Controversial Republican Mike Roman to run Donald Trump's 'election protection'
The Manchester Guardian ^ | October 18, 2016 | Ben Jacobs in Washington

Posted on 10/18/2016 1:30:19 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Donald Trump’s “election protection” effort will be run by Mike Roman, a Republican operative best known for promoting a video of apparent voter intimidation by the New Black Panthers outside a polling place in 2008.

Roman is to oversee poll-watching efforts as Trump undertakes an unprecedented effort by a major party nominee by calling into question the legitimacy of the popular vote weeks before election day.

The Republican nominee has insisted, without evidence, that dead people and undocumented immigrants are voting in the United States.

Trump has long claimed that the 2016 election is rigged but has amplified his claims of voter fraud in recent days. On Monday he tweeted: “Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!” In particular Trump claimed in an interview with Fox News that voter fraud was rampant in cities including Philadelphia, St Louis and Chicago after long warning vaguely about fraud in “certain communities”.

Multiple sources have confirmed to the Guardian that Roman, who also previously ran the Koch network’s now defunct internal intelligence agency, will oversee the Trump campaign’s efforts to monitor polling places for any signs of voter fraud....

All Republicans and/or Conservatives are "controversial" if there's an election coming up.

Without evidence? Without evidence? How much more evidence do you need Manchester Guardian? That used to tbe the Republican paper of record in New England. What has happened to America? What the hell happened? (Rhetorical of course, I know quite well what happened)

I hang out on a regular basis on the Guardian's comment boards.Some of the posts you see there would make our Community Organizer-In-Chief sound like Reagan by comparison.

Every school bus that pulls up to a polling place should get an immediate shout out to the supervisors of that precinct’s voting booths.

I’m guessing quite a number of Athols and Billericans have migrated north to tip the balance.

“Without evidence”?

Investigation launched after dead people are registered to vote in Harrisonburg (9-29-16)

That’s just for starters around here.

Controversial is the word the MSM uses to discredit anyone they don’t like or want to smear the persons credibility.

You're thinking of the Manchester [NH] Union Leader.

This post is about the Manchester [UK] Guardian, a Brit publication, which has always been super-left.

an unprecedented effort by a major party nominee by calling into question the legitimacy of the popular vote . . .

You meant to say, I'm sure, "with the exception of Vice-President Albert Gore, Jr., in the election of 2000"?

Hmmm?

By the way, as I recall, back before the unforeseen events of 1989-90 (So sorry, Putin!), the Guardian had actual KGB assets contributing to its pages.

Controversial in showing the Black Panthers intimidating voters. Meanwhile, the Black Panthers intimidating voters is not controversial.
