Election Complaint Filed in Nevada Alleges Dirty Union Tactics

From RedState:

Attached is a Nevada Election Task Force complaint filed late today in Nevada by Babette Rutherford, a Nevada voter.

The complaint alleges scores of union tactics designed to undermine the integrity of the voting process and intimidate voters.

Specifically, the complaint notes that union officials are busing in union workers, leading them to the polls, deterring or preventing the union member from going to unobserved polling locations set up in Las Vegas, etc.

“The union personnel strategically position themselves at various points around the boundaries of the polling location to ensure that one or more of them are able to monitor their members’ activities at all times.”

This shouldn’t come as a surprise. Unions and their sympathizers in Congress (and the White House) have been pushing for card-check legislation for some time now. Card-check would allow union bosses to intimidate workers into voting for the unionization of their non-union workplace. Electoral intimidation is a trademark of the union establishment.

These latest allegations come shortly after revelations of alleged voter fraud in Las Vegas — fraud that reportedly benefited Harry Reid. In those cases, voting machines allegedly pre-selected Reid’s name for the voter. We have since learned that the voting machine technicians in Las Vegas are members of the pro-Reid mega-union SEIU.

It has also been reported that Harry Reid and his union allies are offering free food and gift cards to individuals who turn out to vote for Reid. That would appear to take advantage of Nevadans who are down on their luck in this prolonged recession.
