Politics is very very local, and unfortunately, you can't blame the whole of the party or even the state parties for that kind of shit. It's a bunch of fucking Bubbas doing what they think is the right thing to do without checking in on anyone first.

I had a Democrat do that one me in '05 when he sent out a press release about how a minister shouldn't be elected into office, ignoring the constitutional right of anyone who run for office and calling it a violation of church and state seperations, which legally it isn't even close--infact writing a law to keep a minister out of office simply because he is a minister is a violation of church and state seperations--but I digress. I agreed with the guy, but he sent out a press release about it--to a black community of 2800 people with 5 friggin churches. The way he did it as well, just smelled of hate speech and we lost.

The party didn't back him no one else backed him--and I know that's the case with these retarded robo calls. They've been getting away with murder for so long they don't even know it's illegal--because everything is so localised.

FFS, what happened?

Basically starting at about 5:30am I started going to the polling places to set up lawn signs for my candidate at polling places around the district so that I can get to my town (where I'm in charge of the dem party) and make sure everything was ok by 6:30.

I was almost done when I went to the next closest polling place to my town, to drop off signs. This was 6:15 and a republican poll worker was setting up the machines and fiddling in the back. I told him that I was vice chair of his town's dem party (which I am) and that he had to stop. When I went to get his name he started screaming at me and telling me to get the fuck out.

I called our lawyers, and they weren't there yet--because god forbid Hippy democrats get ready for anything early. So I called the board of elections, which actually IS corrupt not just "omg they are run by republicans" corrupt that most people say just because something is run by republicans. I had hoped they'd back me up. I spoke to the solicitor who told me to mind my own business and to not split hairs because 6:20 is almost 6:30. That did confirm that 630 was the right time tho.

So I called the cops so they'd stop it. By the time the cops came the precincts judge of election and the poll worker had pushed me off of the premises. I called the cops again adding assault to my complaint, and then I went home because now I was seriously late. I was also worried because my town has a large black community and I was worried if the white people were pushing white people out in a white neighborhood what would happen to the blacks at home.

So the police called me back and told me I had to go to the municipal building in the town I was pushed in--on election day WHEN IT'S FUCKING CLOSED. I said I was assaulted and I'm not going to leave my polls so that there's no democrats there. So the police came to my town, and took my statement. They said they couldn't arrest the two who shoved me because they didn't witness it and the poll workers denied it, but THE STATEMENT OF THE POLL WORKERS SAID THAT I WAS GIVING THEM TROUBLE BECAUSE THEY WERE SETTING UP BEFORE 630 AM.

FUCKING IDIOTS!! Thank you I'll be taking you to election court as well you fucking retards.

Again, like i said...this isn't any grand instruction from any party. These are 70 year old men with nothing better to do who weren't going to be told by a young girl how to do a job that they've been doing longer than I've been alive. They're set in their ways. They don't know any better, because of the corruption on top, no one ever told them what they were doing is wrong.
