The newspaper reports, In Allen County, 253,313 people are officially registered to vote in the election, said Barry Schust, Republican member of the Board of Voter Registration.
Now, according to a demographic study, over 240, 000 adults in Allen County are 18 years or older. Now that does not means that all these folks are eligible to vote, some may be sitting in prison, some may have moved away, some may be mental unstable, some may have died.
But, the republican representative on the Allen County Election Board stated 253,313 are officially registered to vote..now do you really believe the republican member or the United States Census Bureau?
I should hope that the folks in Fort Wayne are keeping an eye out for Obama. Indiana's polls will be closing in 15 minutes, count them numbers.
I was dumbfounded when I watched the poll workers in Maryland use computers to check off the names of voters, why is Fort Wayne still using books, to allow Republicans to vote and vote often? Read AWB tell you how the process work.
1- Indiana has limited purging of voting rolls. When I use to work the elections there was one house in our neighborhood that had the last three owners listed as possible voters. The people moved away and never TRANSFERED their voting record. They just signed up as new. So that is how you can end up with more people listed to vote then actually live in the county.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a GOP or Democrat thing. It is part of the law. I believe they have cleaned it up some but there are still tons of names on the list that have died, moved out of state, or listed with a slightly changed name.
As for Dan's finding is true but the local election board out at the site was provided a list of names of people who had already voted. They where suppose to cross the names off their books before they opened the polls. From what I have been told they found cases of names not being crossed off all over the city. Both in heavy Democrat and GOP areas. Remember polls have both parties represented. I am sure they will try to correct the problem before the next election.
I don't know what they do in other states and maybe some places here in Fort Wayne but I will tell you I worked the polls for over 15 years and I am tried of either side making stupid comments about what happens at polls. Both the Democrats and the GOP have people working the poll. They serve to help voters but also protect their own party. I have never had one problem.

ReplyDeleteI to have worked the polls...long hours. I saw how each party suppose each other in getting their folks elected. I was not impressed.
It is absolutely stupid to say that xxx number of eligible voters when names are duplicated. Allen County is the same county that eliminated the entire african american community from juror duty in Wayne Township.
Allowing the board to bloat the voters roll allow for manipulation of the voting process. I would like to see the book eliminated and the machine used. If the person name or address is wrong they will have to use a provision ballot and make a correction on their name or address.
Allen County is corrupt and has been for a long long time.

ReplyDeleteYour first part paragraph confused as to what you where saying so I am sorry I can not respond.
First of all you should get your facts assembled on the jury issue. Blacks where not excluded by race as that is not even listed in the database. What happened is entire blocks of addresses did not translate into the database. Many streets that also got missed where made up of whites also.
The courts found that the missing names/addresses contained more blacks, by percentage, then whites missed. Hence the pool was not fair.
The feds looked into the issue as anyone who did such on purpose would be subject the a civil rights violation. They even went so far as to look into who was involved in the software and data entry. They found out the coding of information was wrong and showed no patter outside of being entire blocks. In fact entire streets running mostly through white neighborhoods and in part black neibhborhoods where missed also.
As for the poll books I will stand by what I said. What blows your arguement up is at no time in recent history (20yrs) has anyone shown this problem you claim is out there has ever been brought up after a election. I have never seen where 50-100 people who came forward about not being able to vote because they where removed.
As for Allen County is corrupt I agree with you and also is Fort Wayne.

ReplyDeleteI attended the court hearing where it was proven that all the African-Americans of Wayne Township were excluded from the juror pool. And that fact alone got a new trial for the Azania.
