Voter Intimidation In The Township Of Red Springs (Shawano Co. Of Course):
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 06:28 PM by Dinger
I had my personal day today, and I used it to get out the vote. On a break, I heard that voters (primarily Native American voters) were being intimidated by poll workers there, who evidently do not deny their party affiliation(said they were ineligible when they weren't, etc.) and some actually left the polling place. Two lawyers were immediately dispatched to the scene and will remain there for the duration. I reported it to ALL local papers and television stations, and some in the Green Bay Area too, and this also includes CNN. Not sure if it will get reported, but I e-mailed and called all of the media outlets I could. I'm on it, as they say.
