Judge allows armed monitoring of Drop Boxes

[MarathonMike]

Democrats have violated the trust of the people which is why citizens are monitoring the ballot boxes. We need more of them all across the country because cheating is the only way Democrats have a chance on Nov. 8th.

 

[rightwinger]

Democrats said they were no danger and intimidated no one.

Then why did Republicans demand they be arrested?

Looks like precedence was set under Obama and Fox understood that.
Why are you even asking such a question?

Faux, specifically O'Reilly, lied.

On Jan. 7, 2009, the Bush Administration Justice Department announced that it filed a civil lawsuit against the New Black Panther Party and three of its members. Specifically, they were alleged to have violated Section 11(b) of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibits intimidation, coercion or threats against "any person for voting or attempting to vote." The aims of the lawsuit were fairly limited: "The Department seeks an injunction preventing any future deployment of, or display of weapons by, New Black Panther Party members at the entrance to polling locations." In other words, the aim was to make sure they didn't do something similar again in the future. This section of the law does not subject violators to criminal penalties (fines or jail time, for example).

The Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice, which handles all racially motivated voter intimidation offenses, determined that "the facts did not constitute a prosecutable violation of the federal criminal civil rights statutes," according to testimony provided by Thomas E. Perez , Assistant Attorney General, on May 14, 2010. Justice spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler confirmed to PolitiFact that that determination not to file criminal charges was made prior to the filing of the civil case.

In other words, the decision not to pursue criminal charges was made by the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division prior to the Obama administration.

don’t give the neo-fascist, authoritarian

Oooh I like that! Neo-fascist authoritarian it makes me sound all scawy!

 

[Weatherman2020]

Then why did Republicans demand they be arrested?

Because they were black!!

 

[MarathonMike]

Hilarious!
Tell us more about the few dozen unarmed protesters who nearly toppled the US government!

Democrats do their best work when no one is looking. They hate it when the lights are bright, and people are watching what they do.

 

[berg80]

Yet, no illegal ballots were found

Members of The Following steadfastly refuse to accept that stubborn fact.

DOJ, huh?
Under Obama, right?

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Apparently voter intimidation is the only we can prevent stolen elections in the future.

And what happens when they piss off a similarly armed person and catch a bullet for their effort? Karma? Frontier justice?

That's what you have been told to believe, absent evidence.

This shit wouldn't be happening if Dimm's hadn't already trashed our Democracy.
It is what it is.

Reading comprehension problem?

Opposing the right to vote, disenfranchisement, and voter suppression such as voter intimidation are the sole purview of the neo-fascist, authoritarian right.

Right, that lie is what it is. A lie.

I'm only following El Presidente's example.

Does anyone monitor mail boxes?

View attachment 717529

No, but mail boxes and US voting drop boxes aren’t the same thing

 

[westwall]

I guess you have a second amendment right to bring your gun while you monitor Arizona Drop Boxes. How can THAT be voter intimidation?

Group can monitor Arizona ballot drop boxes, US judge rules

PHOENIX (AP) -- A federal judge Friday refused to bar a group from monitoring outdoor ballot boxes in Arizona's largest county where watchers have shown

“A federal judge Friday refused to bar a group from monitoring outdoor ballot boxes in Arizona’s largest county where watchers have shown up armed and in ballistic vests, saying to do so could violate the monitors’ constitutional rights.”

Ummmm DROP boxes are not where people VOTE.

Dumbshit.

 

[Rye Catcher]

Sad but true in most cases.

It's people such as you that are disgusting racists. Yes, this creates hate of white people in some, as some white people hate blacks.

Keep posting these comments will continue the social problems for decades.

 

[rightwinger]

Because they were black!!

Evidently
Republicans were outraged that intimidating black men were standing outside a polling station

 

[rightwinger]

Ummmm DROP boxes are not where people VOTE.

Dumbshit.

Yes they are

What else do people do at Drop Boxes?
