    Shades of the St. Louis polls staying open late in the 2000 during the John Ashcroft race?

    Does this include the polls in the cemeteries as well?

    The polls are open 13 hours. There is no need to extend the hours. Except, of course, to give them time to phony up enough ballots to overcome any shortfall in any of the races.

    Sounds like a union / ACORN coordinated effort. Would the bus drivers be part of SEIU perchance?

    That’s ridiculous, keeping the polls open for union boss convenience. Down you go, Panella…and your lap-dogs, too!

    I am all for this SEPTA strike. This should help compensate for the dead that seem to rise and vote every November.

    you people think there will be a short fall of Democratic voters in Philadelphia?

    Huh? You think that SEPTA goes on strike on election day (which would depress turnout) as a means to extend the voting hours to increase turnout?

    Think. Then type.

    Keeping the polls open (past the time anyone would be there to vote) allows the poll workers to add fraudulent votes to help the favored candidates to win.

    Read. Think. Then you won't have to type Skippy. Or are you Gilligan?

    With a projected 30% turnout, yes, there could be a shortfall.
