of coverage from Hannity and Limbaugh.
Republicans should do didley squat. If Dems are upset, let them do whatever... But they won't, since Hillary won the primary.
Are you sure the absence of several of Democratic ballots at the meaningless democratic primary was the doing of Republicans?
How does this effect Republicans? Geez, do you guys blame everything on us regardless of logic? This story is so big it's on nothing but democratic websites... I don't know, even though this has no bearing on anything whatsoever, I'm going to have to call BS until we see a real news source pick it up. I guess they weren't biting over at Political Hotwire.
What voter fraud? There isn't any in this instance, but that seems to be something that liberals are trying to fabricate for no particular reason. Republicans do not benefit in any way, but Hillary would, as high turnout, the truth, and integrity seems to be her enemies...
I don't care if it was 1 in all 20 million Floridians, that should NEVER happen. Never, never, never!
But according to the left, it makes no difference either way, so Voter ID laws aren't truly suppressing anyone, right?
This isn't voter FRAUD. The voters were quite LEGAL. It IS voter suppression by a PAID 'employee' for that poll. I hope this makes it up the full chain of command.
Well if you can "only vote republican"...hmmmm That being said, all I was pointing out was the hypocrisy of the right who claims "voter fraud" as the huge problem in politics today, and then when confronted with one claim it to be meaningless because it was against the dems ?
I don't care if its dem or republican, again, its the hypocrisy. FTR: I think that "voter fraud" at the local level is the last thing we need to worry about. We shouldn't worry about someone trying to cast a fraudulent vote as much as we should focus on those counting the votes - - - Updated - - - I have no problem with Voter ID laws. What I have a problem with is they way they are written. When you allow an NRA membership card as a valid ID, and deem a College ID void for that same purpose, that's pretty obvious as to what they are trying to accomplish. And I have the same problem if it was the inverse
I still haven't seen any reason as to why it did or didn't happen. Sadly over the years liberals have proven they can't be trusted, so who knows if this isn't just another lie... If it did happen, who is to say it wasn't a simple mistake? Or are only liberal allowed to make mistakes?
So it's not related to election? Perhaps, if you hate opinions that are different than your own, you should consider a site that panders to a very limited and close-minded demographic.
Well this is a weird situation indeed. I mean how would a republican benefit at this point and time from voter suppression lol? something does not make sense. But if it turns out someone was turning away people from voting then I would be down with some capitol punishment for spitting on the constitution. I don't care who you vote for, your rights to vote are well documented and it should not be infringed in this manner.
yet those yahoos beat their chest over voter fraud and just 2 wks ago rationalized why a vet cant vote because he only had military id. shameless from rwers again.
