I am from this town. I have also contacted the state Attorney General's Office. I will get a chance to see the Republican party chairman (Ralph Reagan) from Fayetteville tomorrow night at election headquarters. I will personally tell him how stupid he was to participate in and encourage this protest. He made a statement in the paper that said early voters are uninformed voters. Thanks to Ralph Reagan I was only encouraged to go vote early! Not everyone in this town is redneck, racist or a NASCAR fan. And actually I prefer a nice Merlot over a beer. But tomorrow night I have a nice bottle of champaign saved for a special occasion. This is not exactly how the local paper reported this event. I am from this town.

McCain didn't really do a good job of letting people know he would be here until the very last minute. Of course all he did was stop and eat some bbq. When Joe Biden was here and the other time when his wife, Jill, came to town I got text messages at least a day ahead of time letting me know. McCain is prolly all like... "whats a text message?" :) I’m in Columbia… McCain didn’t really do a good job of letting people know he would be here until the very last minute. Of course all he did was stop and eat some bbq.

Before 1965, these thugs would just string up a couple of the darkys outside the polling place to send a message. Then the local judge would dismiss any charges that might be brought against the offenders. The Voting Rights Act makes the use of such tactics a federal crime.

There was a target practice range directly across the street from the entrance to the poll and on election day, the terrorist Republicans would show up with BIG guns and spend the day shooting off these guns in an attempt to intimidate voters. It didn't work. The voting poll has since been moved to another location. The voting poll where I vote was once in the local rod and gun club.

Seems that heckling someone as they wait in line to vote should fall within that category. First comes heckling and mocking those who wish to vote. Then comes physical attacks. Then we're back to the Deep South voter supression tactics of not so many years ago. I thought the Voting Rights Act prohibited anyone from interfering with exercise of your right to vote.
