As Election Day is approaching, white nationalists are planning to come out in force to watch the polls and to try to keep non-Trump supporters home. Neo-Nazi leader Andrew Anglin and website the Right Stuff have said that they will set up poll watchers in all 50 states and bragged about setting up hidden cameras in Philadelphia. They also said that they would hand out marijuana and liquor in the ghetto to try to induce voters in minority neighborhoods to stay home.
A representative for the Right Stuff explained how they would conduct their hidden camera work: Many polling locations are in schools, and black schools are so disorderly that pretty much any official-looking white person with a clipboard can gain access to them ahead of time and set up a hidden camera. You dont really ever even have to speak with an adult. Simply walk in like you belong there and no one even asks you why you are there. So we usually go in teams of two, one person driving and one person dressed as a blue collar worker with a clipboard, and we set up a hidden camera in the school cafeteria. Go during lunchtime and the teachers are all so busy trying to contain the kids that no one says anything. We already have a few set up.

We also have some teams going in to the ghettos in Philly with 40s and weed to give out to the local residents, which we think will lead to more of them staying home. We have had success with this in the past, the representative wrote. The National Socialist Movement, the KKK, and the white nationalist American Freedom Party are also all deploying members to watch polls. The Oath Keepers, a group of former law enforcement and military members who are often seen to be publicly armed, has told members to go undercover to watch polls. With so many coming out in force to prevent the rigged election that Donald Trump has been preaching, there is real potential for violence and intimidation.
The possibility of violence on or around Election Day is very real, said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Donald Trump has been telling his supporters for weeks and weeks and weeks now that they are about to have the election stolen from them by evil forces on behalf of the elites.
But, Potok says, all their efforts could very well backfire.
If on the morning of Election Day it turns out that we have white supremacists standing around looking threatening at polling places, I think it would arouse anger, he said. People would vote just to prove theyre not being intimidated by these radical racists.

(82,383 posts)not that I believe this one, but usually right wingers are so big on "the law." Like an immigrant should not be here illegally. That's breaking the law. Well so is handing out marijuana in most states then. Once again, the right is hypocritical.

(82,383 posts)it should practically be that Republican and Hypocrite are synonyms. The Democrats have to obey every law to the letter, Republicans can break them when necessary.

(24,761 posts)Those morons can end up in prison on drug charges because of their racist assumptions that all poor blacks are potheads and drunks.
In one way, I hope they try that stunt. It will more likely than not land them, not the voters, in prison.

"Circumstantial evidence of intent to sell narcotics or other drugs may include having a quantity of the drug greater than would be reasonable if the drug was for personal use..."
"A defendant need not actually have sold anything in order to be charged with possession with intent to sell. The mere fact of intending or planning to sell/distribute the drug - even for free - may be sufficient to support the charge, as long as the prosecutor can show convincingly that you had the mental intention to do so."
