American Indian Movement. They once occupied the sight of they staged an armed occupation at the sight of the Wounded Knee massacre and also occupied Alcatraz. Mind you it wasn't as if these groups didn't face police pressure, CONTERPOLO was a thing, and both the Panthers and AIM dabbled in criminal activity to fund themselves.

Quick question: Someone told me that if people try voting twice (ex, if they send in an early voting ballot and then appear in person, like Trump suggested), both their votes will be voided. Is that true? It seems more likely they just wouldn't be allowed to vote again.
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.@voting twice: At least in Canada you could vote twice by claiming there was an error (because those do happen) and fill out a form but here's the thing: I've worked four or five elections and handled at this point thousands of votes and never have I had this happen.
If we had a rash of people coming in doing this it would raise big alarm bells, like call elections canada and possibly have the RCMP look into it. Now if it was found that yes, in fact, your absentee ballot was used/you voted at the early polls you would now have committed a very bad crime and go to very real prison.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?In blow to Trump, U.S. court denies Republican poll monitor request in Pennsylvania
i.e. PA law prevents people from poll monitoring outside of their polling area. (Republicans from the Suburbans/Rural areas won't be allowed to poll watch in Philly and Pittsburgh)
Clinton’s 30-point lead in Florida Hispanic poll is ‘terrifying’ to GOP nationwide
It's a pretty consistent assessment that the Republican party has ALREADY been the whites only party for a while now. And yes, they're basically doomed.

AIM?
