Dear Sean:
The other day Alan Colmes, ignorant of the facts once again, criticized a Republican poll watcher in Arkansas for “intimidation” of blacks. Knowing the source of this story (the lying Democrats), Alan should have known better than to report this incident without finding out what really happened. Apparently he doesn’t know that a poll watcher in Arkansas is supposed to challenge poll workers when they don’t request IDs from voters. And if a potential voter presents an out-of-state drivers license, this is a valid reason for a poll watcher to challenge the ballot. And when voters enter the polls with campaign stickers, buttons, political t-shirts, etc., which are not allowed inside polling placers, a poll watcher is merely doing his or her duty in taking photographs of these illegal actions. These legitimate actions by a poll watcher are exactly what Alan Colmes has erroneously called “initimidation.” This outrageous assertion is certainly not fair and balanced reporting.
The fact is that it was not the voters, but the poll watcher who was being intimidated. NAACP operatives and other Democrats attempted to keep her from fulfilling her responsibilities, and she was forced to leave, while being subjected to an NAACP mob shouting and chanting at her. She then went to Jay Dickey’s office and told them what had happened, and two of the people there escorted her back over to the courthouse. From that point on, the people in charge generally made her job as difficult as they could and even called the sheriff to get her to leave. However, he allowed this courageous poll worker to go back in, after verifying with other officials that she did indeed have the right to be there and to do the things she was doing.
Such intimidation of poll watchers is outrageous and should not be permitted. Voter fraud by Democrats is rampant and is the most serious problem with our election system. It is essential to have poll watchers to monitor voting in order to have any chance to identify illegal voting at the polls. However, Democrats don’t want poll watchers interfering with their illegal voting, so they falsely cry “intimidation.” Then liberals like Alan Colmes are more than happy to take up the cause and be dupes for the Democrats, so that voter fraud can continue abated. This is outrageous, and Alan Colmes should be ashamed of himself.
Sean, we implore you to tell the other side of this false "intimidation" story. We are counting on good guys such as you to tell everyone what really happened.
