Trump Loyalists Planned Voter Intimidation Using Fake ID Badges, Fake Exit Polling

Roger Stone is at it again。 Dirty Tricks man。

Stone’s group created an official-looking ID badge for its volunteers to wear, and its volunteers planned to videotape voters and conduct fake “exit polls,” efforts that election experts say risks intimidating and confusing voters. Or at least that’s what the group was planning to do before The Huffington Post asked Stone about it on Tuesday. The controversial Trump ally, long known for his bare-knuckled political tactics, said that key proposals on his group’s websites were there without his knowledge, and assured HuffPost that he would operate within the confines of election law.

Stone had initially refused to explain just how Vote Protectors planned to accomplish its goals. So on Monday, The Huffington Post responded to the group’s request for additional volunteers to work as “Exit Pollers and Citizen Journalists.”

The consent decree is due to expire in 2017, which is why the Republican Party has been warning Republicans about intimidating voters in the guise of "poll watching", since this was the very cause of the decree.

If there is significant intimidation, the decree will be extended by 8 years.
