Obama Campaign Discredits Reported Phone-Vote Offer

Border

Officials with Barack Obama’s campaign are investigating complaints that elderly people in Atlanta have been receiving calls offering to allow them to vote by phone in the Super Tuesday presidential primary.

A volunteer in the campaign’s Atlanta headquarters says the campaign learned of the problem Tuesday from listeners who called in to complain to Atlanta radio station WAOK.

Kathy Nicholas says the calls are not coming from the campaign and that campaign officials have asked the Georgia Secretary of State’s office to investigate.

Nicholas says the person purporting to be from the campaign apparently gives a number to vote by phone, which is not possible.

Maybe someone needs to find out if those calls to Seniors are coming from the Clinton headquarters!

He is starting to look very crooked to me in re: not only to this but also with gays and his stand on abortin. I think he’s got everyone tricked and he’s going to be the one with the last laugh! If Hillary does not win my vote will go elsewhere along with many others I know.

I wish people who post messages on here could spell (JDR… “abortin”, Bethany “sence”, Josh “pass” instead of past). At least some conservatives can spell.

If people are stupid enough to believe that they can vote over the phone, than I say they shouldn’t be voting at all. There’s plenty enough of morons that don’t no anything about what there doing voting already.

Perhaps not, but there was a precinct worker in Acworth Georgia this morning at 7 am this morning asking voters if they were ready to “make a change”? to voters standing in line in waiting for a voting booth to open. I found the comment highly inappropriate within a polling place such that it felt as though the poll worker was actually campaigning within the precinct — when in fact such campaigning is not allowed within 150 feet of a polling place.
