Obama Shenanigans: Does This Look Legal to You? Indiana Voters BEWARE! [Update]
By SusanUnPC on May 6, 2008 at 12:32 PM in Barack Obama, Indiana
VIDEO TITLE:
Is This Legal? Obama Activity in Polling Place
Is there anything his campaign won’t pull to win?
This needs to be reported to county and state election centers in Indiana. NOW.
Those signs sure look like official Obama campaign signage to me.
ALSO: VOTE FOR THIS VIDEO, and let’s get it featured on YouTube’s home page!
::::::::::
UPDATE: This is reassuring, but it doesn’t mean that the activity has stopped. From Election Journal:
Marion County Clerk, Beth White, spoke with Election Journal about this controversial video. She said,
I am aware of what happened in the polling location and we informed the precinct Election Inspector that this was prohibited activity and must not continue.
NO! That is NOT legal. In 2004 I was in Nashville, TN campaigning for Wes Clark and went to a polling site with a sign to stand out front and a policeman made me move because I was too close to the polling place. No political signs are allowed within a certain range.
This is illegal. Why am I not surprised he’s cheating?
MARION COUNTY = INDIANAPOLIS THE STATE CAPITAL
Speaking of Indianapolis, Marion County etc.,
Talk Left has their Indiana maps up for everyone’s perusal…
Check it out and familiarize yourself before John King starts in with his large sweeping arm movements on that inter-active map!
JAKE TAPPER has it over at ABC …
CNN, Greta, and now… MSNBC are taking ALL VIDEO from I-Reporters.
PLEASE pass along the word to all who are voting to take pics of any of this behavior or video, if possible. I am from Texas, and I saw plenty of illegal activity from Obamabots to last a lifetime, thank you very much. This is EXACTLY how they win at the Caucuses, always something underhanded. Question is: how did that damn sign get there in the FIRST place, and how many more of them are out there?
Hillary supporters crying about “Obama will do anything to win”?
Now I’ve seen everything.
Get back to us if he ever says a states votes should count AFTER he said they shouldn’t and the other candidate took his name off.
Or completely pandered with some stupid gas thing.
Or lied repeatedly about sniper fire.
Or a million other lies she’s told.
She is destroying the Democratic party. McCain should pick her as his running mate.
This is exactly why if, BO gets nom, many will not vote for him. It is due to fanatics like you.
It is illegal; at least in the states I have voted and worked in. As a precinct captain in Ohio it was my job to make sure no one campaigned with in, if memory serves, 50 feet of the voting booths. We had to set up flags with a sign no campaigning beyond this point. That included voters who could not even wear a lapel pin. When I campaigned for a candidate I knew you to stay behind the flag marker. Once I was directed by a police officer to even stand a few feet past the flag.
In California poll watches are to be neutral and wear no badges or post any sign for nay candidate. You may go to them to report irregularities which they are to report.
This should be reported and given wide play on TV news. I hope. This primary is getting more surreal by the day.
C-Span
North Carolina
Clinton 73%
Obama 24%
Obama has cheated throughout the entire campaign - especially in the caucuses.
The Obamanation probably forgot that Indiana is a primary and are pretending it’s another caucus.
Or, they’re just treating it like one!
I think they believe the GE is a caucus. How disappointed they will be if they get that far and don’t get to use the bullying tactics that worked so well for them. I doubt the republicans would be so nice about Obama tables set up inside the polling places.
Maybe it’s that whole left brain right brain thing….
Total snark y’all.
Left brain is oriented toward language; right brain is oriented toward spatial, relational, conceptual. No. I see no left brain-right thing here, unless you are proposing that there was a hemispherectomy.
I believe the previous post was refering to Rev. Wright’s theory that African Americans learn with their left brain and European whites learn with their right brain.
It is quite amazing that the MSM did not report more on this dangerous statement from Wright. That is the same logic that has led to genocide throughout history and Barack was getting a healthy dose of it for 20 years. Even though it seems his wifey ingested more of the hate than BHO, it still can not be a good thing that a possible President of the USA was in an environment for 20 years which preached that different races have an inherent genetic and nuerological makeup which defines them.
Rev. Wright would be right at home chatting with Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and members of the Rwandan death squads.
You are correct Joe….It is the Phony Science of EUGENICS…..

And yes, it is illegal.

BINGO…..AND YOU WIN A STUFFED ARMADILLO…..thanks…..JOE
No matter what happens, Obama is not a legitmate nominee.
It’s sad that he knows he can’t win so he sets up the polling places to cheat. My main concern now is that he is asking for time extension on keeping the polls open. That’s always when he wins. Closing the polls at their regularly scheduled time is best. Obviously he does another method of cheating when the polls stay open later. Who knows what it is?
