The McCain-Palin campaign is committed to ensuring that every qualified voter has the opportunity to vote and that all lawfully cast ballots are not cancelled out by fraudulent votes. Given that four states in the 2004 Presidential Election were decided by 1 percent or less, the McCain-Palin Campaign believes there should be a zero-tolerance policy for voter fraud and voter intimidation. Through a combination of news accounts and first-hand reports, the following cases of voter irregularities have been documented:

He did not answer questions, other people here have confirmed that another person in black panther attire was holding a night stick and apparently the concern was that they were intimidating people who were trying to go inside to vote. A republican poll observer actually called the police, the police were here and we miss[ed] them, they came and left."

I saw a CNN video in which CNN interviewed a Philadelphia black man who was "voting for change". The CNN reporter talked to him about the long lines. He said, yes, the lines were long, but he wanted to Obama to win - so he got in line again after voting once and voted twice.
I don't accept this outcome as a real legal vote. I cannot. Too much went on. I don't believe it.
Can you imagine?? People in those incredibly biased and unethical Philly areas could have had huge voting rolls from ACORN - and just let people vote again and again checking off names on the list that ACORN had planted.
This election was a fraud, imo, perpetrate by overzealous racists and communists via ACORN, imo.
That's how I"ll always view it. Look at the OH Sec of State. People in position were willing to throw the vote to get Obama elected... adn I'm sure they did so in inner cities across America.
Voting multiple times and illegal voting.
There is a CNN tape of that Philly guy where he admitted on tape he voted twice.
