Tea Bagger Voter Intimidation

The New York Daily News reports tea bagger are using voter intimidation. Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman has been endorsed by Glenn Beck's 9/12 Project and garnered tea bagger support. The Daily News Elizabeth Benjamin has been informed, by June O'Neill, Hoffman supporters were getting too close to voters.

"We've gotten reports that people are standing there, covered with Hoffman stickers and yelling anti-choice stuff at voters," said O'Neill, a St. Lawrence native who has been running the party's GOTV effort for Bill Owens in NY-23.

"Apparently, there's some woman claiming to be a commissioner," O'Neill continued. "Commissioner of what, I don't know. She's from Texas, I think, and she won't leave."

"This is not the way we roll in the North Country."

Anyone that witnessed how tea baggers behaved at the Kathy Castor townhall meeting should not be surprised. Voters have the right to not have the access to the precincts blocked. People can't protest. However, they can't bliock entrances.

Benjamin double-checked the story with GOP Elections Commissioner Debbie Pahler. Police were called to remove tea bagger protesters.

"We had electioneering within the 100-foot polling marker," Phaler said. "It's my understanding that they were asked to leave and wouldn't leave."

"If people are electioneering within the marker and don't stop when we ask them to, our inspectors are instructed to call law enforcement to assist them. I don't think anybody was arrested."

Joy Yearout, a Hoffman supporter, accuses the poll workers of being Bill Owens supporters. Do this tea baggers have any other conspiracy theories?
