Dems call police in NY-23 over Hoffman supporters
Hot Air ^ | Nov. 3, 2009 | Ed Morrissey

Election laws usually prohibit campaigning within a certain distance from a polling location on Election Day. Usually, all it takes is a word to the precinct judges to get violations from overeager campaigners straightened out. Democrats in NY-23’s special election called the cops, as the New York Daily News’ Elizabeth Benjamin reports: I just got off the phone with former state Democratic Chairwoman June O’Neill, who informed me the police had been called to at least two polling sites in St. Lawrence County due to overzealous electioneering (O’Neill called it “voter intimidation”) by Doug Hoffman supporters.

Of course, pull out the 'voter intimidation by GOP' card when you're about to get your lunch eaten.

Yup. Here we go agaaaaaaaaaaain! Notice, there were absolutely NO “voter irregularities” in 2008 because The One and the Dems were well on their way.

Let me guess - their version of VOTER INTIMIDATION is two little old ladies holding signs.

If it weren’t so serious it would be side-splittingly comical, the way these effin’ communist pigs lie, cheat and steal their way through our country.

Voter intimidation? I imagine they sent out people to inform voters that Dede has retired from the race, so a vote on the REpublican line would be wasted. But the Republican party is now supporting Hoffman.

What did they do, get one foot too close to the building?

Sounds like the ACLOWNs are throwing as much chaff in the air as possible. Ignore the chaff and watch the clowns.

The Electioneering Line in clearly marked.

Stay behind the line and do your work from there.

Yeah, they questioned the out of towners, union thugs and ACORN - those that piled into NY23 yesterday. The rats CANNOT win w/o voter fraud.

From the article: "It’s akin to blaming a loss in a football game to an offsides call in the second quarter.

More like calling back the winning touchdown because someone was double parked outside the stadium.

Look folks, forget these insane actions by crazed “Kool Aid” drinkers and stay firmly focused on the task at hand (Victory for Doug Hoffman in the NY23 congressional seat) . Forget the side shows and wordy liberal idiots!!! Get the vote out for Doug Hoffman and let’s keep this house seat and bring POTUS Obama and his socialist minions down a peg further tonight. GET OUT & VOTE NOW!!!!

LOL...I’m sure those dangerous Hoffman supporters weren’t using billy clubs like the Black Panthers did for BO’s election...not that Eric Holder thinks there is anything wrong with that.
