GOP’s vote-suppressing militia: Why Scott Walker’s thugs are getting violent
"Voter intimidation is a very different tactic than vote suppression, which is a much subtler form of cheating. Indeed, it’s outright illegal to target people by race and for very good reason. The history of the Jim Crow South made it necessary since fine, upstanding citizens like these would systematically terrorize African-Americans if they tried to vote. Those Twitter comments and the now deleted Facebook page make it clear that these people are targeting based on race, regardless of how much they pretend otherwise. And that could get them in some very big trouble."
