Police called to NY-23 polling place
Liz Benjamin at the New York Daily News is reporting that it's been confirmed that police were called to a polling site in St. Lawrence County because of alleged voter harassment by a conservative activist.
Here's Benjamin's write-up.
I called over to the St. Lawrence Board of Elections and got GOP Elections Commissioner Debbie Pahler on the line. She confirmed that the police indeed had been called, but she downplayed the incident, saying it's "a routine procedure here in the county."
"We had electioneering within the 100-foot polling marker," Phaler said. "It's my understanding that they were asked to leave and wouldn't leave."
"If people are electioneering within the marker and don't stop when we ask them to, our inspectors are instructed to call law enforcement to assist them. I don't think anybody was arrested."

There was plenty of electioneering in South Florida by Obama supposrters and down right voter intimidation by them.Nothing New for the Democrats.Either they try and scare people to nt Vote by the Black Panthers screaming racial epitaths at people in Philly or the Acorn and other groups beating up people in the TownHalls just recently.Tses guys are real scumbags,what is even worse is the MEDIA covering for them and then Lying and accusing the Victims of crimes. Disgusting!!
