Here’s hoping the U.S. Justice Department and the Harris county D.A. have reigned in Jared Woodfill and the North Houston Teabaggers/Secessionists. This silly blogger defended the woman and group behind the voter intimidation, so perhaps he defended them today? Let’s see. . . Not really.

In all seriousness, the polls have to be watched. And these newly branded poll watchers need to be watched as well. It’s not surprising that they chose polling places in mostly minority neighborhoods to watch. But don’t you dare call them racists. It’s not surprising that they are harassing minority voters. I’m sure they feel they have the right.
Everyone who is legally eligible should be able to vote without having some white guy on disability or out of work hanging over his or her shoulder.
