Tea Party Terrorists intimidating voters in Texas

[TheBigotBasher]

Harris County, the biggest county in the state, is where a Tea Party group called the King Street Patriots launched an anti-voter fraud initiative called "True the Vote," which recruited poll watchers and amped up fears over groups like the community organizing group ACORN.

Chad Dunn, a lawyer who is representing the Texas Democratic Party, told TPMMuckraker a number of witnesses have been interviewed by Civil Rights Division lawyers already. "We've gotten a number of reports -- quite a few out of the Houston area -- that poll watchers, King Street Patriot training poll watchers, are following a voter after they've checked them out and stand right behind them," Dunn said. There's at least a dozen reports that they could confirm with witnesses, he said. "Interestingly, it's all in the polling places in Hispanic and African-American areas," he added.

Terry O'Rourke, the first assistant in the Harris County Attorney's office, told TPMMuckraker that there have been allegations of poll watchers talking to voters, which they are not allowed to do, as well as hovering over voters as they are waiting to vote. He said the complaints came from Kashmere Gardens, Moody Park, Sunnyside and other predominantly minority neighborhoods of the county.

Other than mouthing something about tax cuts, librul media and ObamaCare the Political Representative of the Tea Party Terrorists was unable to respond.

2. That's a major part of the election plan this year

Spread Florida 2000 across the country - prevent minorities from voting.

4. Take cameras and witnesses with you!

For the love of Pete, if they are doing this---bring in your cell phone and take
pictures and video of this travesty.

Take witnesses to vote with you. Then someone stand behind these rabid freaks
and intimidate them!

Talk about unpatriotic! Our Founding Fathers are rolling over in their graves
over what these low-rent bullies are doing in the name of "patriotism."

These looney toons asswipes love nothing but themselves!

6. Agreed.

Additionally if you see them picking on a voter - intervene.
