What about the Republican in Oregon filling in blank ballots?

[dbackjon]

Or the untested software the Republican SOS is trying to use

[dbackjon]

Or polls in Arizona in Democratic areas not opening on time, but the ones in Republican areas all opened at 6 am sharp.

[dbackjon]

Or Kentucky losing Democratic registrations, and denying Democrats the right to vote?

I think this thread is about all Shenanigans, r, d or i. Post a link so we can read about it.

Jon, post the links. Clearly, BDK only cares about Democrat issues.

Democrats don't know how to open polling stations?

Republicans trying to scare voters in Pittsburgh


County officials received a complaint shortly before 10 a.m. Tuesday that Republicans outside a polling location on Maple Street in Homestead were stopping people outside the polls and asking for identification.

The order states: “Individuals outside the polls are prohibited from questioning, obstructing, interrogating or asking about any form of identification and/demanding any form of identification from any prospective voter.”

Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Guido A. DeAngelis, one of two judges overseeing Elections Court, issued the order and said such actions by partisans “could have a chilling effect” on voting.

Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey A. Manning, who also is overseeing the court this morning, said the only people permitted to ask for ID are the poll workers inside the voting locations.

True The Vote Forged Signatures To Get Observers At Ohio Polls - TEA PARTY REPUBLICANS
by Joseph on November 5, 2012 · 16 Comments

Yesterday we reported that True the Vote was attempting to place observers at precincts in Central Ohio, focusing on African American districts. We also noted that there might be some problems with the forms they submitted to the Franklin County Board of Elections (FCBOE).

The FCBOE met today and determined that True the Vote had likely falsified the forms submitted for general election observers. The new observer forms, filed over the past few days by True the Vote representative (and Hilliard Tea Party Member) Jan Loar, used candidate signatures copied from a previous set of forms filed in early October

All but one of the six candidates whose names appeared on the original form had withdrawn permission to use their signatures prior to the submission of today’s forms. During the BOE meeting Candidate Terri Jamison spoke up to say her name was “forged” on the latest round of forms.

The form for appointing observers reads ‘election falsification is a 5th degree felony’. Election officials have confirmed that there will be a post-election investigation of True the Vote.

.

Republican activist caught rigging votes!

By my thinking, one of the advantages of early voting is: ... you can catch them in the act before election day!

Do you believe this woman when she claims only two ballots were altered?
Would you risk five years in prison to alter two ballots?

"The impact of the alleged fraudulent voting, altering mail-in ballots to vote Republican, might resound in many races and locations, from the county courthouse, to the State Capital, to Congress in D.C. The House in Oregon was split 30-30 last session, so even control of the State Legislature enters the equation. The Congressional seat is a close contest because the district swings. This season, even the U.S. Congress could be in the balance, albeit that probability is far less. And, control of the County Commission impacts land development decisions, education, and county services. "

I can't find the link, but a Poll Volunteer in NC is accused of telling people and having them vote for Obama. He's already had the FBI called on him.

So far we have reports from Fox News, Plunderbund and Democratic Underground.

Voters in Ohio and Kansas have said that some voting machines used in early voting are changing Romney votes for Obama, two separate reports said Wednesday.

According to the Marion Star, early voter Joan Stevens tried to cast her ballot for Mitt Romney, but the machine kept defaulting to Barack Obama.

"Upon selecting 'Mitt Romney' on the electronic touch screen, Barack Obama’s name lit up," the Star reported, adding that it took Stevens three attempts before the correct vote would register.

[Wedgebuster]

An unexpected glitch almost caused one central Pennsylvania voter to cast his ballot for the wrong candidate, highlighting concerns about voter fraud on an already tense election day.

"I initially selected Obama but Romney was highlighted," writes Centralpavote on YouTube. "I assumed it was being picky so I de-selected Romney and tried Obama again, this time more carefully, and still got Romney."

Yep. That's why I specifically didn't say donk shenanigans.

Or maybe we should have 2 separate threads, one for donk shenanigans and one for conk ones.

Update:
"Judge Orders Obama Mural Covered At Northeast Philadelphia Polling Place

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Local Republicans went to court to have a judge order a mural of President Obama covered up at the Ben Franklin Elementary School polling place in the Northeast.

Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Rob Gleason released the following statement regarding the Republican Party of Pennsylvania’s successful challenge.

“The Obama campaign is 0-for-2 today in trying to get away with their disgusting attempts to suppress Republican voices in Philadelphia,” Chairman Rob Gleason said. “Whether it’s blocking Republican Election Day workers form doing their job or violating Pennsylvania law by electioneering in the polling place, it is clear the Obama campaign has taken their campaign in the gutter to manipulate this election however they can. Based on the Obama campaign’s behavior today, it certainly raises the question: what are Democrats doing in the polls that they are working so hard to shield folks from monitoring this election?”

Officials with the City Commissioners say the mural has since been covered."
