AK ballot problem that belongs in court
From the 866-OURVOTE hotline website:

"Caller is a paid poll worker. She is concerned that early voting and absentee ballots are compromised, due to their design. Alaska ballots used to mix up the order of candidates, now they are all in alphabetical order. They are making voters fold the ballots, and because the fold is on Barack Obama's line, the machine may be spitting out the Obama votes with greater frequency than others. She complained to the person who designed the ballots to no avail. She was told it was in fact possible that Obama ballots could be rejected on that basis. She is concerned even non-Obama ballots may be rejected because of the folds. Many voters have been complaining about this. She has been calling various agencies and organizations in an effort to have someone determine whether voters who use these ballots will have their votes accurately counted."

Are there any active Alaskan Dems reading this who could explain why the state party, w/ or w/o the help of the Obama campaign, hasn't brought this issue to court? Is a suit in the works?

2. 28 Of Myriad Kinds of Republican Vote Fraud
Republican Warmonger Vote Fraud This Year and Past

---------------------------------------------------------------------


1 Disinformation about polling date, polling place, polling times...
2 blockades of polling sites by
construction equipment...
3. intimidation of minority voters by police blockades, campaign operatives
(such as Thune's intimidation of Native Americans in SD)
4...electricity shutdowns...
5. removal of names from rolls..
because middle initial is present or absent.. or because
several people in a county have the same name,.
6. shutdown of precincts for no number 2 pencils or other
equipment absence
7. deliberate understaffing and undermachining of precincts
8 failure to allow early voting
9 voting hours not long enuogh
10. only 2 states allowing electoral vote to be split by congressional district
11. an as yet unelected Supreme Court
12. media used in disinformation
(ABC on Nov 4 08 instructing Ohio voters that polls closed at 6, not 7:30)
Jacksonville Times Union telling Duval Cty African Americans in a special edition
to vote every page of the ballot
13. delay of absentee ballot mailing
14. contaminated chain of evidence...e.g. who holds the absentee ballots
15. Election Systems and Software, Diebold (now Premier), Sequoiad Pacific,
Triad and other Republican owned 'voting machine' companies which have caused
votes to flip from Dem to Rep. or not to record Dem votes at all
16. lack of a paper trail in many Southern states
17. computer code of 40,000 lines for some machines.. when 500 would suffice
18. candidates left off ballot (John Kerry left off Cincinnati absentee ballot)
19. election observers locked out (as in 2004 in Warren Ohio)
20. handicapped voter access lines jammed (as in NH by Karl Rove operatives)
21. the war economy has created homeless.. who have been denied the vote in
some states because they have no address
22. hired operatives portraying themselves as volunteers
23. neocon talk shows programming Democratic callers to answering machines
rather than on to the air
24. C Span giving 1/3 of the phone lines to a Party which represents less than 1/3
of the population
25. neocon tv having virtually no interactive shows
26. neocon radio filled with chickenhawk warjocks
27. In Alaska, voters were required to fold ballots. Obama's name was on the crease
and was not recorded in many optical scanners.
28. Alaska Republicans want the world to believe that 2008 was the lowest
ever national election vote, despite the fact that an Alaskan was running.
