...voters as 'suspicious'...
***
What a, uh, surprise...racist-thug behavior from racist
thugs...?!

James Womack, the Chairman of the Lee County, North
Carolina Republican Party, was caught on camera telling
poll watchers to be on the lookout for local voters with
"Hispanic-sounding" names.
CBS News reports that Womack's remarks were made during a
virtual meeting of 1,800 poll watchers in North Carolina.
"If you've got folks that you, that were registered, and
they're missing information… and they were registered in
the last 90 days before the election, and they've got
Hispanic-sounding last names, that probably is, is a
suspicious voter," said Womack.
"It doesn't mean they're illegal. It just means they're
suspicious."
Womack is the founder of the North Carolina Election
Integrity Team, which CBS News describes as "a group of
self-described patriots dedicated to investigating the
election for what they perceive as incidents of fraud."
Womack told CBS News that the group is mostly made up of
retirees working at home with their computers to analyze
voting records.
There has never been any evidence of undocumented
immigrants voting in large numbers and Juan Proaño, the
CEO of the League of United Latin American Citizens, told
CBS News it would make no sense for such immigrants to
take such a massive risk to vote in an election when many
of them are in the United States to make money to send to
their families in their home countries.
"It's very much a myth," he said. "But the campaigns have
essentially used it as rhetoric, again, to try and
suppress and intimidate the Latino vote."
