Residents were advised to simply keep inside and to lock their doors.In other words buckle down, it’s not even safe to sit on your porch or go into your yards.And I hope the Republicans are watching closely, or it’s going to be taken away from us.” This was in line with comments from his surrogates, like longtime adviser Roger Stone, who told that Trump would begin to talk “constantly” about voter fraud. is if cheating goes on,” said Trump during another August rally in Pennsylvania.“He needs to say for example, today would be a perfect example: ‘I am leading in Florida. If I lose Florida, we will know that there’s voter fraud.’ ” Stone continued: “‘If there’s voter fraud, this election will be illegitimate, the election of the winner will be illegitimate, we will have a constitutional crisis, widespread civil disobedience, and the government will no longer be the government.’” The implication is clear: If Trump loses, he should foment this “civil disobedience.” And he should start preparing his supporters for it now. In Wilmington, North Carolina—where more than a century earlier, white terrorists toppled a black-led city government in a violent insurrection—Trump warned his supporters that without strict voter identification laws, people would be “voting 15 times for Hillary.” These are rhetorical time bombs, statements that cast doubt on our democracy, planted with growing frequency as Trump tries to rationalize the fact that he’s losing.For months, the Republican presidential nominee has undermined confidence in our electoral system, warning his supporters that this election will be “rigged” and stolen through “voter fraud.” Trump first told his supporters of this conspiracy theory at an Ohio rally in August and followed up the claim in an interview with Sean Hannity: “I’m telling you, Nov.8, we’d better be careful because that election is going to be rigged."), r = n i; try catch (d) } }, r(function() ); var reg = new Reg Exp("MSIE ([0-9] [\.0-9]*)"); reg.exec(Agent) ?

A reporter for Philadelphia Magazine found a “uniformed member of the New Black Panther Party” Tuesday morning at the entrance to a polling place in the 1200 block of Fairmount Avenue in Philadelphia.Problems at the polls surfaced early Tuesday in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, with Republican election monitors being turned away from polling places and members of the New Black Panther Party appearing at voting sites in Philadelphia.Pennsylvania Republican officials said 75 election monitors from the party were turned away from polling places in heavily Democratic sections of Philadelphia Tuesday, but a judge has ordered them reinstated.“It certainly raises the question, what are Democrats doing in the polls that they are working so hard to shield folks from monitoring in this election?Cars were doing U turns on the streets just to avoid the mob, mostly male.One youth stated his grandfather was white and several assaulted him on the spot. The youth split into two large groups, one heading north, the other south.Wasn’t this crap supposed to stop when Obama was elected president? Things such as we need to kill alll the white people around here.Black youths marched down the streets of Peoria, Illinois on Saturday screaming, “We need to kill all white people.”The Peoria Chronicle reported: Tonight, around 11 p.m., a group of at least 60-70 African American youth marched down one of the side streets (W. They were physically intimidating anyone calling for help from the police. Cars on the main drag had to slam on their brakes to either avoid the youth blocking not only all four lanes, but a large section of the side street as well. They were rushing residents who looked out their doors, going on to porches, yelling threats to people calling the police for help.” state Republican chairman Rob Gleason said in a statement.Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has turned his attention to Pennsylvania in the final days of the race, as polls there have tightened in a state that President Obama’s campaign believed it would win fairly easily. Romney turned out about 30,000 supporters Sunday night at a rally in the Philadelphia suburbs.More critically, the idea that he would respect the results of the election, full stop, ignores the hatred that’s come to characterize Trump’s campaign, the violence he’s condoned against protesters and other vocal opponents, the virulent prejudice he’s brought to mainstream politics, and the apocalypticism of his message, where he stands as the final hope for an embattled minority of resentful whites.These rhetorical time bombs, in other words, could be the catalyst for actual intimidation and violence, before and after Election Day.The reporter, Victor Fiorillo, told the man he was going to take his photograph.“No pictures, please,” he replied.When the reporter asked the black panther if he was there to provide security, the man replied, “No comment.”Other Black Panthers reportedly showed up at a second polling place in Philadelphia Tuesday morning.There’s a chance this is harmless, that Trump will resign himself to defeat if he loses to Hillary Clinton and bring his supporters with him—during the first presidential debate moderator Lester Holt asked him whether he would “accept the outcome [of the election] as the will of the voters,” and he said unequivocally “the answer is that if she wins I will absolutely support her.” But that was before he lashed out against the media for his poor performance, before the polls began to tilt back in Clinton’s favor.Now that he’s behind, Trump has returned to questioning the legitimacy of the election.
