We just posted an item about the Rightwing's pretend "non-partisan" "election integrity" group True the Vote having forged the names of its own volunteers in Franklin County, OH where they have now been barred from participating in poll-watching.
Now we see this from the Houston NAACP [PDF]...
As this year's election comes to a close, True the Vote, a Texas Tea Party group, has begun attacking the NAACP Houston Branch and our volunteer poll monitors for handing out water to voters at Early Vote locations and for assisting Disabled and Elderly voters by standing in line for them or asking younger people in line to let the elderly and disabled go ahead of them in the line to vote.
Carroll G. Robinson, Chairman of the NAACP Houston Branch Political Affairs Committee said, "It is a shame that the NAACP Houston Branch and its volunteers are being attacked by a right wing extremist group for being "Good Samaritans". The NAACP will continue to help elderly and disabled voters, as well as all other voters, exercise their right to vote."
