Voter intimidation/challenges at the polls

[prodigal_green]

given that there are still people out there who say they will choose when they get in the booth, and there are plenty of soft Republicans, I was thinking that visible signs of voter intimidation by the GOP brownshirts might actually push people in the opposite direction to vote for Kerry.

Thoughts?

1. Make sure if anyone challenges you that you get their credentials..

...and make sure that EVERYONE in the polling place knows exactly what these fuckers are up to.

Don't be crude and don't curse, but make sure that everyone knows what is going on.

2. That's not really the goal

The goal is to keep Democrats away from the polls. A side effect that makes it effective is that it slows down the line. People who are trying to vote on their lunch hour of before the kids get home from school end up not voting because the line is too long.

Roadblocks, detours and sending voters to the wrong precinct also serve the same function.
