It appears as if the Mass Dems are screwing with the election - again! I went to vote. When I got to the polling station there were 2 people in front of me and 1 behind me, checking in. The first was a male independent. The ladies at check in asked IF he was going to vote Dem or Republican. He stated Republican and they marked a big RED "R" next to his name. The second in line was another man also registered Independent. The ladies at the chick in table also asked if he was going to vote Dem or Republican. He stated dem and they just simply checked his name to vote. They did NOT flag his name. I planned on voting for Coakley and am a registered independent. Again the ladies asked me how I was going to vote. I interjected and asked why they were putting large red "R"'s next independents who choose to vote Republican. The answer I received was that the State government wanted to know which Independents voted Republican. I was angry so I deliberately took a Republican Ballot and wrote Coakley's name in. This is disturbing on several Levels: 1. There was also a ballot for Libertarians. The poll workers did not ask ANYONE in the time I was there if they wanted a Libertarian Ballot. 2. The only people being targeted/flagged were Independents voting Republican. The Lady behind me was an independent who took a Libertarian Ballot and her Name was NOT flagged. 3, Massachusetts is an Open Primary State that uses paper ballots and scanning machines. Previously they simply checked your name and told you to choose a ballot, which are laying in stacks on the table by party. They did not Flag your name for the type of ballot you took. I now have my doubts they even COUNT write - in votes. 4. The manner in which this was done struck me as an attempt as Voter Intimidation, Harassment and Suppression. 5. Will there be retribution? I will have to work a couple of days/wk as a sub teacher to pay for my Medicare starting in June 2010. Will I be blackballed? Also I am being operated on tomorrow and will need a few weeks of VNA care. Will I be able to get it? What laws are being violated? I believe there are laws stating we have voting booths so vote are confidential, as they always were until today. JBJD what do you say to this practice? Ani,

He's not a Dem that's lost their way like the rest of them. He's against the Public Option,and gets my vote for that alone. Do you really want Nancy Pelosi in charge of the country's heathcare ? I think Martha will win, but I'm ready for revolutionary leaders, that can save our country form the business as usual senators that are killing off the middle class. Martha is more of the same. I have awakened. I’m voting for Scott Brown. He’s not a Dem that’s lost their way like the rest of them.

Do you presume she is competent because she is a woman? I have already experienced firsthand that she is corrupted by personal interests. Too bad I have not completed the book I am writing that details how the state stole this child from his family first, by 'misplacing' him in the wrong home and then, when I discovered he was being abused and neglected in the wrong home, intentionally leaving him there, forever, to cover up the crime. You know I am not prone to hyperbole; this case I have mentioned before is as bad as I have portrayed. Indeed, this case taught me, there is no crime so horrific that public officials lacking moral and ethical self-restraint will not commit worse so as to conceal their initial misconduct.

That trait explains why she refused to investigate charges of child abuse and neglect I filed with her office, against her friend, a Republican attorney appointed DA by one Republican Governor and then, when he lost election to office, appointed by another Republican Governor to become the Commissioner of the state's child protection agency. Because the baby he abused and neglected was black and poor; and besides, Ms. Coakley had touted her friend's ability to turn the "troubled agency around" in a press interview just months before I caught him trying to cover up what he had done to this poor infant. She is married to a cop; evidently, they believe she is tough on crime. But I swear on the life of my beloved son, she looked the other way when the accused was her powerful friend; and the victim was a powerless baby. Yes, Martha Coakley is loyal, to a fault.

Hill still beat Obama by 15 pts in MA despite Kennedy, Kerry and Patrick endorsing Obama.
