Poll watcher in Detroit threatened with gun, 911 call rejected...
This morning, a legally credentialed poll watcher was threatened and intimidated while attempting to perform his legally allowed duties of observing the election process at precinct polling location 289 in Detroit. The poll watcher, a lawyer, was confronted by a voter in line, who demanded the poll watcher produce his credentials, which he did.

However, the voter said that wasn’t good enough and that he had “a badge and a gun” and told the poll watcher get out of the precinct. Rather than allow the situation to escalate, the poll watcher left before the voter produced a badge or brandished a gun. Fearing for his safety, the poll watcher exited and called 911, however the Detroit Police refused to respond to the call – neglecting the fact that a voter alleged to have a ‘badge’ and a ‘gun’ in a precinct, putting other voters at risk.

It's Detroitistan. What else would you expect? The cops don't even patrol some parts of that city.
"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed...

I'm sure there some Republicans still alive that recall the KKK activity of the era started by the Democrats.

I would also suggest you do a little better research into which group, Republicans or Democrats were pushing for civil rights.

What I find appalling is the fact that their are people working the polling stations tht are decorated with slogans and hats and posters. Thats not how a democratic society operates. That would never be tolerated in Canada. Never.

You guys will be lucky if you ever have another election. Your kissing cousin two party system has been a one party system for the last 40 years at least. 400 years with a two party system.

I was hopeing that 5% of the popular vote would go to one third party so you could have a more democratic three party system. You guys are screwed royally and don't even know what you've done to yourselfs.

Wait and see. Its all over. You will never vote again. Wait and see.
