Why is the poll watcher OK showing the world his name, but made sure to black out the ward location on the certificate? And why is there a ward location line on a certificate that doesn't limit a poll watcher to a single ward?

Maybe because there are more than one Gary Feldman's in Philly, but only one residing at ____________ and issued a Poll Watching Certificate by ______________ Ward. (The "ward location line" identifies which ward issued the certificate, but doesn't limit where the watcher may observe.)

The Certificate clearly states he is authorized to observe at any polling place in the city.

Even if we assume the word "by" is the word that was cut out of the right side of the picture, that doesn't explain why the ward portion is blacked out. Why hide it?

Ah yes, always quite the spectacle on election day.

Let us all pretend that each political party stands for a fundamental/core set of ideology and philosophy. Let us take opposing sides and classify/judge each other on the side they have chosen. Let us get behind an individual we never knew, and pretend they represent the best interest of the populace according to our own "rigid" world view.

If your goal for government is true representation of a populace, let us turn over the government seats! Return the role of government to be a public service, not a career! Strip the away the facade of 'R' and 'D'! Use your vote today to remove the incumbents, and let us begin a new approach that has never been tried.

Mark Hamill narrates Lincoln Project ad hitting Trump over military ballots
https://thehill.com/homenews/campai...roject-ad-hitting-trump-over-military-ballots
“If he gets his way, many who cast absentee ballots will not have their vote counted,” Hamill says. “This will deny thousands of troops serving overseas of their most sacred right, stripping the men and women in our military the very freedoms they’ve served and sacrificed to defend.”

“It cannot be allowed to happen,” he adds.
"I think it's a terrible thing when people or states are allowed to tabulate ballots for a long period of time after the election is over," Trump said. "I think it's terrible when we can't know the results of an election the night of the election in a modern-day age of computers."

https://thehill.com/homenews/admini...-prematurely-declare-victory-signals-election
President Trump on Sunday denied that he would declare premature victory in the election but signaled that Republicans would mount legal challenges to prevent ballots from being counted after Election Day.

"We're going to go in the night of — as soon as the election is over — we're going in with our lawyers," Trump said, mentioning the state of Pennsylvania specifically.

Because if the name of the poll watcher is known, and the ward that issued the certificate is known, then he could be easily doxxed? That's just a sensible hunch. What difference, at this point, does it make?? He is authorized to observe at any polling place in the city, and got turned away.

Here's an older copy of the same certificate:
Failed to fetch tweet https://twitter.com/BrookerTJustice/status/1323658410609369089
The wording clearly states "appointed as a watcher IN the _______ ward," which means the certificates themselves can be assigned to any ward in the city, but only to be used at the ward specified on the ward line.

This also explains why both the word "IN" and the ward line were cut\blacked out. I knew something was up and I was right. ;)

It doesn't make any sense to issue city-wide poll watchers in the first place, as you'll end up with 50 watchers showing up at one location with 0 at other locations, which is the reason why they're assigned on a ward to ward basis.

This is in case there are negative responses to Trump attempting to literally steal the election. Please get your facts straight.

Well, it's election day! Many of you have probably noticed the delay in USPS mail this entire year and that's due to this stupid non-deadly Chinese Wuhan Corona Virus. It was bad before election time and now due to the fact people are unrealistically scared to leave their houses there's tens of millions of ballots being mailed in. It sorta sucks that we have some States that have ruled they can accept ballots for 6 days after today so I'm not sure how that will effect the results. I've personally been waiting on something that was mailed two Friday's ago so I'm not that hopeful for speedy results, which really sucks as these same people who are voting have no issues waiting in line at the stores they visit.

Oh well, it is what it is. Hopefully there's no wide spread voter fraud and hopefully Biden goes back on his word and doesn't contest the election results simply because he lost, which is something he claimed he would do and has already formed a legal team with over 600 lawyers to challenge the election even if there's no proof there's any voter fraud. Premeditated attacks should be no surprise to anyone as the Liberals planned on impeaching Trump before he even took office for no reason other than the fact they lost the election. They are sorry losers so it wouldn't surprise me if Trump wins that Biden will refuse to accept the results. I also hope there's no wide spread cheating so Trump won't have to contest the results either.

Unlike these liberals and conservatives that can't seem to respect the Presidents as of late, if Biden wins I will respect him because he'll be the President of the United States and that's a position that has earned all sorts of respect. I will gladly call whomever wins my President and will wish them the best of luck. I know this is something bias children can't understand, but I was taught in school how to think and wasn't simply instructed what to think. It sucks you kids got a bad education in that regard, but maybe one day you'll grow up and stop being so petty.



By now you should expect anything the left is reporting to be not even remotely correct. Their tactic is to take something and twist it up into something that happened while bashing Trump and their audience is too stupid to realize they're being manipulated and lied to.



Indeed and this is why I like Trump. Trump isn't playing their silly games because he's not a politician. The economy is doing so well even in these trying times because Trump understands business, though I admit his foreign policy isn't ideal, but then there's the mid east peace deals.



God bless you. I hope Trump does win again. You're also right about Satan and his disciples. If you haven't accepted God into your heart and live a life of sin you're going to be miserable for the duration of your short time on this earth. The bad part is that these miserable liberals aren't happy unless they are telling other people how to think or what to do and that only provides them with a momentary respite from the way they feel. If you take away the drugs they're consuming they are full of content and jealousy. Liberals embrace the deadly sins so it's no surprise they are miserable beings.



