Montgomery Road in Houston, [B]NAACP members were seen advocating for President Barack Obama according to volunteer poll watchers on location at the time[/B]. [B]According to Eve Rockford, a poll watcher trained by voter integrity group True the Vote[/B], three NAACP members showed up to the 139 precinct location with 50 cases of bottled water and began handing bottles out to people standing in line. While wearing NAACP labeled clothing, members were "stirring the crowd" and talking to voters about flying to Ohio to promote President Barack Obama.[/quote] I guess these are the good freedom-loving observers, as opposed to the Marxist vote rigging observers

Don't let them fool you OP [video=youtube;drQETQ2iprU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drQETQ2iprU[/video] Same thing, but with black people

I thought telling people who to vote for at polling places isn't allowed.

[QUOTE=Hidole555;38317188]I thought telling people who to vote for at polling places isn't allowed.[/QUOTE] It is. That's why they're not saying "Vote Obama". They're saying "We think you should vote Obama." The difference is miniscule, but it skirts the law, thus, is legal.

[QUOTE=Hidole555;38317188]I thought telling people who to vote for at polling places isn't allowed.[/QUOTE] Suppression and intimidation are not allowed. Handing out waterbottles and saying "Vote for Obama dude." is allowed.

The article is about an observer trained by True the Vote, a Tea Party organisation. Fox News was never against True the Vote, they were against the OSCE (frequently mislabling them as UN). This isn't a Fox Flip Flop, just Fox Hypocrisy.

[QUOTE=Jawalt;38317943]Handing out waterbottles and saying "Vote for Obama dude." is allowed.[/QUOTE] Not so in some states. [QUOTE=http://politicalpractices.mt.gov/content/5campaignfinance/Electioneering100ft.rule.pdf] Electioneering includes personal persuasion and the display or distribution of campaign materials. Offering or distributing food, drink, or any other material beneﬁt in order to encourage recognition, support, or opposition to a candidate or issue is also prohibited. (44.10.311, ARM ) [/QUOTE] If it was outside the 100' distance, it's fine, but too close to the polling place and it's illegal.

I know in Canada it isn't allowed. It lead to people beating up people who voted against their party.

While Canadian electoral law allows representatives of the political parties to be present in polling stations, nobody present at the polling station is permitted to wear or carry anything identifying themselves as a member of a political party or supporter or opponent of any political cause. This includes voters. Partisan officials are also not permitted to campaign immediately in front of a polling station, nor may anyone bring any campaign literature into the station. The equipment used by polling staff has to meet strict colour criteria. Staff may be refused work if their clothing is of a "partisan colour". - Wikipedia I have yet to see any local politician at a polling station, but otherwise I can back all of this up.

What kind of name is "True the Vote" How do is grammar

[QUOTE=TH89;38324231]What kind of name is "True the Vote" How do is grammar[/QUOTE] True the vote, so fraud not is the count vote.

[/QUOTE] Fuck third parties right? polling staff equipment should have to be invisible so that no party could ever have the same colors.

I read some of the comments on the site. Never again.

[QUOTE=zakedodead;38324569]Fuck third parties right? polling staff equipment should have to be invisible so that no party could ever have the same colors.[/QUOTE]Err, what?

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;38324624]Err, what?[/QUOTE] Saying not to use partisan colors establishes those parties as more important than the rest. If you're going to not use partisan colors then you better not use any colors.

[QUOTE=zakedodead;38324666]Saying not to use partisan colors establishes those parties as more important than the rest. If you're going to not use partisan colors then you better not use any colors.[/QUOTE]That makes zero sense. That's like saying "I'm not allowed to smoke in here? Well then why not just ban breathing!"

That is a great site! I saw the information is very usefule! [img]http://bookstoday.info/ho/god.jpg[/img] [img]http://bookstoday.info/lo/dark.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;38324771]That makes zero sense. That's like saying "I'm not allowed to smoke in here? Well then why not just ban breathing!"[/QUOTE] It's more like saying "I'm not allowed to wear these team colors? Why not ban these other teams colors also"

[QUOTE=zakedodead;38324914]It's more like saying "I'm not allowed to wear these team colors? Why not ban these other teams colors also"[/QUOTE]Pretty sure that is exactly what that says. You can't show colors for any party.

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;38324771]That makes zero sense. That's like saying "I'm not allowed to smoke in here? Well then why not just ban breathing!"[/QUOTE] I'm okay with the banishment of breathing.

[QUOTE=zakedodead;38324914]It's more like saying "I'm not allowed to wear these team colors? Why not ban these other teams colors also"[/QUOTE] Um... I don't think you understood. You're not allowed to wear colours that seem to show support for ANY of the candidates or parties.