I say no. Close the polls when they are supposed to close.
Cross over ballots are now being investigated and contested. I have bitter distaste for Barack Hussein Obama.
He is NOT what America needs. He is as crooked as they come. There isn’t an honest bone in his body and he calls himself a Christian? Is anyone else sick of his silliness?
He makes me sick.
Obama can’t win? The guy who is winning can’t win and will still be winning regardless of the outcome today can’t win?
I am going to draw a picture for you:
here is reality —————————————————————————> O
O <———————————————————————-This is you.
And this is Jason’s brain on koolaid.
You weren’t clever enough to draw a picture were you?
I mean would it really have been that hard to at least put in a link like this?
http://mccs1977.com/Images/Politics/Kool-AidMan.jpg
I think she was referring to NOVEMBER — you know the GENERAL ELECTION — when everyone votes … the people in Michigan, the people in Florida, the republicans and all of those people with buyer’s remorse who decide that a write in for Clinton or a vote for McCain looks a hell of a lot better than a vote for Barky Obama.
I’ve said this a number of times before, feel free to cut off your nose to spite your face.
You can also continue to ignore the fact that the polls show otherwise.
And next time include a picture.
You sound really angry … bitter? Why?
Isn’t Obama already the nominee?
May I see those national polls?
Please post a link to a non KOS or HUFFPOOP source as I don’t want them to benefit by my going there.
Show. me. the. polling.
Easy enough
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/05/980557.aspx
Both candidates are up - one by 11 the other by 12.
Here is the actual press release:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/docs/MAY08A-Politics.pdf
I asked for a poll, not an MSM fluffer piece …
try reading one of these sweet knees …
Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama’s standing has been significantly damaged by the controversy over his former pastor, according to USA Today/Gallup poll published on Monday.
The poll showed Hillary Clinton leading Obama 51 percent to 44 percent nationally among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independent voters, in contrast to a CBS News/New York Times survey released on Sunday that had Obama leading Clinton by 12 points.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/05/AR2008050500815.html
I know you are really slow but the link to the actual poll in its entirety is at the bottom of my post.
But I guess if you can’t read the entire post you probably won’t read the attachment either.
Your poll was among a limited group and compared only Obama and Hillary.
My poll compared Obama and McCain, WHICH IS WHAT YOU REQUESTED and included the entire realm of likely voters.
As you like to point out, its not just democrats who vote in national elections.
Obama is damaged goods, Jas, you’re now the equivalent of the guy selling a used beater in the second hand car lot, the ones the dealers send trade ins to when even they don’t want them.
Had a black jeep like that, hit 100,000 miles, the wiring just fell.
Bad day, huh, something gonna drop?
So what does that make Hillary? A bicycle with no seat and no tires?
Sorry about your jeep, at least once HRC/MCCain get the gas tax removed you’ll get to pay MORE for gas.
And, this is what he wants to do at the National Convention — ramrod his way through to the nomination. And, as I just read in the Chicago Tribune today — make Hillary bow out gracefully like a statesman, and work her heart out for him. If not — more threats of blacks and youth leaving the Party.
let them leave … I’ll hold the door as long as it takes until the last one leaves. No problem. Days and days. I don’t need sleep.
Why does he want to keep the polls open longer? is it snowing in IN? Come on. Enough is enough.
Here in Florida, you’re not allowed to have ANY campaign literature inside the polling place. I’m not sure about Indiana law.
Also (at least when I ran for local office a couple of years ago), people with signs or literature couldn’t stand within 50 feet (or was it yards?) of the polling place entrance.
There in Florida, Barky doesn’t care if you EVER vote ….
That is 100 PERCENT illegal. Where is this at? I will contact the Representative from that area immediately!
Marion County is the Capitial Of Indiana…INDIANAPOLIS…..
Gary In. and Indanapolis are the major cites in the state with significant AA populations….
THIS ILLEGAL AND IT IS CAUGHT ON VIDEO…..
IT IS HAPPENING IN THE CAPITAL OF THE STATE…..
Also might send a copy of the video of the polling place to Lou Dobbs, Joe Scarborough, Greta and Sean. This is patently illegal and should be stopped immediately.
Done.
I assume they are all over the counties. The pre-printed Obama campaign sign is the blatant indicator that they have volunteers in every polling place. ‘Ya think?
Hopefully the people videotaping found an official had them removed. You cannot have people inside the polling place set up like that unless they are official poll workers, AND are not affiliated with any campaign. The fact that it’s a professionally produced sign tells me it’s going on all over.
he can’t win on his own merits, so he has to cheat, lie, attack, and race-bait. Where is the victory in that? Why would AAs want the first black president if he has to cheat lie and steal to get in?
