It's time to get the Kenyan out of office
- Belligerent citizens demanding the right to personally inspect the voting process and yelling "shut up" at the top of their lungs when election officials tell them that only official poll observers can do that.
- Official poll observers who have been improperly trained by the groups they represent and think it's their job to interrogate voters rather than just watch.
- Long lines, which means that a lot of people end up waiting outside the designated no-electioneering zones, getting harangued by campaign workers.
- Shouting matches between Republican and Democratic campaign workers -- and sometimes voters standing in line -- that can involve name-calling, threatening gestures, and the summoning of law enforcement.
- A guy driving a tractor-trailer bed filled with effigies of Democratic officials, including President Barack Obama, with nooses around their neck. (Federal officials are looking into that one, which took place atat an early voting center in Eastern North Carolina on Thursday.)
The fact that all these incidents have occurred at a few, tightly supervised early voting centers is giving state officials reason to worry that things could be much worse when regular polling stations open for business.

Should the great President O get reelected blacks need to be careful...I suspect there will be some crazy white republican go on a rampage trying to kill or maim innocent people...given their meltdown over a black man in office the past 4 yrs I wouldn't be surprised...and as I've stated before...their vitriol for O is ALL about race...because if they voted for Bush...and considering how he ed up the global economy..O should have been a welcomed sight to their eyes...like Bush all republicans that voted for him must take responsibility for taking part in crashing the global economy....
Need a job? Pretty sure MSNBC would hire you on the spot.
Obama is quite safe. We've seen his VP.
OK Boutons.
Just who decides who gets to oversee the process?
Nobody?
Just how much chaos would that bring when a thousand people decide to descend on the process?
You need to get informed.
The Voting Rights Act defines federal poll observers, which can be requested from the Department of Justice and States' Board of Elections can also authorize poll observers. The role of state poll observers is delineated in either State law or State directives.
State poll observers need to be pre-approved by the State's Board of Elections. In almost every case, they're there to merely observe, and cannot disrupt proceedings. In case they spot any irregularity, they must leave the polling place and report to the Board of Elections, which takes the case from there.
This isn't some random where an idiot walks in and decides what's right or not.
I was responding to Boutons. Explain that to him. Not me. I was hoping he would understand what happened if anyone who wanted top was allowed.
It going to be wild ride next few days or weeks. There will be many recounts. No matter who win, other side will claim it was stolen. I have bought popcorn for this.
Democrats, Republicans lawyer-up for U.S. election
With the specter of the 2000 presidential election as a backdrop, the campaigns of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have legions of lawyers ready to swamp polling stations Tuesday to make sure every vote counts for their respective candidate.
The main fear is a repeat of the election 12 years ago, when Republican George W. Bush lost the popular vote but won more electoral college votes than Democrat Al Gore after an acrimonious vote recount in Florida. The matter was resolved more than a month after the election by the US Supreme Court.
“My impression is that nationwide, both camps put together armies of thousands of attorneys across the country,” said Edward Foley, director of the election law program at Ohio State University. “It’s been an increasing trend since 2000.”
Most of the lawyers have been dispatched to the so-called battleground states which historically have switched allegiance between the two political parties.
The practice of sending legions of litigators to closely contested states “has become a quadrennial practice since the 2000 Florida debacle,” said Richard Hasen, a professor at University of California, Irvine School of Law.
“Campaigns know that in close elections they may have to fight over recounts or go to court,” said Hasen, author of “The Voting Wars: From Florida 2000 to the Next Election Meltdown.”

Republicans Whip Up Fears of Rigged Voting Machines to Delegitimize a Likely Obama Win
The Republican National Committee has opened another front in its propaganda war to discredit potential election results in a half-dozen swing states. The RNC sent a letter to top state election officials this week saying that it has received reports of electronic votes that are cast for Mitt Romney immediately turning into votes for Barack Obama.
The top election officials in two of those states—Nevada and North Carolina—quickly wrote back letters calling the RNC’s charge “irresponsible and unfortunate,” and based on little more than “rumors and Internet hysteria.” Both gave detailed explanations why the RNC’s alleged vote-hopping scenario was little more than a blip; they said machine errors occur but noted that voters are given multiple chances to review and change their choices.

Repugs admit, with no doubt, the Bishop Gecko and his cult underwear have lost, so they plan, as Repugs love to do, deny the data, not trust the arithmetic, and prove to their ignorant bubba base they Barry The Messiah stole the WH.
