WilliamPitt (52,341 posts) I ****ING HATE THESE PEOPLE. Tea Party Group Blocks Florida Voters, Stops Water Handouts at Polls Brentin Mock and Voting Rights Watch 2012 The Nation November 5, 2012 - 12:11 PM ET Tea Party activists in Florida’s largely black and electorally significant Interstate 4 corridor have worked furiously to put a damper on what has been a record-setting turnout thus far. In one of the most striking examples of voter suppression to emerge, Voting Rights Watch obtained a list of several dozen Hillsborough County voters who will be surprised to learn they cannot vote regular ballots thanks to last-minute challenges filed against them. I’ve requested similar information from Miami-Dade, Orange, Pinellas and Seminole counties, but officials have not responded. A spokesperson for the Secretary of State’s Office, Chris Cate, said the state does not track voter challenges, so there is no way of knowing how widespread these sorts of challenges may be. In Hillsborough County, seventy-seven people—forty of them in Tampa—won’t be able to file a regular ballot because the True the Vote–affiliated group Tampa Vote Fair has challenged their voting status. Of those, sixty-eight have been challenged because Tampa Vote Fair asserts they are ineligible due to a felony conviction. These people will not know that their vote has been challenged until they reach the polls and are forced to cast a provisional ballot. (Some of them may have already attempted to vote during the early voting period.) According to documents provided to Voting Rights Watch by Hillsborough County Attorney’s office, all seventy-seven of the voter challenges were filed by Kimberly Kelley, Tampa Vote Fair’s president, and all are dated October 16, 2012—a full week after voter registration ended in Florida. Earlier this year, Kelley sent to the Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections multiple lists of people she suspected were ineligible to vote because of felony convictions. One of those lists had 1,375 names on it, which the county supervisor forwarded on to the state to investigate, but which turned up no names yet of people improperly registered.

Poll watcher Eve Rockford said members of the left-wing so-called civil rights group appeared at the early polling place wearing NAACP-labeled clothing and 50 cases of bottled water. The activists handed out the water bottles to individuals standing in line waiting to vote. They were also “stirring the crowd†and “talking to voters about flying to Ohio to promote President Barack Obama,†said Rockford, who was trained in poll-watching by True the Vote, a prominent electoral integrity organization.
"The nation that couldn’t be conquered by foreign enemies has been conquered by its elected officials" odawg Free Republic in reference to the GOP Elites who are no difference than the Democrats
I brought my own bottled water just in case there's was a long line.
Yep, I knew you guys where in the bag for "Big Water."
Seems to me that the law was simply being enforced. No convicts. No free giveaways a certain distance from the polls. Simple enough. Will is always a raging inferno of impotent fury, he's the type to drop dead of a heart attack.
I can't wait for tonight to hear 'All your election are belong to us'! Someone should redo that video, it would drive the DUches Crazy!![youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qItugh-fFgg[/youtube]
If Obama really wanted to give water for votes he should send some to Staten island.