From what I gather some States are allowing mail in ballots to be counted up to 6 days after today. So I'm not sure we're going to have immediate results of who won tonight. It's pathetic that we're a free country yet most of the citizens are scared to leave their houses and go stand in line at a poll when they can stand in line at a grocery store all over a virus with a 99.8% survival rate.



You probably didn't know this, but Trump changed his position on this matter and also his original position wasn't clearly reported by the leftist media as they twisted not only what Trump said, but what he meant. Trump has been willing to sign a new stimulus bill all of this time including today if the Democrats in Congress will present one that doesn't contain all sorts of shit unrelated to the Chinese Wuhan Corona Virus.



You have some valid insights into what's going on over here. I agree with most of what you said and your observations about the Liberal hypocrisy is spot on, but I disagree with your stance on the military as our military isn't policing our citizens. Liberals are mostly too stupid to even realize how hypocritical they are being or they just like to lie and don't care and think that everyone else around them are stupid and they can manipulate they way out of anything. Liberals embrace lies. I also disagree somewhat on your observations about rich people. Rich people provide jobs for the rest of us and without them and their companies there would be no jobs to speak of. I do agree that some of them are basically untouchable and get away with crime, but at least arresting Epstien was a move in the right direction. Rich people should be held accountable for their actions just like any normal citizen is and that also goes for elected officials. You're also right about Biden as he's a normal life time politician that's all talk and no action. I just really hope he doesn't win because he's giving a voice to socialists that want to go backwards and time and ruin our way of life for something that has always failed. Liberals also support Muslims, but have no idea why they are supporting them or know much about the Muslim culture. Maybe the LGBTQ community should provide trips to Muslim countries so they citizens can throw them off of 4 story buildings simply being who they are.



The Liberals embrace sins and that includes crime. Liberals don't see anything wrong with doing dangerous drugs, beating women or resisting arrest. They support the lawless and embrace crime. They are not good people so why would it bother them if some women beating drug addicted criminal lives his life the way he does.

Mail has been slow do to a concerted effort by Trump and the Republicans to hinder mail-in voting. Please get your facts straight.

Pennsylvania law allows the candidate to appoint two watchers per district/ward, this is how the number of watchers is kept proportional. But where the watchers go is clearly not limited to that district/ward, or the certificate would say so. Instead the certificate explicitly states. in large print at the top, they can observe at any polling place in the city. If you have to depend on an inference to get the meaning you want, you're reaching.

If it can be used at any ward, then please explain why this line is on the older certificate:
"appointed as a watcher IN the _______ ward"
That line clearly states that it can only be used in the appointed ward. You originally misinterpreted the certificate saying, "issued a Poll Watching Certificate by ______________ Ward," here:
Maybe because there are more than one Gary Feldman's in Philly, but only one residing at ____________ and issued a Poll Watching Certificate by ______________ Ward. (The "ward location line" identifies which ward issued the certificate, but doesn't limit where the watcher may observe.)

If you're appointed as a "watcher IN the ______ ward," how in the world does that allow you to visit other wards? That makes no sense because the certificate explicitly appoints the watcher to a specific ward.

I'll tell you what does make sense though -- cropping the word "IN" out of the picture and blacking out the ward line to dupe people into believing he was unfairly denied access. I'm still trying to work out whether you fell for it, or if you're complicit in spreading this fake news story. So far it seems like the latter.

Trump Can Still Win, But The Polls Would Have To Be Off By Way More Than In 2016
https://fivethirtyeight.com/feature...ould-have-to-be-off-by-way-more-than-in-2016/

Of course Trump could still win and by now we should all realize how unreliable polls are to begin with.

Here's a good overview of why we probably won't have the election results tonight.

At this point, I just want Trump to get voted out. I know that won't stop Trump supporters from continuing to be the worst kinds of people but at least they won't have the clown in office anymore.

It seems the media's programming worked on you.
Is that really what you believe? That someone who doesn't like Trump and his cult of personality are "programmed by the media?" That it couldn't possibly be some actual other reasons to dislike like Trump and his following?

Another case of TDS! Almost seems more contagious than covid! Fancy that. It is actually the Biden supporting-rioters that are the "worst kinds of people" as you put it. How many Trump supporters have you seen rioting? Oh, that's right: zero.

Well yes. When people like you and Biden supporters cite misleading news stories and statistics as facts, you live in a fantasy vacuum. AKA brainwashing. If you were to go out and do any research for yourself, the bias would be much easier to identify. If you even study a little basic marketing ideology you would be able to spot the bias.

Please quote my post where I quoted any headlines or made any kind of comment beyond my dismay of Trump's cult. You will find quite a few where I outright stated that I do not support Biden and I have made my reasons clear for not supporting him. I don't support Trump either, I've already said I voted for Vermin Supreme.

Okay, so who else is in a position to "get Trump" voted out??? The Ghostbusters?
I voted for Vermin Supreme. I already said in this thread that I won't be voting for Biden. That being said, I would still like for you to address my concerns in the previous comment. Please quote where I posted any misleading titles or statistic.

It's a two-person race. To vote for anyone other than Biden or Trump is to say you don't have a preference between the two.
