Obama did it before we cant be spineless here they are gonna threaten voters

The conduct for which members of the New Black Panther Party were accused of voter intimidation took place on Election Day in November 2008, at a polling station in a predominantly African-American, Democratic voting district of Philadelphia.[4]
Two members of the New Black Panther Party, Minister King Samir Shabazz, and Jerry Jackson, stood in front of the entrance to the polling station in uniforms that have been described as military or paramilitary.[5][6] Minister King Samir Shabazz carried a billy club, and is reported to have pointed it at voters while both men shouted racial slurs,[7] including phrases such as "white devil" and "you're about to be ruled by the black man, cracker."[8]

sounds to me like two dudes acted independently, and had absolutely no effect on the actual election

100k+ people lining up outside black-majority polling stations with guns and full tactical gear is completely different, especially when those people are actively recruited by the politicians in question
