I'll be sure to wear my Raza t-shirt when I go to vote at the Cyril Allgeier Community Center and will only answer in spanish to anyone talking to me as I go in. You should come harass me. It will be fun for both of us, and just a short drive. I may even ride my bicycle so you have no license plate to follow up on.

Wearing a racist tee shirt is not cool, dude.

Like the armed black panther party scared off white folks.

you have already been asked once not 3 posts above this one to provide proof of this and yet you keep on saying it. Nobody is going to take your talking point seriously.

Since his post was in response to your symmetrical assertion, perhaps you should show us yours first.

Agreed. Kinda like the black pansy party in 2008, huh?

What does that have to do with this upcoming election? Either what the black panther party did in 2008 was ok, and you agree with voter intimidation, or it was not ok in which teabaggers shouldn't be engaging in scare tactics.

What you're missing here is Tea Party likes The Constitution and wants us to follow it. If you can't speak english and you're trying to vote, then you need to be scrutinized. If busses are picking up people from outside the district then they need to be followed and recorded.

I'm Canadian, so I'm a little sketchy on the details, but can you link to the part in the Constitution which states increased voter scrutiny based on language spoken?

What does an illegal voter look like?

If I recall the Panthers just stood there and did not stop anyone. In a district that was already 94% Dem. Not much intimidation there.

This is why liberals need to exercise our 2nd Amendment rights. Teabaggers are willing and physically able to suppress our rights if we keep up this pacifism bullshit.

Well I wouldn't worry. These are your guys.

anyone that wants to question me better have a damn good reason to.

The black panthers shouldnt have done it (and they should have been arrested) and any Teaparty member that does it should to.

This is a state and district matter.

See you next Tuesday. Motivated and lawful.

Until someone tries to block someone from voting, then it's a federal offense. FBI should be out there making sure that's not happening.

No. It's about stopping tyranny and the purposeful destruction of our country by Obama. He will be rejected by legitimate voters.

Tea Party members have started challenging voter registration applications and have announced plans to question individual voters at the polls whom they suspect of being ineligible.

The group is also organizing volunteer “surveillance squads” to photograph and videotape what it suspects are irregularities, and in some cases to follow buses that take voters to the polls






No word yet on whether they will be wearing brown shirts.
Buy I'm guessing yes.

Somebodies got to counteract all those Black Panthers intimidating the voters.

TL; DR

Isn't this article about poll watchers? If so, allowed in most if not all states.
