I”m on the phones here at the Election Integrity Watch center.
I just got a call from a woman complaining about the posters by polling stations in North Minneapolis, “targeting people of color”. I pointed out that we’re getting most of our calls from places like Plymouth, Blaine and Golden Valley.
“Well, you have people in North Minneapolis harrassing people of color!” I pointed out that all of “our people” are here in the boiler room with me, as I speak (except for two who are out in da hood in Minnetonka investigating a ballot storage issue).
She quickly changed chanting points; “how do you sleep at night, knowing you’re doing hate speech?” I said it was our First Amendment right, and our efforts are utterly non-partisain.
She sounded like she was getting frustrated. “Congratulations on doing what the Klan can’t anymore!”, she huffed, hanging up.
Jeff Davis notes that that’s a genuine worry, here; the DFL sending sock puppets out pretending to be from Minnesota Majority.
All of the election judges in my precinct were old, white people. Racism! Voter intimidation! Teabaggers!!!
Should have asked he if she was a Chicago transplant!
Kermit;
Were they also wearing their NRA Life Member Buttons? Oh, wait…Herr Ritchie and Frau Ericksen say we can’t wear political buttons.
I’ve been making my rounds in North Minneapolis. The poll “watchers” (wink, wink) are in place, and and I predict a Republican tsunami.
Keep in mind that in Minneapolis “Republican tsunami” is relative. It means the description that applies if any Democrat wins by less than 89%.
Still, there’s an outside chance I’ll see a non-DFL’er on the city council or perhaps as mayor in my lifetime. One can only hope for change.
Tony, the odds against a GOP mayor in Minneapolis are about the same as Hakim X Ellison losing his sinecure in the 5th.
Has anyone called & complained that McDonald’s was out of nuggets yet?
I can’t believe I read this racist blog. Even the page background is white.
Yes, but the text is black. Sing with me…Ebony and ivory….
“Sing with me…Ebony and ivory….” Very-very funny!!!!!!!!!!!
Doing the Klan’s job? You mean like sending out anti-Catholic mailings?
“Were they also wearing their NRA Life Member Buttons?”
Wore my NRA tee shirt the DFL judge looked at me but didn’t say anything.
