Using the ridiculous allegation that GOP poll watchers are really there to discourage minorities from voting, the Democratic National Committee filed a request Wednesday, asking a judge to block the GOP from supporting Trump’s recruitment of poll watchers.
The DNC claimed in their filing that the recruitment of poll watchers is a coordinated effort to intimidate voters, and say it is violating a court order case from 35 years ago, when the party was forbidden from engaging in voter security measures back in 1982.
The Republican National Committee said the filing is baseless.
“The filing is completely meritless,” said Lindsay Walters, RNC spokeswoman. “Just as in all prior elections in which the consent decree was in effect, the RNC strictly abides by the consent decree and does not take part directly or indirectly in any efforts to prevent or remedy vote fraud. Nor do we coordinate with the Trump campaign or any other campaign or party organization in any efforts they may make in this area.”
The Democratic filing alleges that by Trump’s statement of the elections being rigged is false.
“Trump has falsely and repeatedly told his supporters that the November 8 election will be ‘rigged’ based upon fabricated claims of voter fraud in ’certain areas,’ according to the filing. “Unsurprisingly, those ’certain areas’ are exclusively communities in which large minority voting populations reside.”
Bloomberg reports that the case is identified as Democratic National Committee v. Republican National Committee, 81-cv-03876, U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey (Newark).
Perhaps the DNC has forgotten that in the 2008 election, members of the Black Panthers stood outside polling places in Philadelphia, wearing all black and carrying billy clubs.
Please someone bring up photos of the individuals standing outside of Philly precincts and tell me they weren’t trying to intimidate GOP voters.
Smells like...Desperation.
I’m just an old man walking with a cane who will just be standing around talking with some old friends.
Ping!

— I must have been in a coma when the DNC objected to this behavior.

I've heard about this but don't know the details. Why would any political party agree to anything so ludicrous?? It this is true, it just means the Republican Party has long outlived its shelf life.
There’s no election fraud. So you don’t even need to look. Stop looking. (stamp foot) Don’t look! Quit looking at me! Mommy Judge! He’s looking at me doing election fraud, I mean, not doing election fraud that he wouldn’t see if he wasn’t looking at me!
I have a feeling we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg of the ugliness that’s coming.
They are at War with decent law abiding hard working America.
Citizen’s groups need to file a counter class action in federal court against the DNC for this latest attempt to rig the elections.

Yes, where is that photo of the Black Panthers standing outside polling places, holding weapons .. and many, many people did not vote because of fear of being attacked.
But, the DemocRATS are afraid of a few poll “watchers” ..??
Always the double standard .. and what they complain about us .. is really what they are doing themselves .. but it’s even worse than what they are accusing us of doing.
Do the DNC have poll watchers?
YES! They're known as Thugs or more specifically Union Thugs, Gang Bangers, Etc.....
I voted ‘early’ today in a small town in western North Carolina (Hickory/Lenoir/Morganton triangle). The ONLY person I was ‘hustled’ by was a woman in the parking lot who offered me a DEMOCRAT Voting Guide.
Fie on all this made-up Republican bully nonsense!
There is no low that is too low for the Democrats to stoop to.
