Lepore will enter absentee ballots locally.

Lepore, designer of the infamous butterfly ballot, lost reelection in a Democratic primary recently. In that primary many Democrats went to the polls and discovered their registration was changed to Republican, making them ineligible to vote in the Elections Supervisor's race. In the first count of the absentee ballots in that election 37,000 votes were counted of 31,000 cast. The recount of the absentee ballots discovered another 700 votes for Lepore, but that wasn't enough to put her over the top. Despite legal requirements that observers be present when the votes were counted Lepore refused to allow them. Naturally the Democrats have done nothing to prevent a repeat of this in the November election, which is the last Lepore will supervise.

With that context, look at what else she gets to do:


Photocopied ballots to go overseas till Nader status set

LePore said her office plans to print about 100,000 absentee ballots for the Nov. 2 general election. Versions have been designed with and without Nader's name, but getting them printed on special paper with special ink takes at least five days, LePore said.

When overseas voters return their photocopied versions, elections workers will copy them onto real ballots to be run through the county's optical scanners, LePore said.

3. LePore needs to be in jail.

Along with the so-called Democrats who refused to challenge her.

4. AAAAAAAAhThey can't get body armour but they can get those ballots

This is more than dirty tricks. With what all Bush has done, people are working so hard as I am as well. Maybe 2000 was more than we realized. Coup da Ta? If I really believed that I would leave today, the problem is, I don't see how these people walk around with such confidence and grinning and stupidity and be ever so sure they will win. If its fair, I just can't belive they will. The are not the brightest bulbs in the pack. Anything over one syllable gets lost to their fans. What is this mass hypnosis or has America been dumbed down by Useless Tv, trashy gossip but only about dems, and media pundits. How do these people's brains function> We can see through the BS, the lies,the warmongering, loss of jobs, why would 96 percent say America is going in the wrong direction and vote Bush. That was an actual poll on Lou Dobbs. God ! Why? That is insanity. Einstein said, Repeating the same action and expecting different results is insanity....welllllll ! Looks insane to me !
Bush cannot put a coherent sentence together or ride a bike but be Leader of the Free world. Kerry misprounouced a Football stadium and it got airplay for five days. Is this insane?
