Weird Ballot in MA: Brown's name already filled in
By John Amato Tuesday Jan 19, 2010 12:00pm

Greg Sargent is reporting a fishy ballot turned up with the bubble next to Scott Brown's name already completed.

He's asking MA'ers to tell us if they see any more. You can bet that if it was reversed, FOX News would have non stop coverage about it---Beck would be blaming ACORN and the other networks would follow their lead.

Update: A second voter — Julia Volynskaya, a 34-year-old social worker from Brighton — is now reporting the same experience.

“I was handed a ballot and when I went to fill it out I saw that the bubble next to Brown’s name was already filled in,” Volynskaya, who voted today in Brighton. Election workers, she added, promised her they “were going to look into how this happened.”

I don't see how this could be an accident. You don't accidentally fill in blank ballots.

5. Here we go again...

Another questionable election, more shennanigans, and people in-the-know are standing
around wondering where in the hell our democracy went.

So. sick. of. this. baloney.

8. DUH--how do you THINK it happened?

Ask Max Cleland, John Kerry, just about anyone who "lost" due to "technical" glitches

9. Don't they have lawyers at the polls.

I think we should have lawyers at all polls in the future.

The poll workers need to shut down the machines. Someone needs to go to court at the first suggestion of this kind of incident.
