The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into the possibility of voter intimidation in the U.S. Senate race between Sen. George Allen, a Republican, and Democratic challenger James Webb, officials told NBC News.

State officials alerted the Justice Department on Tuesday to several complaints of suspicious phone calls to voters who attempted to misdirect or confuse them about election day, Jean Jensen, Secretary of the Virginia State Board of Elections, told NBC’s David Shuster.

Jensen told NBC that she had been contacted by FBI agents. The FBI in Richmond refused to comment.


State Democratic Party counsel Jay Myerson said in a written statement issued by the Webb campaign that he believed Republicans are behind an orchestrated effort to suppress votes for the Democratic challenger.

Republican officials, including the executive director of the Virginia Republican Party, have told NBC that the GOP and Allen campaign are focused on mobilizing voters and have not discouraged anyone from voting.

In the Washington, D.C., area, NBC affiliate News4 reported on its Web site that it had received e-mail from a viewer in Virginia who said he received a phone call from so-called volunteers threatening voters with arrest if they cast ballots.

News4 reported: “The viewer's e-mail stated after he had voted, he received a call from an unknown caller who said they knew the voter was registered out of state and would be arrested if they voted today. The viewer's e-mail stated he's been registered to vote in Virginia for the last three years and has the Virginia Voter Registration card to prove it.”

The Webb campaign also said other voters are getting calls telling them their polling location has changed.



There are also allegations that fliers that say, "Skip This Election," are blanketing African-American communities, News4 reported.

Other voting problems
Meanwhile, programming errors and inexperience with electronic voting machines frustrated poll workers in hundreds of precincts early Tuesday, delaying voters in Indiana and Ohio and leaving some in Florida with little choice but use paper ballots instead.


In Cleveland, voters rolled their eyes as election workers fumbled with new touchscreen machines that they couldn’t get to start properly.

In Indiana’s Marion County, about 175 of 914 precincts turned to paper because poll workers didn’t know how to run the machines, said Marion County Clerk Doris Ann Sadler. She said it could take most of the day to fix all of the machine-related issues.

Election officials in Delaware County, Ind., planned to seek a court order to extend voting after an apparent computer error prevented voters from casting ballots in 75 precincts there. Delaware County Clerk Karen Wenger said the cards that activate the machines were programmed incorrectly.

“We are working with precincts one-by-one over the telephone to get the problem fixed,” Wenger said.

Yeah, and I live in the largest district in town here. That district is also the heaviest Republican presence in the county. There were only 2 voting booths at the district and I got there at 6:30 AM and had to wait an hour to vote.

Other districts in the county with FAR fewer residents (and heavily Democratic representative) have up to 8 voting booths.

Same ole Republican tricks..

I saw George Allen on Meet the Press a month or two ago.

He seemed like an evil, smarmy (closet) faggot.

This shit doesn't surprise me in the least.

Sure we do. Just not the simpleton dumbfuck "Christian" (hahaha) notion of it.

Be quiet, warren. Has your mommy reminded you that you have to touch the screen, instead of licking it?

Good to see that your election is shaping up to be just as laughably inept and potentially fraudulent as the last two. So what's wrong with putting an X (or, as is known in the trade, 'warren's signature') on a slip of paper and having it counted by a human being, then?

Does mvscal go away after the elections, or is he here all the time? Would be nice if he only spammed these boards during election years, so we could always have a one-year break from his shit: "Pussy, idiot, fucktwit, etc, etc"

mvscal is a Democrat 'Roboshittytake' program, designed to deter floating voters from voting Republican and being lumped in with him.

People stupid enough to buy shit like "getting arrested for voting" probably shouldn't vote. It's like asking the next Darwin Candidate to run a safety seminar.

Big Racks. Couldn't agree more.

But then the people making these calls should have their short hairs yanked out by Rosie O'Donnel.

And because he says so, it must be true.

