A Ballot with Brown's name already filled in?
http://theplumline.whorunsgov.com/senate-republicans/fishy-ballot-in-cambridge/


A software engineer in Cambridge tells he was handed a fishy ballot at the polling station in a local firehouse — it already had the bubble next to Scott Brown’s name filled in. But doesn’t think it likely that it was fraud.

“Scott Brown’s bubble was already filled in,” the software engineer, Aaron Kemp, 28, tells me by phone. “I handed it back to them and asked, `Can I have a clean ballot, please?’”

If you are voting in MA today, please make sure to check your ballot

4. I'd think that trick wouldn't work on very many people.
A guy would notice that the bubble was filled in, you'd think, and go back and get a proper ballot. I know I would.

5. Well, you know how "stupid" Democratic voters are. Can't even handle a butterfly ballot.
Wasn't that the 2000 chorus?

9. The 2000 butterfly ballot was approved by Democratic leaders in FL, FYI.
Those "Democrat" controlled areas were just that, controlled by Democrats. Our party is the one who approved that ballot. Although there was a lot wrong with the 2000 election, there was no nefarious plot by Republicans with that ballot.

10. I said no such thing. I am well aware of the butterfly ballot history,
However,it was and continues to be mean-spirited Republicans that said any Democrat who didn't vote for Gore because they were confused about the ballot was an idiot.

11. We have Senator Franken from Minnesota by a margin of less than 1000 votes + 6 months of litigation

Don't think they won't use every trick in the book (again) to stick it to us one more time.
