Tea Partiers accused of harassment at the polls, they blame Democrats
Allegations of vote buying and voter intimidation came early and often to the state’s election fraud hotline Tuesday morning.

The vote fraud hotline received 14 calls before 9:45 a.m., according to Allison Martin, spokeswoman for Attorney General Jack Conway’s office.

The Election Fraud Hotline number is 1-800-328-VOTE, or 1-800-328-8683, and will be open until 7 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday.

Martin said three calls had been received involving vote buying or selling in Clay County; two in Perry County; and one each in Leslie and Magoffin counties.

There also have been calls from Clay County regarding an election official and “electioneering” or campaigning too close to the polls, she said.

David Adams, Paul’s campaign manager, said that he is “dubious at this point” about the allegations.

“We had a tip over the weekend (Me: Of course you did, David) that some of our volunteer activities have been infiltrated by (national) Democratic operatives planning to cause problems,” Adams said. “Hopefully, the secretary of state’s office will conduct themselves they way that they’re supposed to and we’ll get through this to a good conclusion.”

1. Please try to refer to them as "teabaggers".
That's what they originally called themselves, but they really hate it since they found out what it means.

Thank you! :smoke:

4. Militia-boy's minions
I guess intimidation at the polls is an illustration of all that "freedom" militia-boy Rand Paul talks about. :sarcasm:
