The GOP knows that they are going to have pull out all the stops to steal this election for Mitt

I am telling you they are going to try and keep every minority away from the polls that they can. The GOP knows that they cannot win this election unless they can suppress the minority vote. They have already laid the ground work with now more than 12 states having strict voter ID laws put in place. We have to keep this in mind as election day approaches.

They've known this since the 2000 election, when the Supreme Court itself gave their blessing to GOP voter suppression tactics by anointing Dubya. Since then they've only refined their methodology.

So yeah, this is what they do. I keep hoping the DOJ is on it more or less behind the scenes, despite being hampered by the worst Congress in history. All we can do as citizens is make sure our local Democratic groups get the message and work very specifically on voter registration, "proper" ID, and GOTV.
