No amount of facts or logic will ever convince a reader of Malkin.
And so we begin….anew.
Or as David Byrne says, “Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.“

Talking Heads Jack nice!
When I lived in Holyoke I was a poll watcher because the city refused to do the right thing by law and give provisional ballots to folks who showed up at the polls but weren’t on a voter list. They were to be allowed to vote, the ballot sealed in an envelope and the legal issue resolved at city hall by the registrar of voters and not a poll worker sitting in a school somewhere in Holyoke.
The federal government got involved in Holyoke and order this to happen and I testified at a hearing regarding peoples rights to vote being denied. The law is the law, so long as poll workers and watchers do this properly and for every single person in question.

“Lawrence City Clerk William Maloney said he spoke with the woman in the video, who he identified as Isabel Melendez. Melendez is a well-known figure in Lawrence and program director at the Greater Lawrence Community Action Council, Inc. and hosts a local radio program.
Maloney said Melendez told him the video was shot yesterday and the ballots she is seen holding are actually samples. Maloney added he verified the ballots in the video were marked as samples. He said Melendez is a Coakley supporter.
Maloney also said as a precaution the city issued an alert to law enforcement at polling stations to look out for copies of sample ballots, which cannot be brought within 150 feet of a precinct.”

Dollars to donuts that this video will still be used as “evidence of fraud.” Nice find, thanks Kim!
And, as reported by the conservative Herald…that’s gotta hurt!
January 19th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Well I just saw on TV that it is the Coakley campaign that’s calling this “voter fraud”…. so apparently it can swing either way! Funny that they’re already crying wolf - you know, just in case she loses.
January 19th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
Lynne,
That’s actually awesome news that there was in fact no voter fraud. I don’t like it no matter what the outcome. One man/woman one vote. Let the people decide. Fraud sucks.
I’m glad if what Kim found turns out to be true- although that’s just me.

Actually when specifically asked, they said that they were not saying that the election was being stolen - a FAR better reaction than the Michelle Malkins of the world don’t you think?

Breaking news… let the revolution begin, rule from the center!

Or pass bills with reconciliation, like Bush did. We still have both houses of Congress, you realize.
This could be a silver lining, if the Dems learn to get their shit together.
January 19th, 2010 at 9:30 pm
There is a GOD Coakley is gone next to go is Deval Patrick and his Caddy and then the jerk in the white house So Lynne have a good time eating that humble pie lol

Unfortunately, that’s a damn big if.

And you wonder why, Joe, I don’t have a high opinion of your side’s ability to be classy.
Way to be a sore winner. Really, this is how you treat people when they’re down? Lovely.

Boy Lynne do you have a very short memory How about after the recent city election when you keep dumping on Regina Kaz and Hayden after they lost oh but that was diffrent You are one one way witch lady

“Breaking news… let the revolution begin, rule from the center!”
Corey it is great that you do not have to worry about exclusions in your health plan for your child like I do! Congrats to your employer for providing such great coverage. We should all have such a good bargaining agreement.

“You are one one way witch lady”
Joe, you completely lack class.
January 20th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
First, Joe, if you were saying that to anyone but myself (as the blog’s writer) I would have deleted your comment and you’d be getting a warning.
Second, my friend, when I attack those guys, it’s on their *actions* or their own *words*, not personal. Also, fact is, they are public officials with serious ethical concerns, which are continuing to have an effect on our politics even though they are unelected.
