A Cataclysmic Fight To The Death
That’s what the President has promised if the Democrats win. But true to form they’re striking preemptively; Republican electoral misdeeds’re coming thick and fast now.
From Brad Blog:
Yesterday (11/04), about 1pm MST, I rec I rec’d a phone message from the Republican Party of NM telling me that my polling location was John Adams Middle School. My polling place is usually Longfellow Elementary about 1 block away. John Adams is about 7 1/2 miles away. In my horror and disgust I quickly deleted the message.
Thinking that maybe my polling place changed, I then called the **Republican Party** here and simply asked if they could tell me my polling place. They asked my address only, I told them, and they said, “You vote at Longfellow.” This is correct and I hung up.
About 5pm MST, the Republican Party of NM called AGAIN and left a message elling me that my election day polling place was West Mesa High School,even further away than John Adams. They gave the full address and zip code. My Caller ID shows REPUBLICAN PART.”
I DID NOT DELETE THIS MESSAGE.
Then around 7pm MST, the same thing happened. The Republican Party of NM called and left a message telling me that my election day polling place was back to John Adams Middle School. My Caller ID shows “NEW MEXICO VICT.” I did a Google search on the phone number and this entry came up:
New Mexico Republican Party :: CalendarSummary:,Contact your local county party or call the Victory Office at (505) XXX-XXXX to find out what you can do to help our 2006 Republican candidates. ?
I DID NOT DELETE THIS MESSAGE.
If you want the actual phone numbers, I can give them to you.
I’ve heard that this has been happening in other parts of the country, and I want to help get the word out that it’s happening in NM. I called TV news stations, contacted the newspapers, and progressive talk show hosts. I’m warning people to be on the lookout. Please help me spread the word.
Apparently a local judge issued an injunction against the Republican party’s doing this very quickly, by cellphone at a basketball game. A hearing was scheduled – but the Republicans claimed that the calls were ‘innocent mistakes’ and the injunction’s now been lifted.
Multiply this one instance of shady doings by the thousands of voting districts that the Republicans are trying desperately to hold on to.
This election is going to be hellacious, and what comes after even worse.
