BREAKING: NAACP Takes Over Houston Polling Station, Advocates for President Obama townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2012/11/03/breaking_naacp_takes_over_polling_station_advocates_for_president_obama_at_houston_polling_location
“All of the sudden one of the clerks, Dayan Cohen, said that someone wanted to speak to me on the phone. It was someone from downtown. I got on the phone and she said she was from downtown and that I needed to stand down and that it was okay for the NAACP to be within 100 ft. and they could hand out water. I told her that the NAACP was inside the building, wearing the NAACP clothing and caps and were handing out water and moving people from the back of the lines to the front of the lines,” Rockford said.
At this point, NAACP members were instructed to turn their clothing inside out, which they refused to do and said they weren’t going to stop their actions inside the polling place. Their behavior and actions to move people to the front of the line continued for the rest of the evening. Texas State Representative Sylvester Turner, a former Texas NAACP leader, was also seen outside the building talking with voters.
“The NAACP basically ran this poll location and the judges did nothing about it,” Rockford said. Hum ... glad I plan to vote on Tuesday here in St. Louis. On what many people call the bad side of town. I will be able to see first hand what is going on. Then again, I plan to vote first thing. Meaning I should be voting shortly after the drug dealers, thefts and what not have gone to bed. So maybe I will not run into any of the NAACP people.

Don't know about not being able to arrest U.N. types, but these bozos certainly can be.

Don't know about not being able to arrest U.N. types, but these bozos certainly can be. Really? Are you sure? Keep in mind the police really can not respond to a citizen when it is under control of the polling officers. And even if the police respond it would be seen more as an action of suppressing the vote and not the act of making sure the law is being followed. At best, a person can take notes and hidden video of there actions and changes can be brought later. But, even with this unfair action no one is stopping you from voting. You just have to wait longer. Which to help prevent such unfair action in the future the wait would be worth it.

Do these people not realize that if the rules are not followed the votes can be nullified or "recounted," as they were in Florida?
