Hillary Clinton Handout and Machines not working at polling place in
Philadelphia PA - 4/26/2016 Democratic Primary - Bernie Sanders
At
my voting location, which is a church with bibles on the voter sign-in
tables in North Philadelphia (National Temple Baptist Church at 1628
Master St, Philadelphia, PA 19121), there was "Vote for Hillary Clinton"
campaign advertisement at the front door as people enter, which is
against the law. The voting station worker states that the "MACHINES
WEREN'T WORKING" and that the person who is "SUPPOSED to be handing them
out" wasn't here. This polling station is obviously not even attempting
to remain unbiased, and is pressuring voters to vote Hillary Clinton,
not Bernie Sanders. I'd guess that this issue is prevalent at more
Philadelphia polling locations than just one.
The PA law states:
"a)
No person, when within the polling place, shall electioneer or solicit
votes for any political party, political body or candidate, nor shall
any
written or printed matter be posted up within the said room, except as
required by this act. All persons, except election officers,
clerks,
machine inspectors, overseers, watchers, persons in the course of
voting, persons lawfully giving assistance to voters, and peace
and
police officers, when permitted by the provisions of this act, must
remain at least ten (10) feet distant from the polling place during
the progress of the voting. (Pa. Consol. Stat. Ann. § 3060 (c); (d))"
