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.

76. icon ~ My dear, it sounds as though this is the first election you have ever voted in. So, is it because there is a "black" man running as is the case of most black Americans?

The 101 year old woman probably voted for the first time in her life...................What a very sad state of affairs.

77. There's only one polling booth at that particular vicinity because of historically low voter turn out at that particular vicinity. However, the Obama supporters don't have the cognitive ability to understand that. Right, TMZ?

78. if I hear one more IDIOT refer to Acorn as voter fraud. Did Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, or any of the other dumb-assed names that were faked, show up at the polls today, with photo ID, to vote?

For the people looking for the REAL story and not the republican spin that fox and righties so love to exaggerate... A group named Acorn was contracted to register voters in the inner cities. The group TRIED to employ and utilize inner city people to do the right thing and register voters. It's pretty logical why this would be in Obama's better interests, DUH! Anyway, some of these people turned out to be lazy bad workers (gee, there's another surprise. I wonder how many of the people on here complaining about Acorn are doing so from work?) and tried to fake their work results by fudging names on the lists of people they alledgedly registered to vote. That's it, just lazy individuals trying to get over. No different than if Obama hired them to clean his house and they swept all the dirt under a rug. If anything, if Obama DID pay money for this service, that would make him a VICTIM of fraud, not the perpetrator. But you know once the greasy, low-life, forked-tongue staff at Fox News got ahold of it, including old square head himself, Hannity, it was going to be spun in a whole different light. First of all, how is it voter fraud IF NOBODY VOTED?? Furthermore, how is it voter fraud, IF THE PEOPLE CAN'T VOTE BECAUSE THEY DON'T EXIST, AREN'T REALLY REGISTERED, OR HAVE ID?

Now if you want to talk fraud and bogus, besides this travesty in Fl, let's talk about that second investigation of Palin that was just miraculously released at midnight last night, clearing her of all ethics violation accusations. If anybody believes that crap is legit,I have some prime oceanfront Kansas real estate to sell you.

87. Whats really funny, people actually believe Obamas' hype...the 8 years of Bush,,all the "changes" he (Obama) will make, etc. A president is just one part of our govt. He needs the support of Congress and the Supreme Court. He can't do sh*t without them. Just like the "Bush" years...what the hell was the Congress doing during that time? How many voters realize they are voting for a slate of electors who are pledged to vote for their candidate, not the candidate him/herself. The public vote means squat. Oh well, tweet your whistles and remain ignorant, Washington loves you.

88. Well, nice to know there are people voting for Obama just because they "want to vote for a black man". I hope this 101 year old woman has voted before.. cuz otherwise its DISGUSTING that voters only turn out to vote for a black person.

Just who is making this about race? Hmmmmmmmmmm

90. Nice so what I see here are two things. The first is an old woman who is may or may not be racist but she obviously has no clue as to what the issues are and heck whay does she care? She will be kicking the can soon. The only things she seems to care about is the fact she is gettting to vote for a "BLACK MAN" those are her words not mine. Nice to know our country's president may be decided by such profound issues.

2nd. If someone is stupid enough to fall for someone telling them to vote on another day or at another location then I am not sure I want them voting for the next president of the US anyway. If they are stupid enough to fall for that then I am sure they do not understand issues or politics at all and are simply voting for reasons like the woman above. This goes for both sides. R & D.
