So..., Election Hinges on TURNOUT. Will Clinton Campaign resort to disenfranchisement tactics?

[berni_mccoy]

Email from the Obama campaign has some interesting statistics about the SC election:

55% of the total vote, more than twice as many votes as any other candidate
57% of voters who had never voted in a primary
66% of voters who had never voted before at all
Every type of community -- urban, suburban, and rural
58% of voters between ages 18 and 64
67% of voters between ages 18 and 29

Writing on the wall says if new voters vote and turnout is good, that Obama is going to win. I've seen it done by GOP campaigns... they try to limit turnout and get voters to stay home (it happened with the phone-jamming scam in 2000 in NH). Will Clinton's campaign resort to getting voters to stay home?

1. Will the Obama campaign resort to disenfranchisement tactics

by declaring Clinton stole the election...if she wins...like they did in NH? Just wondering.

9. It wasn't Obama supporters, it was election integrity folks who know to e-voting

machines to be inaccurate and the fact that John Silvestro and LHS had oversight of the process and memory cards.

10. And if Obama won would he have made that complaint public?

I think not! Only when it behooves them.

11. No e-voting machines are more notorious than South Carolina

They are Diebold without a paper trail. Obama exceeded "expectations" in SC by about 15 points, which is the same shift by which Hillary exceeded similar expectations in NH. New Hampshire uses a mix of voting technologies, most of which can be verified by a recount.

So why is it that so many people assumed that something could be wrong with the NH count but no one questions South Carolina. The double standards around here are staggering.

3. They're so crafty

20 years ago they aborted millions of babies - PERSONALLY, mind you! - just to depress turnout.

Surrender now - you can't beat that kind of evil.

5. ROFL! That's funny.

8. Now you're sounding just like Pat Robertson

Better stop that, before you endorse 9u11ani. Or worse yet, send yourself to Donnie McClurkin camp. :scared:

4. They pretty much have to, don't they?

I sincerely hope everyone gets their mind back before that impulse gets acted on.
