In reply to the discussion: Minority Voters To Be Intimidated By Polling Place Vigilantes, Report Warns [View all]Brigid
(17,621 posts)23. I dare them to try that crap around here.
I live near a heavily African-American neighborhood, so there shoud be (I hope) a good turnout at my polling place for Obama. Most of them don't seem to be the type to be easily intimidated. If those True the Vote idiots do show up here, I think I'll pull open my jacket and flash 'em my Obama T-shirt as I leave.

Sadly, the Carter Center doesn't observe US elections, I already asked them in 2004 and 2008.

The R's would scream Democratic bias is what they told me. They definitely care though. nt

That would be great! Union folks have much to lose too, if they steal it again. nt
