Inaccurate sample ballots describing Republican Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. and Senate candidate Michael S. Steele as Democrats were handed out to voters in at least four polling sites in Prince George's County this morning.

The ballots were handed out by people who said they arrived by buses this morning from Pennsylvania and Delaware.

Erik Markle, one of the people handing out literature for Ehrlich, who is seeking reelection, and Steele, the current lieutenant governor who is campaigning to replace retiring Sen. Paul Sarbanes (D), said he was recruited at a homeless shelter in Philadelphia.

After a two-hour bus ride to Maryland, Markle said the workers were greeted early this morning by first lady Kendel Ehrlich, who thanked them as they were outfitted in T-shirts and hats with the logo for Ehrlich's reelection campaign. Nearly all of those recruited, Markle said, are poor and black. Workers traveled to Maryland in at least seven large buses.

Kendel was also handing out little vials of free crack and a voucher good for a free happy ending at the Snappy Hands massage parlor.

I think speaking English should be a requisite for voting.

Your ballot wasn't printed in more than one language?

One of the referendums was written in Espanol only. I think the Spanish -language phrase "Select 'Si' if you want to reconquer the Gringos" was in the boilerplate.

I got to vote with the candidate with the greatest name:

I think it was what they were doing (misrepresenting) and where they were doing it - near a polling station.

please define "near"? in california, for example, it's what, 100 feet from the door of a polling station? on the bus this morning, i saw a person waving a vote for chris daly poster "near" a polling station- course, being a daly supporter, i'm not surprised.

when i was in d.c., i remember getting fliers from tommy wells supporters asking to vote for him, also "near" a polling station.

i won't argue the point about misrepresentation (other than, like that's never happened before).

Voted at lunch in Colorado. Yes for marijuana.

Where I voted in Maryland they have signs giving saying no electioneering closer than here.

I do like that they had to go to Philly to recruit homeless African Americans. Lord knows the homeless African Americans in DC and MD would never help him out!

I have no problems with that. I take issue with them handing out sample ballots with the Republican candidates listed as Democrats.

Kentucky poll worker arrested after scuffle

FRANKFORT, Ky. (CNN) – An unnamed poll worker at a Jefferson County polling location was arrested and charged with assault Tuesday after a scuffle, according to authorities.

The poll worker allegedly choked a voter and pushed him out the door of a polling location.

Apparently, the pollworker insisted that the man vote on judicial races. He allegedly refused to vote on that protion of the ballot because of limited knowledge about those races, said Les Fugate of the Kentucky Board of Elections. (Posted 3:44 p.m.)

Part of the Steele Army

what about the Goode/Weed battle going on in Virginia?? makes me hungry!

Dems take the House…this makes the past 14 years seem like a REALLY long, bad nightmare. Time to crank up some punk rock. Fuck those asshole Republicans.

The hiring of Philadelphia pollsters is done by both parties in recent history.

Check out the documentary "Street Fight" for an example of Democrats doing it in a Newark mayoral race.

I have never been to Richmond, but it is becoming my favorite city in the US. 72% for Webb.

so it looks as if there is a real possibility that allen lost virginia


insanity

Rule change! Everyone start hopping on one foot! You can only stop after getting bonked with the Calvin Ball! :)

You bet your ass I voted. I proudly helped kick Santorum out on his ass.

You Virginians better not let us down. I'll be pissed if Allen ends up winning.
