And the MSM has had dozens of reports saying poll watching is racist and horrible.
In other words, let them cheat all they want.
Was a hit piece on this specific watchdog group tonight on ABC.
And not one person there had a cell phone camera. Call me skeptical.
Someone is worried they won’t be able to cheat like they normally do.
It is ONLY voter fraud if republicans do it...
I believe it’s illegal to video record within 100 ft. from a polling place.
“And not one person there had a cell phone camera. Call me skeptical.”
Watchers are not allowed to have cell phones/cameras or any recording device in a pooling place. Only the judge can make a phone call.

Why would they? They are government pukes. It's the people's responsibility to maintain liberty. Isn't there a Tea Party organization in TX? Why didn't they protect the sanctity of the polls? Why didn't they take over the polling site? Some think saluting the flag as the enemy sets it afire is patriotism. It's really not. |
Poll watchers need to wear go-pro cameras on their heads.
Assistant County Attorney Doug Ray disputed that account. "It wasn't like they were taking control of the place. It wasn't like we did nothing about it. That's just not true at all," Ray said.Some NAACP representatives at the polling place were being disruptive, Ray said, voicing their displeasure with the long waiting times for disabled voters and arranging for some of these voters to be moved to the front of the line.
County Clerk Stan Stanart said his understanding was that the only potential legal violations Friday would have been line-jumping or the presence of people inside the polling place who were not poll workers, poll watchers or voters.
What's this "we"? Was Ray there as a poll watcher or was he actually an official poll worker (as a private citizen on his own time)?
I would submit that if the situation did not change -- ie, that these law-breaking NAACP members were not escorted immediately from the premises -- that a) nothing was done about the situation and b) they were indeed taking control of the place.
That’s a good point about people from our side needing to watch the polls, no point in ceding it to them, and they’re certainly not trustworthy. Just look at what the NBP are willing to get up to even when they know there are cameras on them. It’s as if they know whose side the government is on, and they do. Things are being arranged so that the law-abiding are at a disadvantage, always.

There’s no law against taking out a cell phone and taking a video of this stuff, is there? Several of us have camera phones.
I believe it is illegal in SC, they claim that it could be a form of voter intimidation. I've often thought that it would be great to get video of the same vans dropping off the same voters at multiple polling places.
It’s my understanding that in many states, filming or taking photographs inside of a polling place is illegal.
Watch groups are cautioned that you cannot film inside the polling place or you could end up being the one arrested. They further instruct how to take down a written report.
It sounds like maybe we should be having poll watchers both inside and outside of polling locations.
No cell phone or cameras with 100 ft in TX.

Audio recordings?
In Texas, it’s illegal to use any camera or recording device in a polling location. It’s also illegal to an electronic communications device within 100 fee.
Yes there is a law! You can't take pictures inside the polling place. You can't use your phone in the polling place.
I don't know about filming from 100 feet away.
I do know that if I was standing outside the polling place and a bus drove up, I would film everyone getting off and going in the polling place. Especially the driver and the organizer. Then find out if there are others who have filmed a bus at a different place and compare. Maybe evidence to copy to the local DA.
