Come up with a good reason, I dare you

East Timorese Labour intends to place Election Day challengers at 59 voting precincts in predominantly minority neighborhoods, a move that [minority] leaders yesterday called blatant intimidation.

The election workers, most of whom live outside the targeted precincts in western and central East Timor, will be on hand to challenge voters who they suspect aren't eligible.

Sound like voter intimidation? I think so, too.

Only it's not really East Timor. It's Louisville, Kentucky, USA.

Jefferson County Republicans intend to place Election Day challengers at 59 voting precincts in predominantly black neighborhoods, a move that NAACP leaders yesterday called blatant intimidation.

The GOP election workers, most of whom live outside the targeted precincts in western and central Louisville, Portland and Newburg, will be on hand to challenge voters who they suspect aren't eligible.

What's so magically special about *black* precincts that they need this special treatment?

Well, they are predominantly Democrat.

Like I said. Come up with a good reason. I dare you. I think whenever Republicans send challengers to a precinct, Democrats should, too, to challenge *their* challenges. It's the election official (the Inspector or Assistant Inspector) who determines if the challenge is upheld. So, be there. Present a dissenting view.
