Report Warns: Minority Voters Could Be Intimidated By Polling Place Vigilantes

[AmericanFirst]

you all weren't worried with the intimidation of the Black Panthers so why should we be worried of some dumb report titled, BULLIES AT THE BALLOT BOX from some site called, common cause

GOOD GAWD..

Yeah...two guys from 4 years ago STILL have Righties shaking in their boots.

Scared of two offspring of crack whores? Doubt it.

See this thread typifies liberals. First they really must think that blacks are a bunch of chicken littles. Scared by white folks in the room. I think more of blacks and I can't see them being intimidated enough not to vote, unless the white folk have knight sticks, or not to vote for whom they would anyways (Obama).

So I reject the poor view that the OP would have me to believe about blacks. But it is in the nature of Democrats to think that blacks need their white overlords looking after them.

Then we have a liberal just throwing out their that a Republicans is charged with a Felony as if that had anything to do with Democrats thinking blacks can be scared so easily. I wonder what the Democrats think of the Tuskegee Airman, how were they able to fight with so many whites in the air? Really has anything really changed in the Democrat party since 1865?

Really, being outraged they equate to be scared, yet they think nothing of belittling blacks about being scared because a pencil necked WHITE geek is in the room. I don't think they think things out to well.

Oh...and you know their mothers were "crack whores"....how?

WASHINGTON -- Concerned that a veritable army of Tea Partyers will descend on polling places in minority neighborhoods to challenge and intimidate voters on Election Day, two public interest groups on Monday called for government officials to take extra steps to protect voters' rights.

A new report from Common Cause and Demos, titled "Bullies at the Ballot Box," describes efforts by right-wing groups -- foremost among them, a Tea Party spin-off group called True the Vote -- to train as many as a million volunteers in "poll-watching."

"I think we have seen a much more coordinated and well-funded effort than we've seen in years past, and that's why it's so concerning," said Jenny Flanagan, director of voting and elections at Common Cause and one of the report's authors.

"The message behind their tactic I think is what's most concerning to us," she said, because the groups appear to be "targeting racial minorities and others who have a past of being targeted."

The report notes that True the Vote official Bill Ouren has told volunteers they should make voters feel "like driving and seeing the police following you." And the president of True the Vote coalition partner Judicial Watch has accused the Obama administration of trying to mobilize "the food stamp army" and "steal the election" with the "illegal alien vote."

True the Vote officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

"There is a real danger that voters will face overzealous volunteers who take the law into their own hands to target voters they deem suspect," the report concludes.

Voter intimidation at the polls would be the final act in a series of moves by various conservative organizations intended to limit participation by traditionally Democratic demographic groups, most notably minorities and students, in 2012.

Monday's report focuses on 10 swing states where it finds a mixed bag of state laws regarding such things as voter challenges before Election Day -- based on such things are returned mail -- and voter challenges on Election Day -- including limits on interference by poll watchers.

Federal law prohibits intimidation of voters, but as with the state rules, "those laws need to be enforced to be effective," Flanagan said.

Who did they "intimidate"? Many people were interviewed, and no one said they were "intimidated" according to investigative reports - which is why "Bush" never charged them with voter intimidation.

(CNSNews.com) - Setting the scene for possible post-election legal challenges, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said his unions plan to deploy 2,000 “poll monitors” who will be linked with lawyers around the country as a way to prevent
"voter suppression" in states such as Ohio.

During a media conference call on Thursday, Trumka recalled being at an early voting site in Las Vegas where he saw “challengers inside.”

“We’re going to have over 2,000 people that are going to be available as poll monitors that’ll be connected to a number of lawyers around the country. So that if they [the opposition] attempt to deny them the right to vote, or hassle them we’ll be able to have a rapid response team that will respond immediately to that and protect them,” Trumka said.
