Voter intimidation in Arizona

[Salyut]

I believe there was a case where armed Minutemen did the same thing back in 06 or something. I'll dig it up if anyone wants. (http://crooksandliars.com/jackie-mahendra/sheriff-joe-arpaio-s-outrageous-ar)

Aha. Here we go.


From a November 8, 2006, Austin American-Statesman article:

In Arizona, Roy Warden, an anti-immigration activist with the Minutemen, and a handful of supporters staked out a Tucson precinct and questioned Hispanic voters at the polls to determine whether they spoke English.

Armed with a 9mm Glock automatic strapped to his side, Warden said he planned to photograph Hispanic voters entering polls in an effort to identify illegal immigrants and felons. The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund reported the incident to the FBI.

Fox News foamed at the mouth over racist New Black Panther's intimidating voters, yet said little when its white intimidation directed at Hispanics. Typical.
