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.

91. The same is happening in PA, except it's Democrats attempting to sabotage Republicans (calling people in Rep. districts telling them polling places have been moved.) Just thought you'd like to know, though since you're blatantly liberal, you won't report it.

92. It is disheartening that so many people are voting for the first time only because they want to put a black man in office. Many of these people don't even know anything about Obama, much less what he stands for. To utilize your vote just to choose a RACE rather than the person is just as corrupt as anything. And to all the black folks making threats about what will happen if Obama takes office, please.... YOU ARE GOING TO GET OBAMA KILLED. You are not helping his cause. All other races are not going to sit down while blacks make threats, and all you're going to accomplish is getting a man assassinated. If that happens, you only have yourselves to blame.

Obama is the best choice because of his VALUES not because of his race. Anyone who votes because of his race DOESN'T DESERVE THE VOTE their black ancestors fought so hard to get.

93. I think that white people are scared for a black man to win because either way they will be screwed. If he wins, there will be celebration rioting in the streets. If he looses there will be "sore looser" rioting in the streets. This has been proven with basketball, football and other championships. Unfortunately, this countries top leadership position has been turned into nothing more than a championship game between the black team and the white team.

97. Anyone stupid enough to believe that Democrats are supposed to vote on Wednesday is too stupid to be given the priviledge to vote.

Most of these people had never voted before. WHY should more machines been made available . . . they had never been needed before.

STOP WHINING people!!!!!

99. libsmakemelaf, all the major news stations are reporting on the black panthers preventing white people from voting. TMZ is a celebrity news site not a political one.

101. Doesn't it just warm your heart to know black people are voting now because a black person is running!? I guess the majority of them dont care enough for our COUNTRY to vote every other year, but as soon as there's a black man running they love their country! I wonder how those same people would feel about me rallying people to vote for McCain because I really want a white man to win?

102. Hey how about those obama volunteers from out of state who were registered to vote in Ohio? Or the obama staffer who DID VOTE TWICE in different states? or the panthers with nightsticks? or the GOP monitors being kicked out of voting stations? or ACORN? or the house of fraud that spawned Barakula himself Chicago?

103. The Florida election board is controlled by the democratic party. Why would they put only 1 voting machine at ANY location?

104. AJ - I grew up in Philadelphia and everytime I voted, from my first election to my last in that city, I was required to go before the judge because my registration had been pulled. In fact one year at my voting place more than 65% of the registrations for Republicans were pulled. If you didn't take the time to go before the judge and assert who you were you didn't get to vote.

I always love when these stories come out and everyone thinks the other guy is the only one doing it.

Welcome to America where we will steal your lawn sign regardless of your political affiliation.

105. Explain to me why it's racist to vote for a white person simply because they are white and it's racist to NOT vote for a black person simply because they are black, but it is perfectly acceptable to vote for a black person JUST BECAUSE they are black. No Resume. No Experience. No Accomplishments. No understand of how the world works. And, Definitely No understanding of how the economy works. Nothing. Go Figure. When Obama eliminates the opportunity for ALL people (except celebrities, athletes, and politicians) to work hard and become prosperous and attain their dreams, you can only blame yourselves. He told us who he is and for what he stands. I voted for the REAL American Hero. Not the fake one with the creepy smile and eloquent tongue.
