Poll Watching Sparks Partisan Battles

By RACHEL KONRAD

MIAMI (AP) -- A network of Democratic trial attorneys and law professors is threatening to sue poll watchers and poll challengers who intimidate or disenfranchise voters in Florida, Ohio and other battleground states.

Rep. Chaka Fattah, a Pennsylvania Democrat, announced the Voter Protection Network on Monday in response to high-profile Republican strategies to challenge the legitimacy of thousands of newly registered voters, including many black and Latino voters.

"Quietly and lawfully monitoring voting is one thing, but aggressively suppressing and intimidating voters is quite another," said Fattah, who represents parts of Philadelphia and its suburbs.

In Florida, more than 5,000 Republican poll watchers will be on the lookout for fraudulent voters, people who are trying to cast ballots in the wrong precinct, and new citizens or young people who failed to register properly. The GOP has created a list of 1,800 voters in Duval County - most of them black - whose voting rights may be questioned. Gov. Jeb Bush has encouraged watchers to challenge voters frequently.

It's a new story, but mostly a summary, so I put it here rather than LBN.

1. Why haven't the Democrats in Florida filed lawsuits to stop this?

In Ohio they are filing lawsuits all over the place - what's going on in Florida?

Jeb Bush's criminal activity needs to be stopped!

"...Gov. Jeb Bush has encouraged watchers to challenge voters frequently."

Gotta challenge those voters, eh, jebbie? We CERTAINLY wouldn't want any problems or issues with the election, now would we? And you and your little harem of repuklican women will be making sure those nasty ol' minorities don't try and get all uppity and vote. Certainly wouldn't want those coloreds to legitimately vote your asshole brother out of office, LIKE THEY DID THE FIRST TIME, now would we?

Your time will come...
