The radical liberal group moveon.org has caused problems at several polling stations in the Michigan cities of Grand Rapids, Lansing, Milford, Dearborn and Troy. They are supposed to be watching the election, not actively interfering.
In Detroit, the police were summoned to shoo away white Republican Party members from Grand Rapids who were pestering the residents of mainly African American areas of Detroit. Then the Democrats showed up with attorneys wearing hunters orange vests. Oh yay. Attorneys. And insulting hunters, too!
Polling monitors should keep their mouths shut or go home. This is why this kind of behavior should be strictly enforced by the courts. Under Michigan law there is no campaigning within 100 feet of a polling place, but that is not enough.
Party challengers need to be banned. I’m glad that the election workers were uncooperative with the self-appointed party challengers. Instead of intimidating people, the self-appointed party challengers ought to be contributing to society instead of being two-bit bullies.
