Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) is asking the Department of Justice to investigate whether tea party groups are intimidating black and Hispanic voters in her district.
Jackson Lee has asked Attorney General Eric Holder to send poll monitors to her district on Nov. 2 to make sure the King Street Patriots, a local conservative voter turnout and tea party group, aren’t stopping people from voting.
“Many of these incidents of voter intimidation have been occurring in predominately minority neighborhoods and have been directed at African-Americans and Latinos,” she said in the letter. “It is unconscionable to think that anyone would deliberately employ the use of such forceful and intimidating tactics in 2010 to undermine the fundamental, constitutional right to vote.”
“I urge you to order an immediate investigation into these incidents and call for the Department of Justice to send poll monitors to Harris County immediately to ensure a safe and neutral voting environment during the Nov. 2 election,” Jackson Lee wrote.
Lee says the tea party group is sending in poll watchers who have been trained to aggressively monitor voters by standing directly behind them.
The King Street Patriots have also gone after Jackson Lee, saying Jackson Lee is asking for votes right outside polling places.

Leftists are INHERENTLY dishonest - it’s just a part of the ideology to not recognize any sense of right and wrong outside of their “inner god”.
Laws, rules, etc, are only to be deferred to when they further the goals of the left.
Very much like Muslims.
This idiot thinks she can intimidate conservatives and keep them from monitoring liberal vote fraud and voter intimidation.
Lee you are a stupid stupid woman why don’t you really say what you are afriad of and that is the fact that your poll workers won’t be able to manufacture enough votes to keep your ugly @$$ in office with them people hanging around.The only voter intimadation I’ve heard of in your district was when you broke the law and campaigned in the polls.
I’m typing this with a paper bag over my head....one reason is I’m embarrassed to have that IDIOT in my hometown and the other is to catch the chunks I’m about to blow. Wasn’t SHE standing at the door asking for votes??? You can bet Holder will send in his people to get this investigated faster than a speeding bullet (a little Superman lingo there). Black Panthers are protected! Queen Sheila is waaaaaay past being defeated!
Hear Queen Sheila roar.
We (Tea Party) actually have jobs and work hard to take care of our families, so we do not have to time to sit at polls all day trying to intimidate voters....that is better left to the unemployed and the government/union thugs and those are hired by the left.....
Oh Marty, don’t get me started on the media in this town. Our only saving grace is Conservative talk radio down here.
This moron isn’t known as Sheila “Jackass” Lee for nothing...
Poll watchers watching for irregularities in a precinct known for vote fraud - “voter intimidation”.
NBPP members, WITH WEAPONS, “guarding” the door to a polling place, shouting racial epithets at white people - nothing to see here.
Why are these people voting anyway? The election isn’t until Tuesday. Or is Sheila afraid a poll watcher might say, “hey, you voted yesterday.”
How does Sheila know who is tea party? I bet nobody asks her to tell us how she identifies one.
You're acting pretty scared.
C'mon, what are you frightened of?
Hmmmmmmm?

"Hey Eric ... I'm down here stealing votes, fair and square, and these crackers keep bustin' my game...send some bruthas!! KnowudI'mSayin'?"
Ding dong is asking for an investigation of a hypothetical situation three days in the future.
I had to check the by-line to make sure this wasn’t one of John Semmens’s devious quasi-satires.
"Tea Party" is a black racist code word for "cracker".
See? We can all play race cards! Isn't it fun?
How are they going to know the difference between a regular campaigner and one who belongs to the Tea Party? I campaign for my conservative candidate who is Tea Party backed, but am not an ‘official’ Tea Party member.
