Sorry; gotta call BS. You said every one that was challenged was Republican.
It's well beyond anecdotal. It's extreme bias.

Oh, and Provisional Ballots have far more questions. Basically a provisional ballot requires you fill out the form that registers you to vote. It is much more intensive. It would be silly to offer that to people who were too impatient to fill out the challenge form. (Although we did offer, because we have to.)
I call ignorance on your part. Every person challenged was republican. Again, it is not difficult in our county to tell who is or isn't affiliated politically with you. There are less than 1% affiliated libertarian, about 67-70% republican, and close to 17% D with the rest Unaffiliated. Politics in our county are like football in Texas, practically a religion. Everybody knows the players. However, they seemed to only challenge those they knew for sure. If they knew every person's affiliation I'm pretty sure the challenges would have been closer to perfect. 40% of the people voting on election day (when over 65% vote by mail in our county), really isn't much. We have fewer people in my precinct than I had in my High School class...

This is the kind of shit that went on in 2008, and Duhla is worried that some poll worker allegedly *gasp* "spoke" to a voter? ...For real??
You people fucking know no bounds, do you?
I guess just have a hard time believing (1) that these poll watchers risked committing class A misdemeanors by filling out fraudulent challenges against 40% of the voters lined up to vote who all happened to be Republican because its a small town; (2) that the challenged voters were given ballots, which were filled out, and were subsequently challenged after the fact; (3) that the challenged voters refused to answer five extremely simple questions and take an oath allowing them to vote notwithstanding the challenge; and (4) that, notwithstanding that it is an extremely easy process, challenged voters who inexplicably filled out a ballot before being challenged refused to fill out a second, provisional ballot (assuming they didn't want to answer five simple questions) because it would somehow put them out.
None of it is the least bit rational.
None of it is the least bit rational.
So then, nearly everyone is a Republican and if poll workers stopped people on legitimate grounds, they would be all republicans?
So this is like Nixon supporters complaining in the 70's that only white presidents are threatened with impeachment?
Yeah.
Ok, well, there you have it.
Out here in the real world where there is a good mix of parties at a polling place, I vote in the office in the development right next to mine, so we've got two developments voting there, and they're not large.
No one knows anything.
Skin color? Really can't hide that.
So give it a rest please Damo.
Well, all I can tell you is what happened.
I think what may be part of the problem is that, reading it back, it sounds like they were there all day doing it. But they weren't. They challenged voters in the line at the time. It happened about three times during the day. The poll watchers would come in, get sworn in, use signature cards to check lists against their list of voters they had, then would challenge some voters as they came through. (Yes, about 40% of the line, of course that sounds like a ton, but remember that the entire county has less people in it than most small cities, it was only one precinct, most voters use mail in ballots about 65% in fact.)
Seriously, the story sounded a ton more awful when I read it back than what I meant it to sound. All in all, about 30 voters were challenged that day.
I think the problem is that according to your own numbers, only 17% of your polling place are D's.
And if only 30 people were challenged (and we can consider that this means only 12 really were) then how surprising is it that they were all (meaning probably 10 of the 12) were Republicans?
This was a total bs story Damo that you told in order to deflect from the systemic, institutionalized, continuing, and widespread minority vote suppression. A continuing stain on this nation.

While there are certainly racists out there and that 'email' looks friggin horrid... there are no names on the email, no information as to WHO wrote the email or how that person is connected (supposedly) to the tea party group mentioned.
As for what Damo is talking about... he was not talking about white suppression... he was talking about a situation where Dems were challenging Reps voter registration. Do try to keep up.

LMAO.... Chicago politics.... enough said
But Damo, congrats, you did get your click count up with this diversionary tactic.
Living up to your rep as a big click-whore. I'm the one who christened you that btw. I hate to see Zapp get all the credit! Sometimes people ask me about you, and whenever they do I say, eh, he's alright but he's a real click-whore. It's really caught on!

I guess those minority folks don't have digital recording devices to document any of this suppression?
"Do try to keep up." I always picture you pounding away at your keyboard with your shoulders hunched over and snickering when you write that.
But I am talking about systemic supression of the minority vote in this country.
Do try to keep up!

$30 shouldn't be hard to come by for these folks, that's about the price of a crack rock, isn't it? Duhla, you're a crack whore, isn't that about right? Anyway, with technology available at such a low price, you'd think they could documents at least one or two of these incidents of minority suppression, being that's a pretty big deal in America.
I guess you should have read Nigel's post before hitting send.
Talk about dumb crack whores huh Dixie?
You should be wearing the stupid whore button today Dixie.

The law I posted is limited to Texas, and given that the DOJ Voting Right Division was run by the very people that perpetrate the "voter fraud" fraud for the past 8 years and didn't really give a shit about minority vote suppression, it isn't surprising that we haven't heard about this stuff for a while. I expect that will change.
