Big Government asks "why is this woman handing out absentee ballots?"
If one were trying to manufacturing fraudulent votes, absentee ballots would be a great place to start. In many cases stacks of these have been turned in at one time, making it impossible to verify that an individual voter submitted each ballot.
As I said, if the Democratic machine can cheat to get Martha Coakley over the finish line, they will. A number of people on Twitter have recommended that Brown supporters video tape as many incidences of voter fraud as possible. I think that's a very good idea.

Who knows why she's got these - and no suprise that there is no video of her "handing them out"...
But those are photo copies of an Absentee ballot. Yu can clearly see that the edge perferations are not actual holes.
Only a Republican would think they could be used to actually record votes.
Wow - are you guys so full of yourself that you really think the only way Brown can lose is if "Dems cheat"?

Steve,
Welcome back. Your observations are always interesting. Like denying that Coakley's handler "handled" a reporter only to have an apolgy surface from the handler later. Also, finding nothing wrong that the underwear bomber was of Middle East descent traveling one way from Africa to the US through Europe with no luggage and paying cash. Finding nothing wrong with that when even government security agencies consider that profile a red flag. I am surprised you keep popping up here expecting your comments to be taken seriously. Democrats have honed cheating in elections to just another day on the job. Face it Steve, you have no clue.

If any of the 'normal' Democratic cheating tactics were to be deployed, they'd have had to do some planning in advance. Until a couple of weeks ago, Martha was a shoo-in. It was going to be a cakewalk. So little surprise that Ms Melendez had to run to a copier and run off some "absentee ballots". The question is, will they be accepted? Closing day for getting an absentee ballot was last week.

Daley's Chicago (dead people voting), or the Pendergast Machine in Kansas City, or Tammany Hall in New York or Frank Hague in Jersey City, Austin Murphy in Pennsylvania.

Absentee ballots are a favorite way to stuff the ballot boxes. Even if they are photocopies, they will get counted in big cities in Lawrence. If anyone asks, they ran out of "real" forms and had to give out copies. Of course the machine will also hand out lists of registered voters. What they would like to have is signatures that somewhat match the registration lists, but the big thing is to have lots of ballots with different signatures.
Coakley hasn't lost yet. Turnout is very heavy, and that usually means a Democratic win. Democrats are apparently using robocalls to tell Brown supporters that if they are registered Democrats and try to vote for Brown, they can't. If it's a close Brown win, the machine can steal it for Coakley and save the Democrat's agenda. And they will.
I've also read that there aren't going to be any exit polls. That makes it easier to cheat: there are no other number to show that Coakley lost. The assumption will be that she made a huge comeback.

I'd have to be stupid to think it ISN'T without a hell of a lot of proof, considering what the Dems did in Washington State (keep recounting until the Dem governor candidate won) and what they did in Minnesota (keep on counting, finding ballots each time until Franken won).
Steve, you incredible dunce - if this was a REPUBLICAN doing this you'd be screaming bloody murder, and I'd be yelling along with you. Voter fraud should NEVER be condoned or acceptable, no matter WHAT party does it - because we HAVE to be able to trust that the votes are honest or the trust in our representative system will be badly eroded.
That you're so quick to label it as 'not a problem, nothing to see, move along!' makes me think you know damn good and well what it is, and you figure it's perfectly acceptable as long as Coakley wins.
By the way, when you get MSNBC anchors calling for cheating, there's something really screwed up somewhere.
