    It looks like both sides are intimidating each other. I just sit back and laugh.

    I don't know, but it is usually customary to ask people on a forum for evidence after they have posted something on the topic.

    Just posting something like "democrats are liars, give me evidence they are not" is asinine.

    christ, must you always be so difficult?

    It has been mentioned all over every major News network, and i've never heard absolutely zero explanation of what voter intimidation is.

    around here many people are getting calls with false information that their voting location has been changed, so the voting league is sending out cards that tell you where to go for the first time ever,

    I'm not sure who's behind it, but it is happening a lot.

    What is happening is that people going to the polls early are being intimidated by other voters because that particular person is not voting for their candidate. People are asking other people who they're voting for, and if it's not that person's candidate, that person will usually start intimidating the other person and start harassing them, often right at the polls.

    It's really retarded, for lack of a better word. No side is innocent in this, though it seems like the Democrats are acting more viciously in an attempt to get people not to vote for Bush. One Bush supporter even had his arm broken by a Kerry supporter.

    So much for Democracy, I guess.

    There was footage on the news the other night of two older men fighting, with their hands around each others throats at a polling site. I found this to be quite humorous.

    It's actually really fucking ridiculous, though. But, of course the mainstream media likes to hype stuff like this, too, making it seem more prevalent than it really is. Of course the media can't discuss to REAL issues, so they resort to crap like this.

    I heard something the other day that just pissed me the hell off...found the article about it online. The whole article is here, and actually the whole thing pisses me off, but this part really makes me want to kick someone for being so cruel:

    They say it's probably someone trying to discredit the Kerry campaign...but either way, that's a fucking low thing to do.

    Did ya'll see the news today? 58,000 absentee ballots in heavily Democratic Dade County Fla came up missing. The ballots never got the the people. If thats not suspicious I don't what is. The Diebold e-voting machines are already rigged. Diebolds CEO said he was "Dedicated to delivering Ohio's votes for President Bush". Although Diebold is based in Ohio an Ohio state judge disquailified the machines from being used in the election. All the bigwigs in the Diebold Company are bigtime GOP contributers.

    I read about that, it's so unbelievablely wrong.

    I'm not going to say anything to anyone when I vote, I think that's wrong, If you haven't convinced voters by the time they vote, then just forget it.
