Your right to vote in Philadelphia

This from World Net Daily...

Black Panthers blocked a doorway to a polling location and intimidated voters in
Philadelphia, Pa., according to a Republican poll observer.
After one of
two
men wearing black panther gear brandished a nightstick to threaten
voters, the
poll observer called police.
"As I walked up, they closed ranks, next to each
other," he told Fox News. "So I walked directly in between them, went inside
and
found the poll watchers. They said they'd been here for about an hour.
And they
told us not to come outside because a black man is going to win
this election no
matter what."
He said he then walked back outside and
the man with a night
stick told him, "'We're tired of white supremacy' and
he starts tapping the
night stick in his hand. At which point I said, 'OK,
we're not going to get in a
fist fight right here,' and I called the
police."
Officers escorted the man
with the night stick away from the
polling location, but the other person in
Black Panther gear is a poll watcher and lives in the building where
voters are scheduled to cast their ballots. He was allowed to remain on the
premises.
The incident is one of many cases of intimidation against
Republicans at Philadelphia polling sites. According to recent reports, GOP
Election Board members have been kicked out of at least half a dozen polling
stations in Philadelphia because they are Republicans – despite a
Pennsylvania
judge's ruling that on-site election judges are not allowed to
remove
court-appointed poll observers.
Fox News reported Republican poll
watchers in
West Philadelphia were asked to leave because Democrats are the
party of power,
and the Republicans are not being allowed to monitor the
election
process.
"We're saying that the poll watcher is not allowed to
stay in the
poll and watch," the complainant said. "He's been asked
initially to leave.
Then, later on, the election judge came and said
essentially that he only had
the right to pass through on an intermittent
occasion."
Removing the minority
party from poll-watching positions is a
violation of state law. It is a
misdemeanor offense that carries a fine of
$1,000 and up to two years of prison
time.
According to TownHall,
Republicans have been removed from the following
precincts: the 44th Ward,
12th and 13th divisions; 6th Ward, 12th division; 32nd
Ward, Division
28.
McCain spokesman Ben Porritt told Townhall, "Election
board officials
guard the legitimacy of the election process and the idea that
Republicans
are being intimidated and banned for partisan purposes does not
allow for an
honest and open election process."
Pennsylvania Secretary of
State Pedro
Cortes said the situation is currently being resolved in court.
