“Oath Keepers Founder Says ‘Undercover’ Poll Watching Effort Won’t Intimidate Voters”

Ryan Reilly for HuffPo:

The founder of a fringe right-wing group issued a “call to action” this week asking members of the organization to go undercover to watch for voter fraud and voter intimidation at polling places on Election Day.

Stewart Rhodes posted his call to action on the Oath Keepers website this week on “Operation Sabot 2016,” to “help police ensure the free and fair election process is not stolen from the citizens of the United States of America.”

In an interview with The Huffington Post, Rhodes said Oath Keepers wouldn’t intimidate any voters because they are not going to be wearing any gear that would indicate they are a member of the organization. Rhodes’ post encouraged volunteers not to wear any Oath Keepers gear, and encouraged them to go “incognito,” dressed to “blend in” with the public.
