Dirty tricks roundup
|
Speculation that the left wing would try to win the election by means of dirty tricks -- vote fraud, black-bag operations, etc -- have been running rampant. We've already seen quite a few examples. I'll be using this post to chronicle such instances on election day as I come across them.
- PowerLine reports that 30 vans rented by the GOP to drive voters to the polls had their tires slashed overnight. The police confirm the story.
- Drudge has reports that votes were "found on machines before the poll opened" in Philladelphia.
- Daschle v Thune is keeping track of legal developments in South Dakota, where the leader of the Democratic half of the Senate is doing poorly against the Republican challenger and prefers to go to court (in front of a judge who happens to be his close friend, no less).
- A military blogger in Chicago was (almost?) disenfranchised.
- This story has a summary of claims from both sides. The Kerry Spot has another good roundup.
- In another account of Democratic attacks on Republican vans, this account describes Democrats gone wild.
- Another roundup of fraud, with a lot of details.
- A polling place in New York has pictures of Abu Gharib and "Kingdom of Fear" written on the walls.
- White powder thrown into polling location, but it turned out to be salt. Still, it managed to close down the poll site for a while.
- PowerLine has another report of campaign violence, this one after the election. A crowd of masked man broke into the Republican campaign offices in North Carolina, spray painted vulgar messages, and burned an effigy. The police believe that the vandals attempted to place incendiary devices inside the building.
