Quote:He's comparing the Black Panther holding a base ball bat in Philly to poll watchers in other districts.

 

1.) Those poll watchers are not allowed to be armed

2.) Those poll watchers are not allowed to disperse any political propaganda

3.) Those poll watchers are not allowed intimidate turn out in an way.

 

I know you're driving an agenda but you even have to admit comparing the black panther push in philly wasn't the same as poll watchers that are common at polling stations. 

 

Sorry, maybe you could go ahead and link the federal laws that legitimize your claim.

 

As for what's allowed and what actually happens, they're far different. The big difference is that white people have had the law on their side so they didn't need to bring anything with them, they could just call the police in.

 

William Rehnquist, for example, was once an Arizona poll watcher, his job was (essentially) making sure that minorities were intimidated away from voting. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/11/weekin....html?_r=0
