Voter Harassment: Officials Try to Prohibit Woman Wearing Pro-life Shirt From Voting [Wayne County]

witness account

[Notwithstanding]

Yesterday a woman had to call her attorney in order to vote. Election officials in a Wayne County precinct refused to let the woman vote because she was wearing a pro-life t-shirt. After her attorney explained the law, she was allowed to vote. Meanwhile, the attorney also convinced the officials to require union poll watchers (who were sitting on polling place premises wearing candidate t-shirts and parking their cars with candidate stickers on site) to move to another are and park their cars offsite.

[NB: The law prohibits any form of campaigning for individual candidates or specific ballot measures, but does NOT prohibit other first amendment activity such as wearing things like union, environmental or pro-life t-shirts or buttons]

Forgive my ignorance, but where is Wayne Co.? What state?

[Notwithstanding]

MICHIGAN (Detroit and surrounding area)

I'm just shocked... SHOCKED I tell you!

Did they have 110% registered voter turnout too?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Vote early, vote often, even after you are dead.

I'll insert the obligatory and all-too-common comment...

"If the political roles were reversed, ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBC would be all over this."

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Thanks for this account. Amazing but true. As in the Clinton years - the chief enemy of this country was not the Terrorists who want to kill us all - but prolifers who only want to save the lives of children!

Corrupt Criminal Union Thugs and others who tow the HillaryClintonLedDemonratic Party line....are more than willing to deny All our Constitutional RIGHTS if they can get away with it.

God bless this woman for having the courage to speak up for unborn babies despite the intimidation she received and God bless her attorney who was at the ready to stop this outrage! (Attorneys ARE GOOD GUYS when they take stands like this!)

How much did Conyer's win by with such a high turnout?

This lady should sue Wayne County but good. Any idiot knows that you can wear anything you want if all you are doing is voting! It's the First Amendment, stupid!!! You can even wear a candidate button, hat, t-shirt, etc. if you are just voting and leaving. I've done it in every election. The law only prohibits electioneering, i.e. standing around with a candidate's name on you or handing out partisan literature or putting up signs, within a certain distance of the polling place. Of course, even the latter is routinely violated by Democrats and their union thugs.

I had to run the gauntlet of at least 100 people from dem campaigns in the parking lot. It looked like a rally. You have to be at least 100 feet away from the polling center with your literature. No signs allowed but this place was a circus of signs, t shirts and kids chasing me. I had to RUN not walk, to get away from them.

Yes, this was in Wayne County.

So it looks like while stuffing the boxes for Algore, they added a few for John "In doing my job as a Congressman, I lie all the time" Coyners too!

Thanks...

It looks like Stone got 6061 more votes than W did in Wayne County!

[The Energizer]

Sheesh. We may have to send Jimmy Carter there to observe elections like he does in Third World countries. On second thought . . .

[WyldKard]

Well well well. Wayne County. Why am I not surprised. I used to live in Ann Arbor, over in neighboring Washtenaw county, the nerve center for Communist thought in the US. Not surprised a bit...

[Pushi]

Why doesn't someone get the federal election people involved in this lawbreaking activity by the Rats.

[CdMGuy]

The question you should be asking is why didn't the Bush Justice Department have observers in all of the places they suspected voter fraud in the 2000 election. Or are they going to just let this fraud slide and get cheated again in 2004?

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

Of course, even the latter is routinely violated by Democrats and their union thugs

In our neighborhood the same goes for the Republicans...
