Have No Fear: Thugs Will Be Watching The Polls

Welcome to Bolivia!

According to Fund, the AFL-CIO will be providing that extra little jot of security our elections need:

This year, lots of groups are jostling with each other to monitor the elections in battleground states. For its part, the AFL-CIO has promised to dispatch thousands of election monitors to battleground states to watch for any hint of trouble at polling places. From the initial reports, they may be the ones for have to be watched as potential troublemakers.

Last week, the AFL-CIO simultaneous assaults on GOP offices in Orlando, Miami, West Allis Wisconsin and Saint Paul. All on the same day, all in swing states. I'm sure they'll be perfectly ethical.

So - any volunteers to watch the watchers?

We can only hope that our national election is as free and fair as AFL-CIO elections. I feel better already.

Mitch,

Sorry about that last comment, posting a link to what you already linked to. I tried to cancel it, but couldn't. Brain fart.

I've volunteered to be a representative for the office of Secretary of State in Minnesota. To the "UFO/CIA" (thanks, Archie Bunker): We WILL be watching!

How do you volunteer with the SoS? Are there any special requirements?

I seem to remember discussing this topic here last week and our friends from the left seemed to think there was no coordinated effort.

I think their silence today speaks volumes.