This ( or worse ) is most likely happening in GARY IN. as well it is right outside of Chicago…..
The Chicago reporters seem to HATE Obama, they have his number.
Remember, the people of IL are already suffering due to Obama’s, and the IL combine’s, corruption.
I would think they’d LOVE a story like this…
Lest we forget
“BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY”.
In populations with large AA’s this could be seen as voter intimidation.
Indianapolis and Gary are where there are significant AA populations….
WC art,
Voter intimidation is Barkys whole campaign.
BTW what field of art are you in?
For a living I do Murals and decorative finishes in Highend Commercial and residential….Some Municipal….
My ” Real ” art is political with a bite of absurdity….Laugh or Scream in these trying times…..I prefer my political commentary in the biting english/american tradition…..
Me, too.
And having said that, isn’t Dick Cheney a genius?
Most people don’t get it.
He is the perfect British stereotype….of us……chuckle…..
he can’t win on his own merits, so he has to cheat, lie, attack, and race-bait.
Exactly.
Where is the victory in that?
His idea of victory is different from ours. Ours involves ethics and integrity.
Why would AAs want the first black president if he has to cheat lie and steal to get in?
I doubt most know that is happening. If they did, I daresay they would not support him. He’s doing a good job of hiding it and appearing “above the fray” to all but the wonkiest.
The AA community no more than drones, here, voting for a man who exploits them.
What a shame.
What is really amazing is that the officials at this precinct allowed it in the first place. Makes me wonder what else they may allow. Hopefully other precincts will be checked to assure this is not being repeated elsewhere.
Yep, that’s an official Obama sign. Looks illegal to me.
LOL, hey I wonder if that no smoking sign includes taking big tokes off the hope bong?
Hahahahaha! Very good!
Incredible! Anything mentioning a candidate is not supposed to be inside any election building. I am shocked that the election workers haven’t told them to take that sign out of the building.
Indianapolis is the Capital of Indiana….( Marion County )….This should cause a BIG STINK…..
And add to that Obama volunteers “helping” voters.
Mark K. Sullivan is the Marion County Election Board Chairman….
Larry: It doesn’t seem to matter what the Obama campaign does. Everyone gives them immunity to any law or rules. Did you know that the DNC has given Indiana and North Carolina more delegates because they held their primaries in May (just posted on AOL). Of course North Carolina was given more delegates because they expect him to win there so he’ll attain more delegates. Here is part of the article:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Good things such as Democratic delegates come to those who wait.
North Carolina, which holds its primary Tuesday, got an additional 24 delegates for moving its presidential nominating contest from April to May. Indiana, which also has its primary Tuesday, got six extra delegates for keeping its primary in May. North Carolina has 115 pledged delegates at stake, Indiana has 72.
If only Florida and Michigan had the same foresight.
“In retrospect it was the right decision to make,” North Carolina Democratic Chairman Jerry Meek said Monday of the choice made months ago. But, he added, “I don’t think anybody anticipated the presidential primary would be competitive.”
The DNC has done everything in its power to be sure Obama gets the nomination. They seem so hellbent on capturing the AA vote, that they’re disenfranchising everyone else. Hey.. why not just treat all voters and all states equally?
All the DNC had to do to stop the flow of AA voters to the republicans, was to offer up a good candidate that speaks to their everyday struggles. Doesn’t matter what color their skins is… but that would far too practical.
There is going to be such a shitstorm if he is the nominee. Bigger than the shitstorm we’re going through now. That shitstorm will make this shitstorm look like…oh, God, never mind, this is getting gross!
PA was also the same way. I had seen an article earlier on this. The later primaries were going to get “rewarded”. Hey! If it applies to KY and WV then that will help Clinton!
And Obama supporters say Hillary will do anything to win. I’m so sick about this
It’s mere PROJECTING, REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY, and psycobabble. Everything Obama is guilty of he accuses Hillary of. I have been saying this since January. I said if you want to knwo what Obama is up to, just listen to what he blames Hillary for.
His projecting is rampant. He has is minions parroting it because he centers his stump speech around Hillary and not the issues.
Cam anyone do something? America doesn’t want him. Why are they letting him get away with cheating? He has wrecked the trust of millions of Americans.
What else can we do? It’s like watching a train wreck ahead of time and being unable to stop it: the DNC heads decided on Obama and they are doing everything in their power to help him out; together with the majority of the fourth estate….It’s
really incredible they care so little about the future of this country.
It is blatantly illegal. At least from my understanding of the law. I don’t even think that voters are allowed to wear clothing promoting their candidate of choice in the polling place. I know for a fact that workers inside a polling place are not allowed to promote one candidate or another.
