North Carolina Reports of Election Fraud in ‘Amendment One’ Battle

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

Amendment One and The FactsReports of improper balloting in areas that are heavily anti-Amendment One are coming in. Adam Bink at Courage Campaign reports via email:

All, we’re getting reports here in Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Raleigh (which are base areas for us, e.g. anti-Amendment 1) of precincts handing out INCORRECT ballots.

In North Carolina, 17-year-olds can vote in the statewide primary (e.g., for governor, etc.) if they turn 18 by November 6th. However, they CANNOT vote on Amendment 1 in this primary — they can only vote for candidates — therefore they are being handed ballots WITHOUT Amendment 1. That is proper election procedure.

The problem is, the reports we are getting are that people OVER 17 are also being handed these ballots WITHOUT Amendment 1 in what would normally be heavily anti-Amendment 1 precincts (Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Raleigh). We are working on testimonials from voters who have experienced this — in the meantime, if you report on Amendment 1, PLEASE ask readers to call 1-866-OUR-VOTE if they experience this in NC, or know someone who did. That will enable the campaign’s field team to investigate and correct this as soon as possible.

New York State Assembly Passes Gay Marriage Bill Again

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Last night, the State Assembly voted to approve the gay marriage bill. PolitickerNY reports the vote occurred “after four hours of debate and a technical problem that crashed the chamber’s electronic voting mechanisms.”

Previously, in 2007, the Assembly passed a similar bill 85-61; this year, three Democrats switched their votes from no to yes as did two Republicans.

One, Assemblyman Fred Thiele (R-Hamptons), explained, “There’s that little voice inside of you that tells you when you’ve done something right, and when you’ve done something wrong. That vote just never felt right to me. That little voice kept gnawing away at me.”

New York Gay Senator Says He Has Votes to Pass Gay Marriage

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

New York State’s only openly gay Senator, Thomas Duane (D-Manhattan), is telling the media that if the Senate votes on a bill to legalize same-sex marriages, it will pass. Duane, who is the bill’s primary sponsor, tells Newsday, “Already there are enough votes for it to pass and a cushion.”

But that view was hotly disputed by other Senators, including Majority Leader Malcolm Smith, who supports gay marriage but refuses to bring the bill to the floor before the legislative session ends on June 22nd unless it’s clear there are enough votes to pass it. Smith insists, “I don’t have 32 votes that I know of.” Senator Frank Padavan (R-Queens) says Duane’s “dreaming,” and Senator Ruben Diaz Sr., a fierce opponent of same-sex marriage, slammed Duane’s prediction, telling the Daily News “It’s unprofessional to be playing with people’s minds.”

Governor Paterson, who’ll sign the bill if it reaches his desk, is urging the Senate leadership to put the bill to a floor vote, regardless of the vote count. But openly voting on such a divisive issue would take political backbone, so Duane can probably just keep dreaming.
