I understand Arizona may be on that list. My wife and I recently moved into a poor neighborhood, and they are being slow to get her registration card out, or our son's. This will be his first vote. They are both black.
++WARNING++ THIS POST WILL BE VERY ANGRY, and very rude, but we MUST address these issues, this week, and those of us affected must have some strategy to deal with these Thugs.
Besides cold cocking anybody that attempts to challenge their right to vote, (WHICH ++WILL++ happen, by me if neither of them beats me to it,) how do we deal with challenges?
I fully intend to make as big a ruckus, and if carted to jail, make sure the poll "monitors" go with me so that they cannot interfere with anyone else. I'm sorry, TOO MANY OF MY RELATIVES PUT THEMSELVES IN HARMS WAY, VOLUNTARILY, for me to even allow someone to try to challenge our votes. That simply will not happen in my family with out very real and very violent push-back, (as in someone unconscious, and it won't be us.)
Is there any kind of charge people can press against a "monitor" challenging a legal voter?
Even if it is never prosecuted, having the cops show and drag the thug away will discourage others, and the thug WILL BE BOOKED, and a public record generated.
If enough of us do this, especially early in the day, the word will get out and the thugs will stay home later.
Sorry to be so angry, but NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO CHALLENGE MY VOTE. My father served in Korea, as did my father-in-law, and mother-law. I had a couple of cousins in Vietnam, Uncles in WW2 including at least one POW, Grands in WW1, and one that made the history books for his honorable treatment of a Union General captured behind the lines in the Civil war.
(I don't think I have anyone prior to that as both families immigrated from Germany before the civil war.)
Too many other patriots have died, including solders in Iraq, The war it's self is wrong, but those solders joined for the right reasons, and the bulk of them I have to believe are fighting the best they know how to preserve our freedomes and the KEY freedom is the right to vote and a belief that all votes will be fairly counted.
I am open to less violet methodes of stopping these attacks, but they are OPEN ATTacks ON our right to vate and CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO GO UNANSWERED.
I have voted in virtually every election since Ronnie was elected the first time. My wife has voted longer than that, and her father can remember elecyion is Texas where blacks were not allowed to vote. This is simpply so far beyond the pale that I will not stand for it.
