With DOJ in mix, will Democrats try to pull a Franken in Wisconsin?
Tuesday, June 5, 2012 at 10:17AM New Black Panther Party members showed up, weapon in hand, at a Philadelphia precinct in 2008. The man in the foreground actually brandished the nightstick as a poll watcher asked questions. Obama’s Justice Dept. made little of the obvious case of voter intimidation, an action based purely on racial tenets. (Photo: Screen snip, YouTube)All eyes are on Wisconsin as voters in that state head to the polls to pick candidates in an election centered on the recall of Gov. Scott Walker. Walker hadn’t even served a year before partisan Dems aided by out-of-state interests began to push the recall.
Now the Dept. of Justice is beating political war drums, declaring in a public announcement that DOJ will monitor elections in some counties.
That begs questions. Who will monitor DOJ? Will Democrats try to pull a Franken after Tuesday’s votes are tallied?
