Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) is asking the Department of Justice to investigate whether tea party groups are intimidating black and Hispanic voters in her district.
Jackson Lee has asked Attorney General Eric Holder to send poll monitors to her district on Nov. 2 to make sure the King Street Patriots, a local conservative voter turnout and tea party group, aren’t stopping people from voting.
“Many of these incidents of voter intimidation have been occurring in predominately minority neighborhoods and have been directed at African-Americans and Latinos,” she said in the letter. “It is unconscionable to think that anyone would deliberately employ the use of such forceful and intimidating tactics in 2010 to undermine the fundamental, constitutional right to vote.”
“I urge you to order an immediate investigation into these incidents and call for the Department of Justice to send poll monitors to Harris County immediately to ensure a safe and neutral voting environment during the Nov. 2 election,” Jackson Lee wrote.
Lee says the tea party group is sending in poll watchers who have been trained to aggressively monitor voters by standing directly behind them.
The King Street Patriots have also gone after Jackson Lee, saying Jackson Lee is asking for votes right outside polling places.

What a numskull, there has to be basic testing of these who have used skin color to wedge themselves in the house,along with drug testing in that things case.
Mustn’t do anything to discourage the felons and illegals from voting Dem as they always do.
Sheila Jackson Lee is an embarrassment to Texas. Send her back to New York City where her ignorant Socialism would blend in much better.

Course, Sheila's a humongous hypocrite like the rest of the libs, so I'm not surprised.
The current “justice” department, the one that set black panther criminals free, would be only too happy to find a few White people and arrest them for something that they didn’t do.
With the new construction in Sheila’s district, it’s a lot more diverse than it used to be.
I, on the other hand, are concerned about voter intimidation of all eligible Americans. Part of that concern includes the dilution of said votes by way of illegal voting and fraud.
Who is the uniter and who is the divider?
I think my son is in her district, is it around Spring?
The only reason SJL is doing this is because she got caught electioneering at a polling place by a Tea Partier. Now she wants to keep prying eyes away..Nothing to see move along.
What constitutes a “tea party person”, you dolt Sheila J Lee?
********************************************************
To her? A white person....
Jackson Lee wants them to keep an eye on the Tea Party folks, just after they check out that flag our men put in MARS (she wanted to Mars rover to “go over there where they planted the flag.”)
So, just out of curiosity, what are you watching then?
This map doesn't give you any sense of scale, but trust me, it's a huge area.
How do you identify a tp’r, Sheila? Racist hag.
The New Black Panthers (Quannell X) say they are going to be watching the poll watchers.
