NEWARK, N.J. — Lawyers for Democrats around the country are filing lawsuits claiming Republicans and the campaign of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump are pushing supporters to intimidate and confront voters on Election Day.

Trump has called on his supporters to act as “election observers” in certain areas of the country to help prevent fraud.

In Ohio, a federal judge on Friday issued a temporary restraining order against Trump’s campaign and his friend and informal adviser, Roger Stone, barring them from harassing or intimidating Ohio voters during Tuesday’s election.

Attorneys representing the Democratic Party argued Friday in New Jersey court that the GOP was coordinating with Trump to intimidate voters, accusations that the Republican Party says are not true in that state or in four other states where Democrats are waging similar battles.

Here’s a look at the cases being heard around the country:

Let’s see... a political party suing to deny plaintiffs their access to due process. Wonder how that will work for them.

Remember when the Democrats accused Trump supporters of instigating violence against Hillary supporters when IN ACTUALITY it was Team Hillary WHO WAS HIRING THE THUGS as O’Keefe had revealed?

SO it is intimidation when we are trying to prevent the FRAUD?

It will be war on TUES NOV 8th...

I truly fear lots of violence because we will try to stop the obvious fraud and they will spin it as we are trying to stop “innocent folks” from voting...

Scary times Free-Peeps...

how are voters being intimidated?
Try telling a big black woman she can’t come in or try and intimidate her.
We all know that there is no intimidation, this is about them wanting to carry on their voter fraud as they know they would lose every election with their fraud.

This Ohio judge just prefers the observing to proceed by professionals, who know what they are doing.

And, if I recollect, this guy was an Ohio judge in 2008. Perhaps the same judge?

"Yup, gotta make sure each and every democrat can vote as many times as they wish."

The DHS will bus illegal aliens to the polls to vote for Hillary in droves AND NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO STOP THEM.

Our Forefathers would be handling this MUCH differently.

Shouldn’t that be “Democrats intimating Republicans?”

They have to keep the observers out so they can make up the millions of votes

remembering back in 2008 when black panther members dressed in military garb were harassing old white men and women going to vote in philly, this is ok.

The country is at the point where the most peaceful avenue is a break up, as the nation is too polarized, and the divide is too profound, and unless there is a break there will inevitably be a civil war. The country is at the boiling point. Reconciliation is all but impossible now.
