A Pennsylvania judge is issuing an order to reinstate Republican election officials across Philadelphia who allegedly were ejected or refused entry by on-site Democratic voting chief judges, GOP officials tell Fox News.
One Republican official claimed that "just under 70" Republican election officials were blocked from Philadelphia polling sites Tuesday morning by Democrats on site. One of them, the official claimed, "was shoved out of the polling place."
"For this many inspectors to be ejected from polling places is rare, even for Philadelphia," the official told FoxNews.com.
Elsewhere in the city, a representative from the New Black Panther Party was also spotted outside a polling site. The New Black Panthers stirred controversy in 2008 when members appeared outside a polling site, one of them holding a billy club. The representative seen Tuesday morning was not armed.
The flap over the election judges, though, was widespread. Republicans claim they are obtaining a series of court orders to seat the so-called election "inspectors," and sheriff's deputies will be available to escort them.
Despite the high number of officials who were allegedly booted, the dispute itself is not uncommon for Philadelphia. Fred Voigt, legal counsel for the city commissioners, said these kinds of face-offs happen "with regularity" in the City of Brotherly Love.
"It happens all the time," Voigt said. He said court-appointed Republican officials typically show up on Election Day and end up squaring off against stand-in officials at the polling sites filling in the open seats. Part of the problem, he said, is that the Republican inspectors are appointed on relatively short notice, leading to a string of confrontations on Election Day.
"There are no cool heads here," Voigt said.
The on-site election officials are responsible for verifying the identity of voters, and monitoring for signs of fraud or disenfranchisement.

Why aren't arrests being ordered? Why aren't the black panther thugs being arounded up on a 72-hour psychiatric watch?

Because of the lack of action by the DoJ in 2008...they've been given the green light.

Good news from People For the American Way re: Tea Party voter suppression in OH & PA
Just got this in an email from them:
We're getting reports in from our people on the ground in Ohio and Pennsylvania that "poll observers" from True the Vote -- the Tea Party group set up to intimidate voters and challenge (mostly minority) voters' right to vote at the polls -- are being barred from polling places across the states, thanks to the good work of fair elections advocates and lawyers!

They couldn't even try to cover it up with a tarp to give the illusion of compliance with voting laws?

They have said they won't confront, but will record and report intimidation. That being said, I don't think the asshole NBBP will like being recorded and will start something.

They want to get the Republican officials out so they can fix the race for obama ...

Our elections are full of fraud. Welcome to Zimbabwe. Doesn't look like we have any R leaders with a spine to get to the bottom of this either.
