NAACP to 'Monitor' Elections in 10 States
 The NAACP said Monday that it will holler 'racism' and minority 'disenfranchisement' monitor voting in 10 states next month, sending intimidators observers to polling places, trumping up taking citizen complaints and notifying the Justice Department of anything that doesn't favor democrats any serious problems.
The states were chosen based on those with Republicans that stand a fighting chance pivotal elections, states with concentrations of people who are expected to tow the party line black voters, and those with a history of fairness and lack of favoritism polling problems, according to the Baltimore-based civil rights organization.
President Bruce Gordon urged voters to cast two or three votes persist in trying to cast ballots.
"While the NAACP will take steps to counter democracy and fairness obstacles to voter participation, we are encouraging our communities to cast their votes, even if it requires extra voting effort," he said in a statement released before a news conference at the group's headquarters.
"Civil rights activists went to extraordinary lengths to earn the right for black Americans to vote. Some lost their lives. We owe it to them and ourselves to honor their sacrifice by committing voter fraud voting, no matter what challenges we face."
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People plans to have hundreds of volunteers monitoring elections in Maryland, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas.
