"She [Kamala Harris] might have Philadelphia, but she got to win all states," remarked Joseph Bellinger, a poll supervisor standing by a ballot box outside the Philadelphia City Commissioners Office located at 5610 Lancaster Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19131. Poll supervisors are bound by strict neutrality to ensure voter trust and integrity, prohibiting them from sharing political views. According to 25 Pa. Stat. § 3031.11, "no such election officer shall, when giving such instructions, in any manner request, suggest or seek to persuade or induce any such voter to vote any particular ticket or for any particular candidate." Yet, Bellinger hinted at his belief in Harris’s lead, adding, "I mean, you know my opinion."
A security official in the office who works alongside Bellinger stated confidently, "She got that in the bag, bro," reinforcing the sentiment with, "That's my opinion." The exchange took an unexpected turn when two other locals joined in, with one announcing, "I'm [voting for] Trump," and another sharing a spontaneous freestyle rap.
In response to our footage release yesterday, where the Philadelphia City Commissioners' Office told non-citizens they could vote if they are Philadelphia residents, Commissioner Seth Bluestein stated, "This report is incorrect and not supported at all by the facts. Non-citizens are not eligible to vote in Philadelphia. A mail ballot provided by our office can only be counted after the voter verifies their ID, typically with a social security number or driver’s license number." We are calling him for comment—stay tuned.
Frustration and exhaustion are palpable among those in line, with many sharing they are "Tired and hungry" and "Ready for dinner." One even displayed a stopwatch showing they had been waiting "five hours, two minutes and seven seconds."
Another frustrated voter voiced his concerns: "This system is brutal." In an attempt to explain the reasoning behind the increasing wait times voters are experiencing, he stated, "The printer takes too long to print. You have to keep on pushing buttons just to try to go back and do things... This stuff right here is garbage." He added, "Waste of tax dollar money. Get some better equipment."
James O'Keefe is on the ground in Mt. Laurel, NJ, speaking with voters who have been waiting in line for hours with no clear explanation as to why the process is taking so long. Voters are expressing frustration, as they’ve been standing in line without receiving updates or information. The delays are impacting people’s ability to cast their votes in a timely manner, and many are seeking clarity on what’s causing the holdup.
Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell recently sent a legal letter threatening OMG over our citizen journalism efforts, claiming that our hidden camera investigations could constitute as "election interference." However, our attorneys have responded, making it clear that overseeing and reporting on the election process is not interference—it’s the essence of journalism and accountability. As our attorney Benjamin Barr said, "Labeling recordings interference is like suggesting ears cause trouble. Sometimes the First Amendment just means listening."
We refuse to allow officials like Rachel Mitchell and Joseph E. La Rue to misinterpret the First Amendment and threaten independent journalism. Our legal team calls for Maricopa County to "welcome, not scold, citizen journalists and observers as part of its commitment to civilian oversight today."
With figures like CBS's David Becker urging us to "trust official sources," it's clear that pushing for full transparency and oversight is...
The last Kennedy
One last walk
Through raging throngs
Spit in his face
Hiding old tears
Denied by history
One last walk
Towards the throne
Bathed in father's blood
Scourges on weathered skin
Drip down
One last walk
Of the last knight
Never give up
Never surrender
Camelot lives
