WASHINGTON, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Democratic Party officials sued Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in four battleground states on Monday, seeking to shut down a poll-watching effort they said was designed to harass minority voters in the Nov. 8 election.

In lawsuits filed in federal courts in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona and Ohio, Democrats argued that Trump and Republican Party officials were mounting a "campaign of vigilante voter intimidation" that violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act and an 1871 law aimed at the Ku Klux Klan.

Once again, the RAT party does shows it's hate of DEMOCRACY and rule by WE THE PEOPLE. They are constantly running to the courts when they don't get their way. This seal truly depicts the mascot of the RAT party - a cry baby.

This is the Democrat equivalent of having violinists serenade their staff with a mournful rendition of “Nearer My God to Thee.”

Poll watchers are a historic institution in American politics. What alternate universe are the Democrats on now? The party of Cheat?

No!...well they are losers, but liberals always tell you what they are thinking by accusing you of thinking it! This means that they are trying to steal these states and Trump should up his game. He will...he knows how desperate they are now.

That little old lady sitting quietly at the polling station is intimidating me!! I don't think I can cast my 10 votes for Hillary with gazing at me disapprovingly!

This is nothing but controlling the optics. They are planting the seed in the minds of the LIVs that no one can tell anyone they shouldn’t;t vote. I think a boatload of billboards in every city (where we know illegals congregate)that simply says ‘You must be a citizen of the USA to vote! You will be arrested if you vote and are found to have voted illegally’. Yeah, I know, wishful thinking. A non-citizen, here in the Phoenix area, decided to test online registration. He ticked the box that said he was eligible to vote. He received an absentee ballot and called the MSM to point out that he was not eligible to vote yesterday but received a ballot, simply because he ticked the eligible box. He was trying to show that no one is checking and anyone can say they are eligible and get a ballot. Of course, he’s being arrested for voter fraud. It’s not nice to shine the light of truth on the corruption in our Government. Arizona is still dominated by the Republicans, so even our side doesn’t bother corroborating the status of those who register to vote. SMH.

The most “blue” areas also tend to have a lot of traffic. Couldn’t we have a “grass roots” effort to make sure that on election day that the traffic in those areas is increased? IANAL but I believe this would be perfectly legal.

Trump needs to countersue these Nazi bastard and NOT let them off the hook after the election.

Any attempt to stop election fraud is a violation of the VRA.
