On Tuesday, Breitbart.com reported that retired Navy SEAL Ben Brink told Fox News that he is reaching out to former special operations personnel to help monitor polls, especially in areas where voter intimidation has been reported.
“The nation saw the video of members of the Black Panthers in Philadelphia intimidating people trying to vote in 2008. We are going to try and make certain that nothing like that happens this year,” he said on the Larry Mendte show, according to a report at Phillymag.com.
"Don’t let the bravado fool you," Mendte wrote. "The mission, according to the Captain, is to observe and report, not to engage. 'We are going to watch for intimidation, videotape it, if possible, and report it to the proper authorities'.”
"Brink claims to have over a hundred former Army Rangers, Navy Seal, Delta Force, Green Berets and others who have volunteered for duty. The idea of Navy Seals and Black Panthers getting into it at a Philly polling site gives a whole new incentive for casting a ballot," the report added.
“Our guys aren’t easily intimidated,” Brink added.
