GOP Watcher Alleges Panther Intimidation
A Republican poll watcher in Philadelphia called police alleging that two members of the New Black Panthers group were intimidating voters at the polls today. However, police and investigators from the D.A.'s office said they found no evidence of intimidation. Another Panther at the scene said he was there to protect voters from "media agitation." Meanwhile, a D.A. spokeswoman said that the day had been "remarkably quiet" compared to the 2004 election. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
