Trump’s ‘Rigged Election’ Poll Watchdogs Could End Up in Jail
Fiscal Times/yahoo ^ | 10-17-2016 | Fiscal Times

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has spent much of the last several days cementing in the minds of his supporters the idea that the presidential election on November 8 is on the verge of being stolen from him by a “rigged” system. He’s encouraged his supporters to turn out at polling sites where they suspect election fraud might take place in order to fight back against the shadowy cabal he insists stands between him and the White House.

In a widely read story published by the Boston Globe on Saturday, one Trump supporter said he planned to do just that.

“Trump said to watch your precincts. I’m going to go, for sure,” Steve Webb told reporters Matt Viser and Tracy Jan. “I’ll look for . . . well, it’s called racial profiling. Mexicans. Syrians. People who can’t speak American.... I’m going to go right up behind them. I’ll do everything legally. I want to see if they are accountable. I’m not going to do anything illegal. I’m going to make them a little bit nervous.”

I plan on volunteering to be a poll-watcher in Cinci this week.

I worked for Romney in Cinci during 2012, and I saw what happened when the church buses started hitting the streets at 430pm.

Poll watching is perfectly legal. What’s illegal is threatening to arrest people for poll watching!

Want to bet the guy quoted in the story is a paid DNC shill

I don’t see why citizens can’t stop these bus caravans going from polling place to polling place

What you should do is take a video of the bus, the license plate, and the people getting off the bus. When the bus leaves, follow it. If it shows up at another polling place, take a video of those people getting off again.

Have been voting at the same polling place for 19 yrs.

This Spring signs went up for the first time all over the building announcing that the use of cell phone cameras on the premises was prohibited.

Hmmmmmm.......

Sounds like a great time for a street-blocking protest to me.

The democrats/socialists in Milwaukee flatten the tires of busses the Republicans use to get out the vote.

Unless it is on Vine St. (aptly named) in Cinci. Those who have lived there know what I mean.

Rolling Stone is a liberal smear sheet. Already there have been cases of MASSIVE voter fraud in Virginia, Indiana, Florida and other places.

If this is a close election and Hillary prevails, I expect Trump to fight it out in the Courts, unlike the milquetoast RINOs the GOP picked before.

It was all OK when the Black Panthers swaggered around with billy clubs to intimidate white voters.

I live in a very conservative county. In 2004, we had a poll watcher show up wearing 2 Kerry buttons and a Kerry hat. She stuck a Kerry lawn sign in the ground 6 feet from the polling place door and crossed her arms and just stared at us standing in line. We asked the retired deputy who was guarding the door if that was legal. He said, “they warned us to let them do whatever they want. But if you touch that sign, I’ll have to have you arrested.”

I called the supervisor of elections later and they explained that the Dems had shown up with lawyers prepared to file a suit for any attempt to stop their watchers. They win by manufacturing a situation and then suing to prevent anyone from reacting to it.

He was probably OK until the "I’m going to make them a little bit nervous." Voter intimidation is against the law, and most states don't allow electioneering within a certain distance of a polling place much less inside it.

EXACTLY!

Cell Phone Cameras make this type of investigation easy.

Simply video tape the bus unloading at one polling place and allowing the people to vote, then document them loading them up and driving them to another polling place to vote as many times as possible.

Then phone in a complaint.

This kind of voting fraud is huge in places where they have early voting .

It's also huge in the northern mid west states where people are bussed across state lines to vote multiple times in multiple states.

We should paint I.N.S. On cars and drive into voting parking lots and blast out warnings that anyone caught voting with illegal I’d will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest intent of the law! Democrats have been using scare tactics for years...This year we need to use the law to prevent the laws from being broken...
