During a press conference Thursday, Minnesota Majority held a press conference to outline their objections to a local policy recently implemented that bans tea party-themed clothing and buttons at polling places, as well as the group’s Election Integrity campaign buttons which call on watchdog voters to report instances of voter fraud.

Congressman Keith Ellison, D-Minn., was in attendance and weighed in with his support for the new rule and accused the Voter Integrity campaign of voter intimidation. When the media pressed him, the congressman abruptly ended his remarks and walks away (h/t Hot Air):

If the Democrat does not win initially, they will keep finding additional ballots until they do – at least that is hat happened with Franken.

If you google “socialists in congress” you can find Keith on the list. I‘m sure he wouldn’t admit it, but for what it’s worth, his name is there.

The last democrats left in America turn off the lights as you move to Cuba. You can find real freedom there.

  No, remember, Castro just announced this year that communism has not worked for Cuba and they are going to have to do something different. The democrats did not get over there fast enough to live in the conditions they want for this country.

So how is it that the Black Panthers can stand in front of voting polls with batons, but Americans cannot wear buttons ???
Ellison is a Muslim by the way.

I know it is not EVERY liberal, but it is probably about ALL Progressive/ Socialists/Communists that are so void of any virtue or morality as to make a sleezy real estate sales man wince in disgust! The GOOD News is, the awareness of these sleezeballs is growing. What has started as the “tea party” is not a party but an awareness based in values and principals. And we will not rest until the nation, as intended in by our Constitution, is restored!

Misrepresentation, bribery, cohersion, intimidation, corruption. The stuff that the Obama socialist democrats are made of. If they can’t win it, they’ll steal it. They have done more damage to this country in 2 years, then has been done in our entire history.

It is so sad that we now worry about voter fraud in America. America. The stalwart of freedom. I want you back, America. If Democrats win honestly, so be it. If Republicans win honestly, so be it. If Independents win honestly, so be it. But God forbid, someone wins dishonestly.

  Right you are, no matter who wins HONESTLY, so be it. However, the Democrats are masters of Chicago style politics. Voter intimidation, the dead vote and other forms of collusion to rig the vote are the norm. With voting machines maintained by Soros backed unions which vote automatically for Democrats, what else can you expect?

  AZKENREID,
  
  With all due respect I must Disagree. His Relegion is not a RELEGION at all. ISLAM is a TOTALTARIAN POLITICAL MOVEMENT, bent on world domination by Violence against anyone that does not CONVERT to their PERVERSION. His MUSLIM AFFILIATION makes him a DOMESTIC ENEMY of the Constitution and the people of this country. We are now learning the hard way, that MUSLIMS and their ISLAMIC SATANIST views have NO PLACE in the United States of America. This guy is no exception, they are all Vermin that must be eradicated.

Always have brain engaged before running your mouth, Congressman. Left wing philosophy “Don’t confuse me with the facts, I have determined the proper liberal decision.” And we ask one another what’s wrong in America.

  I also like their philosophy of “Dont confuse me with the facts, I am still making them up as I go along to get elected.” And they think we the people are so utterly stupid? Never mind, they obviously do.

  The Republican Party has set up a Hotline for election day, 1-888-775-8117, which will be staffed by attorneys, to handle polling issues and possible voter fraud or intimidation. If folks even guess that it might be taking place, they should call for free advice.
  
  Please share this with EVERYONE!!
  This is VITAL!! Twitter, Facebook, copy and paste in an email to all your friends!!

  I don‘t think it will have a big impact this cycle as most of them won’t appear on the rolls. Hopefully SCOTUS will take the voter ID issue up before 2012.

  Here’s what happened as soon as the SUPREME COURT was allowed to decide the winner in FL when Bush ran it set up for ALL elections that are close to be called by our courts.. While those on the RIGHT might have thought it a good idea at the time it’s one of those.. FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION.. IF people would THINK before allowing our voting rights to be taken over and protested having the courts decide it would NOT be an issue now.. Now as someone who was born and raised in CHICAGO.. and voted in EVERY elections.. (at that time I was a registered Democrat for the primaries).. I can tell you that the DEMOCRATS have been buying and bullying votes every election.. and to ensure they get Chicago to come in as Democrat they have the districts drawn that look like whoever drew them was drunk..they make sure they are 79% Democratic with a few token Republicans thrown in.. This is WHY Republicans don’t run in CHICAGO epically for MAYOR..
