Poll Watchers ‘True the Vote’ Thrown Out Of Columbus, Ohio

Nov. 6, 2012 12:59pm Mytheos Holt

The anti-voter fraud organization “True the Vote” has been unceremoniously kicked to the curb in its efforts to observe the voting process in Columbus, Ohio, according to a story posted by the Washington Post:

Local volunteers with the tea party-linked organization True the Vote were rejected as poll watchers by county officials Tuesday amid questions about how the volunteer applied to monitor the polls.

Ohio law allows permits groups of at least five candidates to assign poll observers, but candidates backing the group withdrew their support when charges surfaced Monday that candidate names had been falsified or copied on forms requesting observer status, according to the Columbus Dispatch.

Catherine Engelbrecht, president of True the Vote, told the Dispatch that the rejection was “a final, desperate attempt to deny citizens their right to observe elections.”[...]

People who complained to the Franklin County Board of Elections about the group said True the Vote volunteers were told at recent training sessions to use cameras to intimidate voters when they enter the polling place, record their names on tablet computers and attempt to stop questionably qualified voters before they could get to a voting machine, the Dispatch reported.

The Dispatch story records several other irregularities in voting in the crucial swing area of the crucial swing state. True the Vote’s rejection is the second rejection of right-leaning poll watchers noted today, after Philadelphia judges initially attempted to keep GOP poll watchers out of Philadelphia polling places. This decision was later reversed.

Let’s review the four Obama years in light of these ” voter fraud ” allegations : we had ” police acting stupidly;” Fast and Furious; MIC checks at Republican rallies ; ACORN with bull-horns in bankers’ front yard; Glitter bombers; phony signs by Democrats at Tea Party rallies; union mobs in Wisconsin; recall elections ; Obama stirring class/ race with ” rich people don’t pay their fair share;” international OWS anti-capitalists invading America in DEMOCRAT controlled cities; Obama’s classic “voting is the best revenge ” rhetoric. Anyone else tired of the Marxist Chicago Ayers’ crowd . Are you tired ? Are you so tired you are ready to send them packing ?! NOBAMA 2012 NO DEMOCRATS 2012

Catherine Engelbrecht, president of True the Vote, told the Dispatch that the rejection was “a final, desperate attempt to deny citizens their right to observe elections.”[...] Somehow I think that in the current state of affairs in Ohio where you have an Attorney General who will do just about anything to restrict and limit voting, this group would only be rejected for good reason. Ohio’s governor and legislature belong to the lowest form of politicians who have surfaced in several states who have made it their mission to limit or restrict the rights of voters, primarily aimed at democratic voters. Criminal is too nice a word. Even for those put forth the BS line that they are trying to reduce voter fraud and then wink. 183 confirmed cases of voter fraud were identified in 2008, that’s less than an average of 4 per state. Clearly a problem that requires republican governors and legislatures to spend their time wiping it out. And interesting that it is only a “big” problem in the key swing states.

  Oh, brother : Here it comes folks: first Howard Dean and now from a leading Obama Troll !! Just like we have predicted for months : cries of ” stolen election ! stolen election! ” Sound familiar ? Democrats and their Lap Dog media : first, puff up the poll numbers with ” Obama’s ahead all over the place ; ” second, send in the NBBP / Democrat ” watchers” to do whatever ; third, have crazies like Howard Dean make phony allegations ( it’s like Obama’s old The Video Made Them Do it in Benghazi Routine ! Big Lies ) ; four, have your Lap Dog Lefty MSM keep repeating these phony allegations . So familiar.

It will not end with this election…….the progs will come at us every time…….they’ve shown there hand. If O wins game over, if Romney wins they’ll crawl back into the schools, colleges, unions and work from the inside till the next opportunity rears its ugly head. Only one way to stop them ……….

In truth- The only election oibama has ever won was through fraud and/or legal shenanigans. That’s how he became Senator (State and U.S.) and outright fraud/lying/misrepresenting himself to win Presidency. Today he faces the inevitable- Out with the trash.,. Disgrace and shame..

It is no longer a legal polling station and the votes are no longer “votes”. They are merely conducting a straw poll. Obama knows this and obama is guilty if these people lose their vote. This is a scam to throw the election to the courts and incite. Obama’s people are on the ground and letting their people be stripped of their vote. Anyone who stands by watching this is a willing accomplice.

  @riseandshine, Yeah really. The GOP shill pudsucking, lapdog corporatist media looked the other way during the entire primaries. Now they want a pity party or are already making excuses? I’m expecting they’ll just blame Libertarians if their liberal progressive douche bag doesn’t win.

  Um Barber, While I do HATE neoconservatives with a passion, I’m not very fond of globalist Petreaus. I’m sure your Bilderberger stooge is OK with him though. I mean wasn’t it Bush’s neoconservatives that actually had our troops sporting UN garb in the first place?

I have noticed that the ones getting thrown out of polling places so far are only GOP/R’s/Conservative.

At least the ones making headlines. This will convince the Dem’s/libs that only R’s are cheat.

  Drudge also has a report of a credentialed GOP observer being threatened by a person ‘with a badge and a gun’ when he called police they said “we will not do anything’ due to orders to not aid the GOP if any threats are made.

Ironic how you have this story followed by the statement by Howard Screaming Dean’s statement that the only way Obama loses Ohio is through voter fraud. Maybe the only way Obama wins anything is through voter fraud.

Just shows me that Democrats and Judges don’t want a fair election, they want to win at any cost.
Their winning is more important (to all in power) than the integrity of our most basic right as a citizen,
our right to vote without intimidation or fraud. Just shows how deep those arms of injustice reach.

Voting fraud and Polling place abuse needs to be a strongly enforced federal felony. Arrest anyone and any organization that violates voting laws in any way and this crap would stop.
