this is a follow up to a top rec'd diary
http://www.dailykos.com/...
basically, me and a couple of other Kossacks were questioning the legitimacy of the story because there was no verifiable info posted, such as the address of the correct polling location (and the address of the incorrect place where people were sent), nor was a picture provided of the voter registration card that many voters appear to have received.
papundit provided a link to an image of the (bad) voter registration card s/he received in the mail, and I wanted to point out that the incorrect polling location can also be found from other sources on the net.
so, i'll be happy to delete this diary once epic can update her/his diary. FYI, epic said (in the comments of the original diary) that the source for the original story will only be able to scan the piece of mail they received, after 11PM, and epic wasn't sure, if it was an official document from the county.
so, here's the image--from papundit (of the voter registration card Lancaster County sent in the mail)--that helps confirm epic's diary.
Note that papundit was a new registrant and therefore more likely to be supporting Obama.
as papundit said in the comments of the original diary (and as highlighted in the diary's first update):
the polling place location on my registration card reads:
Manheim Township Community Center (There is no community center and the address below is a park)
2099 Fruitville Pike
Lancaster, PA 17601
The Precinct is: Manheim Township 17
My actual polling place is and always has been:
District 5717 MANHEIM TWP.
Precinct 17-D
BLOSSOM HILL MENNONITE CHURCH
333 DELP ROAD
This Linkto our county polling location chart illustrates and confirms the above. There is no polling place at 2099 Fruitville Pike, in fact, if you look it up on Google Maps you will see that it is indeed a park.
So, to close this update, the mistake (with the incorrect address) is also found on the Lancaster County Democrats website: http://www.lancasterdems.com/...
(if you search for "2099" you'll find the error)
and the mistake is not currently found on the Lancaster County website, though a Google cache showsthat the incorrect info was available on the Lancaster County Website as recently as 2/21/2007.
tips to epic and to papundit
UPDATE: I wanted to point to a balanced comment in the original diary.
