I can’t believe they allowed this type of crap to occur without some heads getting busted out.

BREAKING: NAACP Takes Over Houston Polling Station, Advocates for President Obama

HOUSTON, TX - Friday afternoon at an early polling place located at 6719 W. Montgomery Road in Houston, NAACP members were seen advocating for President Barack Obama according to volunteer poll watchers on location at the time.

According to Eve Rockford, a poll watcher trained by voter integrity group True the Vote, three NAACP members showed up to the 139 precinct location with 50 cases of bottled water and began handing bottles out to people standing in line. While wearing NAACP labeled clothing, members were “stirring the crowd” and talking to voters about flying to Ohio to promote President Barack Obama.

After watching what was occurring, Rockford approached Polling Supervisor Rose Cochran about what she was seeing.

“I went to the polling supervisor and let her know that it was not appropriate that they were in the building handing out water. She ignored me. I repeated my statement. She told me that she would handle it. She did nothing. I then went to the assistant supervisor and he stood up, walked over to another table and then sat down. I then walked into the waiting room and they were reloading another dolly with more cases of water,” Rockford said in a True the Vote incident report.

After handing out water and advocating for President Obama, the NAACP members started handpicking and moving people to the front of a long voting line inside the polling place according to the incident report. After multiple complaints from voters about the line cutting, Rockford received a phone call from downtown telling her to “stand down.”

“All of the sudden one of the clerks, Dayan Cohen, said that someone wanted to speak to me on the phone. It was someone from downtown. I got on the phone and she said she was from downtown and that I needed to stand down and that it was okay for the NAACP to be within 100 ft. and they could hand out water. I told her that the NAACP was inside the building, wearing the NAACP clothing and caps and were handing out water and moving people from the back of the lines to the front of the lines,” Rockford said.

At this point, NAACP members were instructed to turn their clothing inside out, which they refused to do and said they weren’t going to stop their actions inside the polling place. Their behavior and actions to move people to the front of the line continued for the rest of the evening. Texas State Representative Sylvester Turner, a former Texas NAACP leader, was also seen outside the building talking with voters.

“The NAACP basically ran this poll location and the judges did nothing about it,” Rockford said.

Imagine what goes on that you can’t see.

Where is the UN when you need them?

:frowning:

Stand down? Right back at you. These people know the law and even whip out the tape measures because of it.

Both sides have armies of poll watchers and attorneys deployed to monitor this election. And the closer it is, the more charges and counter-charges will be cast about, with the various media organs of propaganda (most notably Fox and MSNBC), along with a cacophony of rancorous chatter from the usual suspects inhabiting every corner of the social media and internet, chiming in to fuel the fire.

I’ll lay even money we get a repeat of Bush/Gore 2000 with the country twisting in the wind for days or weeks before an eventual winner is declared. And we’ll spend another four years with the opposition party seeking to delegitimize the presidency of whoever comes out the victor.

Glad to see Black Jim Crow is alive and well.

They would help hand out the kool-aid, err I mean water.

This couldn’t possibly go wrong could it?

Here’s what I don’t understand. Why didn’t someone contact the Texas DPS or local LE? Here is Texas law and it is very clear;

2. Electioneering and loitering within 100 feet of the entrance of the building in which a
polling place is located. [Sec. 61.003]. Examples of electioneering include, but are not
limited to the following:
• wearing or exhibiting a badge, insignia, emblem, or other similar communicative
device item relating to a candidate, measure or political party. [Sec. 61.010].

What transpired is clearly electioneering and violates Texas law.

Or take pictures / video. It’s hard to imagine that nobody had a smart phone. I’m suspecting that this may be BS.

LoL

Sent from my phone while I was on the toilet pooping

if you google the address two things jump out.
one, thats where sheila jackson lee’s office is,
two, HPD has a substation there.

we all know shes scummy enough to be part of something like that but I have a hard time believing HPD would allow it…

13

Or sufficiently unsubstantiated to be used as a national media blunt instrument of ‘Texan honkys are afraid of the black president’ - sounds like yet another shrewdly chosen red herring to delay public knowledge of what really went down in Benghazi.

14

Chicago has gone Nation Wide!

15

We all know that this can ultimately only end one way. I hope I’m gone before Civil War II breaks out.

Sent from my disgust with my lack of faith in the system.

16

Video recording devices arre not allowed to be used in the polliing places.

If the judges present choose not to do anything about it at the time, I imagine any charge of impropriety would be very harrd to prove, basically he said/she said type of deal.

And not surprised the moral equivalence card is tossed out again.

17

I’m waiting for the Black Panthers to start showing up at voting places like last year. I mean why not? They won’t get prosecuted by the AG. :rolleyes:

18

No telling what will go on tomorrow and we will hear about it days later on…only on talk radio or the Blaze.

This is barely America anymore.

Damn, that was my first thought. :smiley:

The Chicago mob stuffed ballot boxes for Kennedy. Bad behavior in elections is not new. But this may be the last U.S. election which is not a complete farce.
