Obama Camp reporting broken voting machines in inner-city polls...

So this is how the Rendell Political Machine plans to secure a big win for Hillary Clinton.  Voters at some inner-city Philadelphia polls, in an area with new immigrants and high first time voters were met with broken machines and a 1hr+ line-up/wait.  Some voters who did stick around for the to vote said over a hundred people left before voting as they couldn't wait.  It is unknown if they will try and vote again later or decide not to bother.

Furthermore some voters are reporting that the back-up paper ballots didn't even have Barack Obama on them for crying out loud. 

Politicalgrove has a picture of a ballot - http://www.runhardmedia.com/hrc.jpg

I don't know if that's what the ballots look like though, so we'll need independant verification there.

Okay, to clarify, that isn't a ballot, but a flyer handed out to certain individuals outside of the polls to try and confuse the voter into thinking they only had the choices listed.

still, it's a flyer printed by the Democratic county Executive committee.

Rendell's political machine is well-greased.

Actually, I see similar flyers every time I vote, and that's here in Charlottesville, where Republicans need not apply. (We did briefly have one Republican on our City Council, but it didn't take.)

do you have a link for this outside of somebody's blog?
