Anonymous Coward User ID: 70466375 United States 10/22/2016 04:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Breaking: Pennsylvania GOP files lawsuit over election day poll watchers The Pennsylvania Republican party has filed a lawsuit asserting that their Election Day poll watchers have Constitutional rights under the First and 14th amendments to watch polls anywhere. The Republicans are trying to bring poll watchers into Philadelphia from the suburbs. If the lawsuit fails, volunteers who do not live in the city cannot watch the polls. "As a result of the Commonwealth's arbitrary restriction on poll watchers, candidates, political parties and political bodies are unjustifiably burdened in their attempts to locate available, qualified registered electors who can serve as poll watchers," the lawsuit said, as first reported by The Washington Post. The Pennsylvania Republicans claim they are at a disadvantage in Philadelphia County, but also list several counties where Democrats are at their own disadvantage. These counties include Fulton, Bedford, Franklin, Perry and Huntington, where a majority of voters are Republican. [ link to thehill.com] |

They should not even be regarded as anything but DNC. What a bunch of wolves in sheep's clothing such treacherous snakes they are. The most precious things are the simple things in life, always present in the simplest of minds. |
