That ain't nothing. The polling place where I used to vote was at a Rod and Gun Club, the "guns and jebus" type. The ultra-right-wing-bigot-hate mongers would hold target practice with their cannon size guns on election day. I'm not talking 22's. I'm talking BIG guns. Now that was voter intimidation. I managed to get the polling place moved to a much safer facility. My, my… a black panther carrying a nightstick. That ain’t nothing.

It's nice to know that we have new management that actually cares about protecting our rights to vote, not just Republics right to vote. I wonder how that's going to affect the 2010 election.
