JUST IN: Republicans Sued Over Trump's Call To Intimidate Minority Voters

The Democratic Party has filed suit to stop vigilante poll watching in minority communities.

This action violates a 1981 court order against the Republican Party for doing same in elections past.

The GOP should disguise their "vigilante poll watchers" as armed Black Panther Party members so the DOJ will look the other way.

The consent decree was established in 1981.

I think it is just great to have armed goons at the polling places checking everyone out in line and making sure they speak American.

Likely this will lead to challenges and Federal courts will have to overrule State laws enacted to by Republicans to permit this abuse.

They can go with billy clubs and stand outside. Obama's DOJ said that is perfectly appropriate.

Yes, people standing in front of polling places armed with clubs yelling, "F**k honkies" is not voter intimidation.

Well, not according to Eric Holder's DOJ.


The democrats can't afford to have honest poll watchers, or otherwise their voter fraud schemes will be documented on video.

Funny how democrats cry whne they can't rig the election.

Most states have requirements that in order to be an official "pollwatcher" you must have a signed affidavit from the campaign - and only 1 or 2 are allowed.

Otherwise? It's electioneering. And illegal.

Looking forward to the DOJ or the Supremes to knock this off.
