Email from the Barrett campaign re: Texas thuggery in Wisconsin

[annabanana]

The "King Street Patriots," a group of Texas extremists, have arrived in Wisconsin. They believe that voter registration for the poor is "un-American," and would "destroy the country." They already came to Wisconsin once and intimidated recall petition signers -- and now they've dropped so-called "election observers" into polling locations across the state.

After emailing threats and racial slurs ahead of the 2010 election failed to stop courageous voters from turning out to vote in Houston, the King Street Patriots showed up at the polls and intimidated voters directly. So many complaints were filed that the United States Department of Justice was called in to investigate.

But it doesn't stop with the King Street Patriots. Just yesterday, Republican Attorney General and Scott Walker buddy J.B. Van Hollen announced that he would also be sending field teams to "monitor" polls in mostly Democratic wards.

Scott Walker and his cronies are looking desperate, and will do anything to avoid the loss that is coming their way. Our latest poll shows that the race is dead even, and could even come down to a single vote, making it crucial that we stop the suppression efforts and ensure that every vote is counted.

They are asking for a few more shekels here:

2. These idiots are rom my neck of the woods

We had problems with these idiots trying to intimidate votes in 2010. The DOJ evidently came down and watched these idiots.

In Texas, a poll watcher has to be a registered voter and able to vote in the county where the election is taking place. Can you have out of state poll watchers in Wisconsin?

4. Can you have out of state poll watchers in Wisconsin?

I'm told we can, but it's the opinion of a local official (Democrat). In any case, these thugs can hang out 300 feet away and do what they want, free speech and all that.

We will not be intimidated.
