REPUGS sent to try to disrupt and intimidate. I am a five foot 2 inch female, but I was loaded for bear even last week. A guy was walking through the lines videotaping and after standing there more than two hours, I called him out and demanded to know who he worked for and who had given him permission to videotape within the grocery store only feet from the polling booths. It turn out he was some documentarian with a Croatian (I think) accent and was totally not understanding what I was asking. An American woman came up shortly and I explained that this was a tactic some were using to intimidate immigrants and others from voting and wanted to know who they represented. Turns out they were probably on the up and up, but the woman knew and was sensitive to my point and took the guy out to explain. I think the crowd was sort of amused at my assertiveness & insistence, but, like I said, I was already loaded for bear...!
Be safe guys.... DOn't get arrested... Make it clear who is the disruptor and who is just trying to persue their constitutional right to vote. But, stand your ground.... Get it on video or film or cell phone to 1-866-yourvote, if you are confronted. DEMAND to have their id before answering ANY of their questions. You can also refuse to answer until you get inside to discuss with a poll worker. In fact, I would not answer ANYTHING outside in line for one of these asswipes. And, look out for those who may speak little or poor English or others who may appear more susceptible to bullying.
