I presume these vigilantes are from "True The Vote", supposedly a teaparty formed group. Previously the GOP had tried similar tactics itself which resulted in a PERMANENT injunction against them. The GOP tried unsuccessfully to get that injunction lifted earlier this year, failed and all of a sudden True The Vote grew exponentially.

The state of PA is harrassing voters asking for ID before they go in to vote. Heard story from Phila radio sports talk host. The host got into an argument with one of the supervisors because voter ID laws were struck down and the state should not be asking.

The answer the host got "well we are just practicing for the next time". Argument ensued

Whats funny is True the Vote was tossed out in some Ohio locations for, are you ready for this, fraudulent completion of observer application documents. Falsifying etc...

County officials received a complaint shortly before 10 a.m. Tuesday that Republicans outside a polling location on Maple Street in Homestead were stopping people outside the polls and asking for identification.

Is that it? One complaint with nothing to back it up? No videos, no proof, no arrests? Republican Vigilantes?

I find it interesting that right wing websites are full of "stories" about how the Dems are stealing the vote yet actual JUDGES are saying that its the Republicans that are doing it.

Really, where does it say in the article that "actual JUDGES are saying that its the Republicans that are doing it"? I couldn't find it.