That’s true. I showed up at my polling place with a Wes Clark t-shirt on and Clark buttons all over my coat and they made me remove my buttons and button up my coat. No candidate support allowed on anyone.
Hi, I just looked up the clerk - Elizabeth L. White -in Marion County, Indianapolis, IN - who is listed at the beginning of the video tape. The county offices are closed today! Can u believe it?!
I do not have Long Distance Phone Service…..If I did I would contact the Office of Govenor and the State Attorney Generals Office….Also the Local News in Indianapolis…..
WKLR is a big Radio Station in Indianapolis….
WKLR IS NOW WIBC
Apparently there are also a lot of Republicans crossing over (it’s an open primary)and picking who they’d like Mccain to run against.

My mom was told to remove her Hillary button when she went to vote this morning. So I see it is Ok that Obama’s campaign can have signs, but voters who have nothing to do with the campaign are forced to remove their Hillary buttons? That certainly doesn’t sound legal.
Yes but there’s a reason for that. Hillary is white so she’s not entitled to anything. And she may be related to a lot of famous people but she’s not related to MICHELLE OBAMA so she’s simply not entitled and in a true democracy that means you have to take off your Hill buttons.
I am shocked, SHOCKED that the followers of a coward who has lied about virtually EVERY aspect of his personnol, spiritual and political life would do something ILLEGAL in trying to rip off another primary! SHOCKED I tell you!
Yeah well haha, point taken - but it has to be stopped. The man - and all those scurvy Axelrods hanging about - have to be taken out of the campaign. Put behind bars is one good way. Whatever: it has to stop. It isn’t enough to talk about it anymore. Somehow it must stop now. Agreed?
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
- Thomas Jefferson
“Agreed?”
No.
Well, you’re here. This must make you proud to support the Obama campaign?! Win at all costs?
Don’t be too sure those NEW supers will be going for Obiwan in NC.
Even I got an invitation to become a delegate to the convention and I would have taken them up on it if I wasn’t disabled.
But I know Hill supporters all got the offer. I know some took up the offer as well so……. don’t count the HILLside vote in NC out yet!!
I emailed the GOP HQ in Marion County.
I salute you Hill Girl…If I had long distance I would be calling the Govenor.
Evan Bayhs office should be notified….
you can report this here
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/action/pollingproblems/
Yes but only people from IN and NC. The rest of us aren’t allowed to alert them to what we’ve found out. Nice bureaucracy again.
That little set up would be Very Very illegal in Massachusetts. One must be yards and yards away from polling place…Oh yeah that is yads and yads away according to Rev. Wright..Barry is a cheat…along with all his other attributes.
Call the DNC TOLL-FREE–They Are Taking Comments…Here’s What I Told Them…
http://insightanalytical.wordpress.com/
The toll-free number at the end of the blog post WORKS! You get a live person…
In my opinion, the DNC isn’t going to do anything that doesn’t help Obama. They would probably just tip him off. Apparently the video has been already sent to FOX.
THAT WOULD BE A BIG MISTAKE….FOR THE DNC….THE VIDEO IS LIVE…
IT EMBARRASSES BOTH PARTIES….STATE CAPITAL….NO ?
Howie said they will seat the Fl. & MI. delegates AFTER they have a nominee…oh my christ. Why bother?
Thankyou….I reported it and directed her to NQ website….She was viewing the footage as we spoke…
Toll Free # 1-877-7200…..
I told her I was from Texas and used to live in Indianapolis….
I told her it was the DNC responsibility to insure fair primaries…
I told her to make sure to check Gary as well…
I told her that as a lifetime Democratic Voter that this primary season and the OBVIOUS VOTER FRAUD AND HOWARD DEANS RELUCTANCE TO HANDLE IT WAS CRIMINAL…..
Sorry Toll Free # 1-877-336-7200 = DNC live person….
She DNC person admitted on the phone that what she saw on NQ footage was illegal and a violation of election laws…..
I spoke to Lisa Burgess and she viewed the NQ footage while I was on the phone. She told me she would inform the Chairman Immediately…..Just so’s you folks know…..Thanks Gloria for the info….and you wrote a nice post…..
No it is not legal. The people running the show there should not have let her set up in the first place. And what a scum bag she won’t even identify herself. And the intimation is she was sent by Obama people.
Now I hit Caps Lock.
I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF OBAMA AND ALL THOSE PEOPLE. THEY ARE THE ANATHEMA OF THE EARTH. PLEASE MAKE THEM GO AWAY.
Thank you. That feels better.
I’m ready to march in the streets to get this guy off TV and out of government and our lives..GAG me. I can’t wait until I never have to hear about him again.
Someone unseat him from the senate please?
CALL every media outlet you know of — E-MAIL them all.
This cannot remain on the blogs. This needs to go to the MSM, and now.
