Rand Paul Supporters Removed from Polling Places
Sheriff’s deputies in Kentucky have been removing Rand Paul’s loony supporters from polling places, after numerous complaints of harassment, voter intimidation, and electioneering: Deputies called to remove campaign workers.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — State and local officials say backers of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul have been removed by sheriff’s deputies from an eastern Kentucky polling place after complaints that they were harassing voters.
Officials say Paul supporters were also asked to leave precincts in another county Tuesday while conducting exit polling.
Secretary of State spokesman Les Fugate said voters complained of harassment and electioneering by Paul supporters in Laurel County and exit polling in Jackson County. Secretary of State Trey Grayson is Paul’s primary opponent on the ballot.
Rand Paul’s campaign manager suspects a conspiracy, which is typical.
Paul’s campaign manager, David Adams, called the allegations “dubious,” saying Democrats may have been behind the incidents.
And that’s not all.
In Laurel County, as polls opened at 6 a.m., someone who said they were with the Paul campaign asked to inspect voting machines, which is allowed before the election but not during voting.
According to Laurel County Clerk Dean Johnson, the sheriff of the voting precinct asked the person to leave, and Johnson instructed the person on the phone that they “had no business being there.”
Just Paulians doing what Paulians do. The sun rises in the east, and Paulians act like obsessed loons with no social skills.
