Rigged Machines in Philly???
(By Amanda Carpenter, TownHall.com) - I'm getting a tip that voting machines in Philadelphia were showing votes for Obama BEFORE the polls even opened
In the run-up to Election Day there was a nasty, partisan scuffle with the Board of Elections. Four GOP workers were removed by a liberal judge because they were "the minority party." They purged the Republicans and deprived them of the ability to supervise the voting process.
The same thing happened in the City of Brotherly Love in 2004. About 2,000 votes were preemptively tallied for Kerry. Unrelated, but equally scary, there were reports of someone using a gun to intimidate poll workers there that year as well.

From RedState:
I'm told that there are at least 6 precincts where this has occurred: in Philadelphia's 44th Ward (divisions 12 and 13), in the 12th division of the 6th Ward, and in division 28 of the 32nd Ward. Recall too, that it was reported in 2004 that someone brandished a gun to scare poll watchers in one Philadelphia precinct.
It looks like the vote fraud is starting early in the City of Brotherly Love.
Update: Eric Wang was a poll watcher in Philadelphia in 2004. Shortly after election day, he described what he saw in an op-ed on University Wire:
"I went to Philadelphia last week as part of the 'Lawyers for Bush' campaign. We went to the 'battleground state' of Pennsylvania and were caught in a battle of physical force. We had heard about the political 'ground war,' but instead found ourselves in the middle of an outright war. At the end of the day, I was cornered in a parking lot by roughly 10 large men, whom the police later identified as 'union goons.' After trying to tip over the minivan I was sharing with another attorney, punching it relentlessly, breaking parts off and failing to drag us out, they chased us in and out of the dense urban traffic in their high-powered SUVs. Only after a frantic 911 call and a police roadblock were our assailants apprehended. Even then, a growing mob surrounded us and we had to be secreted out of town to safety by a police escort. Our experience was not unique; several other 'Lawyers for Bush' teams in Philadelphia reported similar violence."
Hopefully today won't produce any similar incidents.
From the American Thinker:
If you think this is only a problem if Philly, guess again. Chicago has a long history of denying access, even physically assaulting opposition poll watchers at many precincts. The same could be said of most big city Democratic machines who seek to control the election process and guard their secrets from prying eyes.
The shenanigans in Philly, will, of course, affect the most important state race in the nation. If McCain can take Pennsylvania, all bets are off for Obama and the Republican has a more than hopeful shot at victory.
Nothing surprises us at this point when it comes to Democrats and the vote.
