Video: Republican Party Training ‘Poll Challengers’ In Illegal Voter Suppression

[Segami]

ThinkProgress:



As courts continue to block voter suppression efforts around the county, conservative groups are redoubling efforts to intimidate voters at the polls come Election Day.

New Mexico has started its own voter purge of 177,000 people, including a voting rights activist married to a state representative. However, as the law won’t go into effect until November 2014, the local Republican Party has apparently started training “poll challengers” for this election. A hidden camera caught Pat Morlen, the vice chair of the Sandoval County Republican Party, instructing volunteer “poll challengers” to demand photo ID and force legal voters to use provisional ballots. The video, filmed by the nonprofit ProgressNow New Mexico, shows vice-chair Morlen making several claims that directly contradict New Mexico law:

MORLEN: You can request to see a form of ID. At the request of two or more precinct board members of different political parties, a voter shall still present the required physical form of identification.

VOLUNTEER: What happens if we get people in there who are part of what the media is calling the purge?

MORLEN: They’ll vote provisional. That’s all that’s gonna happen.

2. Republican Party Training

There is only ONE rule in training;

LIE !!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never seen a more anti American group of people.

The Republicans and the Tea Party should go down in history as pathological liars, cons, and traitors.

If you have to lie, spin and trick the American people to win an election there is something seriously wrong with your party platform.

How can these politicians and their supporters profess to be the party of 'family values' and 'God' fearing people ?

Do they teach their children to lie ?

Do their churches teach them to lie ?

3. They anoint themselves as higher than holy people. Catholics confess their sins on Saturday,

and receive the Eucharist on Sunday and on Monday they begin building up their sins until Saturday's confession to which it will all be washed away when the priest gives them their whack of prayer penance to recite so they may cleanse their souls until Monday's shift begins once again.

IS LYING A SIN IN THE MORMON CHURCH?

Nuff said!
