Default What a shocker. Voter intimidation being reported.

Voter intimidation being reported in PA. People claiming men from Black Panthers were blocking doors. No way! Black Panthers trying to influence voters when a "black" man is on the ballot? Shocking.

These guys still think OJ is innocent as well. Amazing how color blind some people are. Oh, right, only whites are supposed to be color blind.

Shocking voter intimidation reported in CA. People from the Yes on 8 campaign screaming profanities at my wife and threatening physical violence as she took down yes on prop 8 signs that were placed in front of our house and in the common areas of our development.

Truly shocking development and actually a true story. Likely members of our stake shouting profanity at my wife. I wish I was there to defend her.

Perhaps you should follow the prophet and then that wouldn't happen. Have the courage to stand up for your beliefs. If you want to oppose the prophet, have courage!

BTW........why is she taking down signs from common areas in your development?

There is, of course, the other type of "voting management"... threatening heavy scrutiny of voter qualifications. (Who wants that?) To the African American community, this smells of the same kind of "voting management" that used to occur in the south.

I wonder what the deal is with 10 hour waits to vote? That should run off some new voters.

Right, heavy scrutiny of voter qualifications. Like making sure you're alive and a citizen.

Either way, the police escorted the gentlemen away. It's not like this is an ongoing situation.

Interesting, though: I noticed there were police stationed at my precinct. I was wondering what kind of unrest the could possibly be expecting.
