Police Called To NY-23 Polling Sites Due to Hoffman TeaBagger Harassment

By GottaLaff

How pathetic that this isn't at all surprising:

[P]olice had been called to at least two polling sites in St. Lawrence County due to overzealous electioneering (O'Neill called it "voter intimidation") by Doug Hoffman supporters.

"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. [...]

I called over to the St. Lawrence Board of Elections and got GOP Elections Commissioner Debbie Pahler on the line. She confirmed that the police indeed had been called, but she downplayed the incident, saying it's "a routine procedure here in the county."

"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."

This from the zealots who are adamantly against "government" intrusion. I guess harassment is acceptable, and voter intimidation is dandy, but only if you're a Tea Tantrumer.

Power to the people! Unless they want to vote.
