Attempted Sabotage Foiled in Florida!

So, check this out. Deerfield Beach, Fla. is one hour south of Palm Beach. Nearly 400 people were planted firmly in line at 6:15 this morning, waiting for the polls to open at 7:00 AM. There is one voting machine to accommodate all of them.

The area almost entirely African American. Many of the people never have voted before. One woman was 101 years old. She was wheeled into the polling place and on her way out she said that before she died, she wanted to vote for a black man.

Election monitors noticed a man in line who appeared to be a voter. Turns out he was a saboteur, telling people the Democrats were supposed to vote at a different location.

Some of the voters said they were robocalled last night. The message -- Democrats weren't supposed to vote until Wednesday.

UPDATE -- Election officials just delivered seven more voting machines.

16. The media is so liberal. Where were you guys for the ACRON scandal? People need to educate themselves and not by websites like this or celebs.

17. Hey ICON, I'm a republican and I think it's horrible what's going on with that, but don't try to lump all repubs in one group, some of us aren't bad. Some of us actually don't agree with such tactics. You libs should be very, very careful, now Obama is threatening your bill of rights and your constitution. Know what that means? No lawyers if you get arrested, no miranda warning, police beatings to get answers. Pushing us right back to the 50's and 60's.

20. This is what is so messed up with this election. The African Americans that have never bothered to get of there lazy butts are finally voting because a black man is running. I do not think they should be allowed to vote if they blew off every other election. It's wrong. My brother in law is a police officer and the African Americans that they arrest are saying that once Obama gets in they won't be able to be arrested and they will have more rights. That right there is the reason why they shouldn't be allowed to vote - they are voting for color not for facts and policies.

21. THE OLD BLACK LADY SAID SHE CAME OUT TO VOTE FOR A BLACK MAN Y. DID YOU FORGET HES ONLY HALF BLACK. ITS A DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY THAT A BIG MAJORITY OF BLACKS ARE VOTING BY RACE AND NOT QUALIFICATIONS. ONCE AGAIN BLACKS HAVE A DOUBLE STANDARD AND ACT LIKE THEY WANT RACISM TO END BUT THE BLACKS WILL ALWAYS KEEP RACISM LIVE STRONG.

22. Not sure which I'm more disturbed by, the despicable actions of a man trying to sway an election or the fact that there's only ONE voting machine for a whole community of voters!! Both facts are mind blowing.

23. There is only one voting machine because in past elections, these people did not bother to come out to vote. And sadly, as the 101 year old woman said, most of these people are now out voting ONLY because Obama is black. Talk about racism....

25. One voting machine. Come on. Is the voting administration still run by that Katherine Harris?

26. Bull crap! Yeah sure this story is true. Based on what?? Plus we are "blessing their heart" to be voting for the first time at 101??? For what? They are ignorant idiots no matter what color they are. If they are only going to vote based on color of his skin. What a bunch of idiots. This is what we are supporting?? Look at them. They look like they are Katrina zombies. Can they even read?

28. "...These are the type of people in the GOP!! Snakes, liars, cowards..." What in Hell did I do to deserve that? Argumentum ad hominem.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you think that a man of mixed race would turn a country back 50 years???? How great do you think it was for us blacks back then??? Do you honestly think that he would have become president in the 50's and 60's??? You are no better than the man telling people that is not he correct place to vote.....you and your WHOLE PARTY (you guys are ALL one in the same lol) LIE and twist this mans words around...if there will be police beatings i hope they are reserved for the conservatives lol....i can't beleive you would even attempt to come at me with that BS!! Why don't you read a history book about the 50's and 60's and see how many BLACK people were beat and hurt at the hands of police.and were not given miranda rights or ANY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS..and then ask yourself Is Barack Obama gonna take us back to the 50's and 60's???? Another prime example of a snake republican..you trying to defend yourself and your party incriminates you even more!

30. it happens every election. It's why they call politics dirty, however if you are stupid enough to fall for Democrats vote on Wednesday or any other BS someone tries to feed you then you probably shouldn't vote anyway.
