Arkansas Republican stood in polling place door shouting ‘shut up and go home’ at early voters

A Republican election commissioner in Arkansas has been accused of voter intimidation after he harassed early voters and tried to drive them away from a polling location in Pine Bluff.

Arkansas Online reported Friday that Jefferson County Clerk Patricia Johnson and Pine Bluff resident Victor Johnson — no relation — have accused election commissioner and designated poll watcher Stu Soffer of voter intimidation after he stood in the doorway of an early voting location and shouted at voters to “shut up and go home.”

Soffer — who made headlines earlier this year when he brandished a gun during a meeting of the Jefferson County Election Commission — applied to be a poll watcher on Oct. 18 and, according to the attorney representing Victor Johnson, “interfered with and intimidated voters” at the Jefferson County Courthouse on Oct. 24.

3. At worst he'll get a slap on the wrist.

Anything goes if you're a Republican.
