Well you're right. However, obviously there is never an election without even ONE person having a problem voting. So if you want to claim victory because I wasn't a hundred percent clear that I meant a major amount of voting problems so be it.
Though I am guessing you'd be the only one to think I meant there was not one problem at all.
Oh yeah, btw just heard many of the machine related problems were due to wet cards the optical scanners couldn't read (it was raining in the area) so they have secured the cards and will visually scan them.
Problem solved.

they just had a "talk" with one of the blank panthers and a video. yeah i can understand why some would be itimidated. having 2 large black guys (one with a nightstick) standing in front of the doors would do it. The black panther and the polling judge said the news crew didnt have a right to be there. but even the cops said they did.
BUT the interview guy went out of his way to mention NOBODY has been denied the right to vote.

They're knee-jerking. Whenever anyone mentions race, ever, the right-wingers swoop in and immediately try to accuse the Democrats of holding a double standard, no matter WHAT, without even reading anything.
Here's video from a random guy on the streets, apparently before the Faux News reporter was there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neGbKHyGuHU

That video wasn't in the OP was it?
The OP said:
"Watching Fox, they have Breaking News that the Black Panthers are
preventing them from reporting near an election site.
Then they roll the tape, and it's a white guy wearing a black leather jacket telling them to get off his sidewalk and back onto public property "
That is why I said OP, if you can't understand that maybe its time for you to move on to another forum.
Hadn't seen that.
Don't agree with what they are doing.
However, it's probably legal...
Right to bear arms
Building hiring "security"
But just because you have the right to do something, doesn't mean you should.
I do know that you are not supposed to phograph inside polling places in many states.
Not aware of PA law, but there could be some validity to their statement.
However, again, more couth could have been exercised.
For the record, I also do not support the New Black Panther party. It's a racist, anti-semite, organization.
Plain clothes, non weapon brandishing security would have been fine, but it doesn't look like they are doing anything illegal.
