LAS VEGAS (AP) — Democrats in Nevada are citing memories of post-Civil War voter intimidation by the Ku Klux Klan in a bid to get a federal judge to order people supporting Donald Trump not to harass voters at polls next Tuesday.

But U.S. District Judge Richard Boulware in Las Vegas focused during a lengthy hearing Wednesday on a much more narrow question: Whether Trump campaign officials fully notified volunteer poll-watchers about state laws they have to follow, and whether the campaign shared strategy with the Nevada Republican Party.

The judge scheduled testimony Thursday from a former state GOP official-turned-Trump campaign official, Jesse Law, about whether training for poll-watchers was "confusing or misleading" about rules they need to follow if they challenge a voter at the polls.

Boulware told attorneys for the Democratic and Republican parties that he wasn't convinced there was a firm link between the Trump and a named defendant, party official Roger Stone Jr., or between the campaign and the state party.

1. Is the fucking judge for real, we are living

In the twilight zone

Stone is a god trump surrogate and trump's the god damn GOP representative

So, now super packs can do voter intimidation at will and the national party can just shrug it off and call it free speech... another escalation in citizens united.

Next election, superpacs fund heavily armed millitis and free speech arguments and second amendment will meld together

2. Boulware appears to be a Trump supporter. nt

3. They just use the same office space, same supporter data bases, same websites and computer assets,

same phone systems, same personnel, and they're just backing the same candidate. And they're just from the same repug party. And they're just saying the exact same things, publicly.

Other than that, there's absolutely NO connection between those groups.
