DOJ Probes TX Voter Intimidation Complaints During Tea Party Anti-Voter Fraud Drive | TPMMuckraker
Ryan J. Reilly | October 19, 2010, 10:34PM
'Poll watchers in Harris County, Texas -- where a Tea Party group launched an aggressive anti-voter fraud effort -- were accused of "hovering over" voters, "getting into election workers' faces" and blocking or disrupting lines of voters who were waiting to cast their ballots as early voting got underway yesterday. Now, TPMMuckraker has learned, the Justice Department has interviewed witnesses about the alleged intimidation and is gathering information about the so-called anti-voter fraud effort...'

I guess they were white folks, cuz if you are black, you can wave around a billy club, while wearing paramilitary clothing and yelling racial slurs and verbal threats.

Don't get me wrong, if these people were causing trouble, and bothering people, they need to be prosecuted, I just wish the DoJ would be consistent, regardless of race or political affiliation.
