Republicans increasing use of intimidation around ballot boxs

Republicans are resorting to intimidation to dissuade Democrats from voting in some areas.

Clearly these uneducated unemployed Republicans have nothing better to do with their days than hang out near voting stations trying to intimidate voters.

We saw intimidation tactics by the black panthers in Philadelphia in 2008, so it’s nothing new. Politicians on both sides will say little about it unless they feel it hurts their chances. If such tactics work they’ll remain silence and feign ignorance.

@soar2newhighs False. The gentleman in question was asked to leave, and he did. There were no complaints by voters of intimidation. It isn't comparable at all to what is happening in Arizona and other places with armed Republican intimidation of voters.

@soar2newhighs Yes, it does, but you left out that it is almost exclusively now done by Republicans to obtain an advantage. There just isn't anything even close to equivalent by Democrats.

@soar2newhighs Then show me the Democratic voter intimidation at any time in the last ten years. Specifics regarding circumstances, time, and place.

@soar2newhighs There was no fraudulent election. 61 failed lawsuits alleging it prove that it didn't happen. There is no evidence.

Do you have actual evidence of voter intimidation of Republicans, or not?

@soar2newhighs Thank you. Until then, voter intimidation will remain exclusively in the current Republican playbook, not something both sides engage in.

@windinhishair Bottom line is what you fear.

@windinhishair Two key word you use: ALMOST and EXVLUSIVELY . You don’t know for sure. To think there is not voter intimidation by democrats puts you in the category of NAIVE.

@soar2newhighs And the Obama admin did nothing to the intimidators.

@soar2newhighs no violence, yet, but what would you call armed, masked, and I do not mean N95 masks, people at polling places, ballot drop boxes, etc.?

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@soar2newhighs Then please show me the evidence that you are positive is out there. So far the evidence is in one direction, and you are wrong about it being the same both ways. Perhaps you can show me heavily armed Democrats in tactical gear showing up at polling places to intimidate Republicans.

@samueltyler2 If they’re acting out in a violent manner yes they are violent and they need to be subject to all federal, state and local laws.
But if you go to vote, see such characters regardless of their/ your political view(s), are YOU going to let THEM intimidate you?

soar2newhighs

@samueltyler2 For shits and giggles given what we’ve seen of people so described, ANTIFA, perhaps?
Again though if you let them intimidate
you that is on you, not them.

@soar2newhighs Yep, same thing. But seems to be more widespread this time, in multiple locations.
