RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina officials are decrying the
appearance of a casket with an anti-Barack Obama sticker at a
Cravens County polling place.
State Democrats said Saturday the coffin and sticker are an
attempt to intimidate people voting early. Republican Party
spokesman Brent Woodcox told The (Raleigh) News & Observer that
citizens should be outraged.
The NAACP says the casket was in place for at least several
hours. A bumper sticker on it showed an image of Obama and the
phrase "O' No!"
Meanwhile, federal officials say Justice Department personnel
will monitor voting Tuesday in several counties in North Carolina
and South Carolina as part of a nationwide effort to protect voting
rights and prevent fraud. Observers will be in Alamance County,
N.C.; and in Dorchester and Georgetown counties in South Carolina.
