Citing a report from one of her “Nerds,” MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry said the real goal of the allegedly non-partisan voter observation group True The Vote is to tie up this year’s elections in the court system.

They are there to gather "evidence" to de-legitimize the election

I saw a Freeper tell his pals that when they're at the polls--don't just sit there--have a clipboard and write on it and really get in there.

Yeah, you freak--disrupt the elections and bring in all of your hate and paranoia into the polling stations and stand there and jot down your awesome observations--Ohhh, such a proud patriot!

What a JOKE!!!!

Poll workers who have been working these polls for YEARS and DECADES will be rolling their eyes at these fools. Reminds me of Spongebob when he wanted to be the HALL MONITOR!!

I think this whole thing will be a total wash. These guys with their clip boards will see nothing and and document nothing--because voter fraud is so freakishly rare. 99 percent of Americans who vote are just responsible, average citizens who love their country.

They will have NOTHING to report. They are fools who needed to feel important, so they signed up with "True The Vote" because Glenn Beck cast a magical spell on them and convinced them that they would be important and historical patriots who would be so extra special if they did so.

OMG! Please do not worry about these idiots. Most of them will leave their polling place because they are bored. Nothing is going to happen. Nothing to report. These tea-party jerks are half-witted dumb asses--compared to the quality people who walk into those polling places to vote. They are not going to listen to these fools or be bothered by them.

If anything, the story will be that these True The Vote hall monitors will make a nuisance of themselves and get themselves thrown out.

This really is ridiculous.

or confronted by one of Obama's lawyers, oh I'm looking forward to seeing cell phone videos of this!

I think they want to repeat their successful disruptions of the health care debates but it's another era now

You cannot go into court and say, "Because I think it happened!".

They won't even get a hearing.

It will happen. Hopefully it would end like all of Orly Taites cases do.
