Armed Militia Group To Confront African-American Democrats At Polling Places In Wisconsin
A self-described armed militia group in Wisconsin plans to target African American Democrats and responded to the controversy in the typical way: You’re a racist if you call out racism. “We prefer our people be armed,” Wisconsin Poll Watcher Militia’s Facebook page reads. “Some will be heading to some of Milwaukee, Racine, and Beloit’s worst areas. We will be armed with a list of people to look for at each location.”
The dialogue was tagged on Twitter, then posted on PoliticusUSA.
A photo in the group’s Facebook page shows exactly the type of areas they will be targeting.
The group responded on Facebook saying, “We can assure you that we will be targeting all democrats, not just black ones. If you think we meant blacks only it is because you are a racist who thinks the only people with warrants are black. We know better because we have a nice list of people who are wanted democrat activist types. Most are actually white. We will target everyone.”
In the same breath that he said he’ll target “everyone” he said only Democrats.
PoliticusUSA reports:
The fact that they are targeting a specific group of individuals based on race and perceived political affiliation means that their operation is a violation of the Voting Rights Act. According to the Justice Department, “The administration of elections is chiefly a function of state government. However, federal authorities may become involved where there are possible violations of federal law. In cases where intimidation, coercion, or threats are made or attempts to intimidate, threaten or coerce are made to any person for voting or attempting to vote, the Department of Justice can consider whether there is federal jurisdiction to bring civil claims or criminal charges under federal law. Depending on the nature of the allegations, they may fall into the jurisdiction of different parts of the Department. If you have information about allegations of intimidation, please contact us.”
These are Scott Walker’s supporters. How terribly embarrassing.
Contact the Department of Justice here. Because someone has to be watching this armed militia while they intimidate voters. November 4th is right around the corner. Don’t be intimidated.

Not Jim Crow, though. Just simple, good old ‘murican poll watching in urban areas with high concentrations of “them”.

Personally, I think they need to require every citizen over the age of 18 to vote – have polling over the weekend and open Saturday and Sunday for voters who were registered too late for a mail in ballot and have mail in for everyone else…but then I think we need to have real people worthy of the position as candidates, federally funded campaigns only, allowing no commercials, robocalls or mailers and only 6 debates held within 6 weeks of the election. Silly me, I actually think there is a chance for real people as servants of the people instead of over 300 Wall St shills in Congress and two corporate whores sitting in the WH like we have had for 2 centuries
Carla Akins September 20th, 2014 at 20:56
I am all good with that, isn’t it very similar to what they do in Australia? If you could somehow work in taxing the churches and the NFL, that would be great.
Cosmic_Surfer September 21st, 2014 at 18:42
Kind of a mix of multiple countries (weekend voting; compulsory voting, etc)

Pay reparations to their victims? What am I saying!?! That would require them to have souls.

Well that would rule many rwnjs out. I just went to this poll watchers’ Facebook page and it’s somehow magically disappeared since I wrote this pot. I guess they’re going to start another one using another name now.

Gee, just like they used to do. That worked so well then, it will certainly work now.

tracey marie September 20th, 2014 at 21:30
legally they are not allowed within 100 feet of the entrance, they are also not allowed to approach, talk to or intimidate people waiting in line to vote. Both are felonies

They are not frightening anyone. It would just increase voter turn-out. People are tired of their fear mongering.

Crazy people with guns targeting African American voters? You obviously haven’t been watching the news lately.. It seems almost impossible to arrest someone for shooting an African American, sadly.

I don’t condone this action but it looks as though these guys are finally fighting back against groups which have been doing these acts of terrorism for decades, and you know who they are.

The terrorism you’re talking about must be the Klan terror that prevented Black people from voting.
I don’t see how armed racists duplicating that activity is somehow “fighting back”.
Red Mann September 21st, 2014 at 00:16
No, who are they?
greenfloyd September 21st, 2014 at 01:24
Problem is, the last place you’re going to find a real criminal is a polling place! What this “militia” will come up with is people with traffic fines unpaid, or for a little pot possesion or some other minor issue. “Terrorism?” Really!
Wisconsin Democrats need to take a pro-active position, advocate amnesty periods so people can clear up these issues without facing immediate incaraceration. Civic leaders need to instruct their police to not interfer in voting.
raincheck September 21st, 2014 at 07:19
Well said!
They tried using billboards near the polling places as well.. to make people think they were going to get arrested if they showed up there
Thames September 21st, 2014 at 15:21
How absurd. That is, unless I’m unaware that you are a great prophet of some kind. You can tell exactly what people have done and what laws they have Broken. WOW! How about you going to a voting place and point out to these people that you now what they did., and then give them a chance to repent before turning them in. I mean after all, you being aware of the kind of people attending, it would be your public responsibility to do as you said should be done. Perhaps you could prophesy over me? Oh wait. Your a Democrat. I know exactly what it would be.