Do you have any idea how much more voter fraud...-errr... work that requires to steal an election? And if you have to rely on meth-huffing faggots, wetbacks & jigaboos to "git-er-done", there's just too much chance something could go wrong

So we spent 3 billion dollars on electronic voting machines and now Liberal twats are crying and whimpering that electronic machines are prone to fraud and the mean old Republicans are "stealing elections".
.

By "prone to fraud" they mean " we haven't figured out how to hack into them without getting caught" and by "the mean old Republicans are stealing elections" they mean " the mean old Republicans are stealing elections back from us"

The district I live in is about 2 Republicans to each DemocRat. The usualm voting place- a Lutheran Church- has a major construction project going on, so the voting place had to be changed.

Its also usualm to have at least an hour wait to vote, so when I voted this morning I was kind of surprised that there was only about a 5 minute wait- but a lot of the people who arrived after I did were pretty pissed off and soon so were the election workers: The folks at the Lutheran church had put up a sign on the door, sending voters to the wrong fucking location. Hijinx, or coincidence? I don't believe in coincidences

Politics reduced to a sporting event. Pretty well sums up the mentality a lot of Republicans seem to have these days.

As opposed to college football, where we have a sporting event reduced to politics.

Oh, college football has its own problems, no doubt. But if you want to talk about those, there's a whole other forum with plenty of room for that.

crazy resemblance?

Who is this "we" you're talking about, pisspot? You haven't even wormed your way up to shit troll.
Right about now, the corn in my shit has more status than you.

I've so much to worry about that board status isn't even a mere afterthought. Although I'm happy you have something to live for.

Too bad we don't have a similar forum for discussing politics, huh?

True, but I didn't start this thread, nor did I attempt to hijack it.

Pa. voter charged with smashing touch-screen machine

The Associated Press

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - A man was arrested at a polling site Tuesday after election workers said he smashed an electronic voting machine with a paperweight, police said.

Michael Young, 43, of Allentown, will face charges of felony criminal mischief and tampering with voting machines, Assistant Police Chief Ronald Manescu said.

Authorities said they did not know the motive for the incident, which happened around 12:30 p.m. at the polling place inside the Good Shepherd Home.

"He came in here very peaceably and showed his ID, then he got on the machine and just snapped," volunteer Gladys Pezoldt told The Morning Call of Allentown.

Witnesses said Young then sat down and waited for police, who arrested him without incident.

The machine's screen was damaged and it was not immediately clear whether the votes recorded on the machine could be retrieved. More than 130 people had voted at the site by the time of the incident.

The machine is valued at more than $5,000, police said.

Gotta love mvscal flailing wildly. He must really be worried.

mvscal wrote:Of course he's a lib and you know it.

No I don't. How do you know? Did you talk to him?

Terry in Crapchester wrote:True, but I didn't start this thread, nor did I attempt to hijack it.

Hijacking would be about the best thing that could happen to this thread.

Lib homos are prone to emotional outbursts like that

A Righty would have just shot the machine

mvscal wrote:Do I have to?

To make statements like this? It would be a good start.

Lessee here: the cops who investigated this say they do not know why it happened, but mvscal knows why it happened? Allrighty, then.

mvscal wrote:Stupid lying fuck.

Lying? All I knew about it was the original article you posted, which specifically stated that the authorities knew nothing about his motives.

Btw, I see it took you about 1 1/2 hours to respond. Given your posting proclivities, I have no doubt you spent that entire time scouring the "internets" for related stories.

Yes, lying. You knew it was a dim.

You're either lying or illiterate. Your own link says he's a registered Independent.

Police gave no motive, but a source said Young, a registered Independent . . .

And I knew no such thing, nor did I comment one way or the other. My sole comment was directed at the fact that you were jumping to conclusions. From the first article you posted, there can be no doubt about that.

What a fucking prediction, you fucking faggot!

So, I think 'twas I that predicted a dem majority House and senate, and mvscal called me a rude name doubting my intelligence. Based on the fatcs we now know to be true, you can apoloigise whenever you like.
