Revealed: How Team Romney is Training Poll Watchers to Steal the Election

As we edge closer to the election, the Republican plan for victory is becoming much more evident. Republicans plan to win this election the good old fashioned way: fraud.

Last Thursday The Tennessean reported  that one Tennessee precinct plans to challenge voting rights based on how well a potential voter speaks English. Now ThinkProgress is reporting that it has obtained documents from a Romney poll watcher training in Wisconsin which contains false information about voters rights:

One blatant falsehood occurs on page 10 of the training packet, which informed poll watchers that any “person [who] has been convicted of treason, a felony, or bribery” isn’t eligible to vote. This is not true. Once a Wisconsin voter who has been convicted of a felony completes his or her sentence, that person is once again eligible to vote. The training also encouraged volunteers to deceive election workers and the public about who they were associated with.

The Romney campaign workers were specifically advised to hide their association with the campaign and sign in at polls as “concerned citizens.” So the Romney campaign’s plan is to infiltrate the polls, and suppress the Democratic vote once inside. This could wreak havoc on election day because not only will eligible voters be turned away from the polls, but it could also result in long lines and frustration.

The Romney training packet includes a series of lies, the second most blatant of which is the assertion that poll workers can’t assist voters. That’s just not true.

Do yourself a favor before election day. Review the law in your state for yourself and with elderly and new voters who might be easily swayed or misled on election day.

      Willard Mitt Romney is one of the biggest oil investing polluters on the planet. He is right in our faces on TV, radio and in ads on the Internet, etc. – telling you who he is…and what he will do. There is NOTHING SECRET about him. He has already shipped thousands of jobs overseas…hid his tax records folks don’t know what other corrupt things he has done…and put forth a budget to cut off workers benefits, services to elderly, children, students and the poor.

      He also has contributed to WRECKING THE ECOLOGY of this planet because he supports and invests in dirty fuels. He told us this in our faces. NOT A SECRET CONSPIRACY.

      caused by

      The wild weather….monster hurricanes, fires, droughts, tornadoes…and other devastating weather is caused by the excess burning of fossil fuels…the destruction of the rainforests, and acts that have polluted the oceans and killed off the coral reefs and wildlife.

    I been saying this for a minute now… Romney is going to win the election..

    I been wondering why his camp keeps saying they are ahead in the polls… Well? this is why they believe they will win. Between

    the voting machines

    the lies told by Romney poll watchers, and

    the billboards that are purposely confusing folks (in order to get them to stay home)… Also you have

    the pamphlets that have english on one side/spanish on another (telling latinos to vote on November 8 instead of 6)

    The Romney camp is factoring in all the efforts to suppress the the vote… those numbers have them winning, and with a very close election they may be right

    Sad to say, but I think we are about to see what this voting process is really worth.

    The storm during the GOP convention was God’s way of saying no to Romney but as usual no one was listening. 2012 marks the return to the tricks that worked (election fraud, lying campaign workers and malfunctioning machines). I was at ground zero— FL during the Bush shenanigans.

    It is not just about knowing the law before you show up, it’s deciding how you plan to address the issue and vote when it happens to you.

    Now I must get back to fine honing my survival skills for the coming Hunger Games arena…

    I would like to know the reason no one has ever questioned Romney, similar to Obama concerning Reverend Wright, as to how he was willing and able to serve as a minister for decades in a religious sect that perceives Blacks as subhumans. The alleged acceptance of Blacks in that sect in 1978 transpired only because of pressure from the Federal government and pending lawsuits. In other words, the acceptance was involuntary and unreal. Thus, I am convinced that the White members of that sect still perceive Blacks as sub humans.
