So I've already seen tons of coverage on this issue this morning- Black Panthers and such at the polling places of major cities, UN "observers", etc. But really, what are they doing exactly? I mean, you go in, you cast your ballot, you leave. Are they asking "Who are you voting for?" then threatening people if they didn't vote for O? Assaulting people? I didn't see what came of this in '08 (sorry I was too busy gearing up to go to Afghanistan during the election season).

Just wondering, because it would seem to me that there would be mass arrests (or worse) if people were really getting legitimate threats from the BPP.
