Illegal police intimidation on NOV 7

[LadyAKA]

This is happening in NY but be careful in other states. It is speculated that Republicans hired off duty police officers and correction officers to patrol voting sites and intimidate immigrants in poor neighborhoods. Let me state what I just heard on the news POLICE HAVE NO JURSDICTION INSIDE THE VOTING PLACE. You do not have to show any ID to vote. Don't let police or anyone intimate you … and for those that don't know how to use the machine, I am sure you can fine a nice old lady in the place to help you. If God spares my life I plan to vote at 6am, so I should be able to help anyone figure out what's what via voice mail or e-mail.

Also another story is that if you registered via DMV you may have a problem voting tomorrow, but YOU SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO VOTE!! Inquire with the person in charge of that site and you will be able to vote on NOV 7.

Don't settle for NO - take names and id numbers down ….. leave the site and make some calls if you have any problems, yes it is that serious!!

ADDED-> OKAY B4 I get in trouble, I must say DO CARRY ANY AND ALL TYPE OF ID TO THE POLLS WITH YOU FOR THE JUST IN CASE TYPE SITUATION, BUT IN NYC DON'T FEEL OBLIGATED TO SHOW IT ... I just want to make the point that intimidation is not on the ballot, catch my drift!!
