Related: About this forumIs there any organized effort to counter True the Vote intimidation on election day?
It is my understanding that True The Vote is organizing thousands of goons to go to voting places in the swing states on election day to intimidate and discourage people who are likely to vote for Obama.
Is there any effort to organize a force to stand up to these goons?

(23 posts)assault; if they touch you, it's battery. I'm thinking along the lines of inviting them outside, AFTER I vote. Just remember you're dealing with assholes and that they probably have the cops on speed dial. If you can't vote because of being detained, they win. Hmmmm...I think I'll have 911 ready to go and tell the cops that people are interfering with my right to vote. Who knows, maybe they will be detained.

(735 posts)I for one will be keeping an eye out for anyone trying to intimidate AND,
I said it before,and I will say it again,
Believe me when I tell you that they certainly don't want to approach me !!!
I question everything. So anyone coming up to me and acting authoritive is going to set off alarm bells.And they are going to get a long list of questions in order for me to confirm their authority.
If they are pretenders then they will not only get a mouthful from me,I will do my best to either get them removed or arrested.
I will not get angry,I will not get even,I will get ahead !!!!
He who loses control, Loses!!!
