GOP will attempt to keep Democratic voters from Voting.
Remember when Republican thugs pounded on the doors during the Florida recount? Remember the Republican thug leader shouting "Shut it down", and then the thugs stopping the recount. They plan the same kind of crap this year. In Florida, Ohio and other battle ground states.

The Republicans will do everything they can to keep Democrats from exercising their right to vote. What are Dems going to do about it?

3. In Florida they apparently have a right to approach voters
within 50 ft of the polling site. A loophole in the law, they say, that only pertains to early voting.

5. But but but....They said democrats were supposed to be a bunch of pussys.
Hahahaha...I'm with you, I don't think personal intimidation tactics at the polls are going to be effective.

It may be, however, if they claim to be on the lookout for people that owe court fines or child support payments as they did in Florida in 2000.

Hard to guess what they'll do this year to stop dems in minority neighborhoods from voting. I'm sure there IS a trick or two up their sleeve, however.

It could be falsly claimed that the computer voting machines in mostly democrat precincts were "hacked into" thereby rendering ALL those votes suspect.
