If true, that’s really stupid.
I have so many questions about the event that are useless to ask; I assume if those answers were known they’d have been added.
Yeah, but if she knew about it, or sent the people, whatever, blowing her slight chance, I will be so disappointed in her. WTF?
In nearly any event “stupid” is right.
Granted there are a whole host of scenarios, but I’m really asking because I’ve never seen someone actually break this particular law.
So, if anyone knows:
1) What happens to the person handing the pens out?
2) What, if any, responsibility does the candidate or issue have? OR does it only matter for the campaign if they are the ones who sent the people out?
1) Nothing &
2) None
Candidates and issue committees can break the law with impunity, as long as they have one or two rich fatcats willing to pay their fines.
And we end up with stupid laws and stupider officeholders.
Can she at least be impeached immediately if she’s elected?
She won’t be elected
Those weren’t allowed because you’re supposed to wear pants with them.
You always were a stickler for detail;-)
Otherwise you wouldn’t bother to comment.
Lawless hypocrite.
WashPo
Fenty supporters launching a write-in campaign were allowed to handout handstamps with Fenty’s name so the ballots could be stamped.
The machines are touch screens. The write-in ballots are paper and handed out. The stamp is to be applied to the paper and the finger to the screen.
But, I suppose some voters might need the extra instruction.
And I suppose another supporter looked at the stamp and tried to write in YTNEF.
Because her opponents sent out hundreds of pollwatchers with tape measures.
Walk up to your nearest polling place and it should have warning signs saying you’ve stepped with 100′ of a polling place and that electioneering is prohibited within the marked area.
I looked as I had yard signs in my back seat.
Otherwise why were you wasting them?
I have seen the 100 foot limit sign right at the door of the polling place on many occasions. It’s not accurate.
I have also seen voters chased for wearing candidate T-shirts inside the polling place (or at least made to turn their shirts inside-out). If people have a problem with electioneering inside the 100-foot limit, all they need to do is tell one of the judges. If the judges speak to the violators and they don’t stop, they’ll call the cops and let the cops handle it.
It’s kind of amazing how the Dem. and Rep. have been acting in this race. The finger pointing about who’s a spoiler, an entire mail campaign about “throwing away” a vote, and endorsements with nasty messages about the person these same groups and individuals loved a year ago.
That was before the evil paper’s endorsement and the poll that showed she had even a vague chance.
She’s in the middle of a lawsuit right now to allow votes to be counted when her name is filled in correctly, but the box isn’t checked. (Apparently it’s not a requirement in the law. Ruling to come on the fifth, iirc.)
So yeah, I could see tape measures.
but the Pols folks had to throw in the obligatory voter fraud story to get things warmed up for this evening.
Compared to the 25% plus corruption/spoilage rate of ballots in the Afghanistan elections this looks like a clean set of races.
You are seriously comparing this election with Afghanistan’s? Or are you joking?
It’s against the law to bring electioneering materials into a polling place. It’s against the law to electioneer within 100′ of a polling place. What is so “lame” about following Colorado election law, except that all the righties seem to agree with you?
We’re less corrupt than Afghanistan! Wah-HOOOOH! We rule!
but what about that ruling on WWE shirts in Ct? I was dumbfounded and amazed that the judge ruled the way they did.
Another example IMO of how commercial speeach trumps all these days. Can’t electioneer, unless it is in the free pursuit of expressing allegiance to an assinine capitalist enterprise!
