The U.S. government has filed a lawsuit against the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense alleging the organization intimidated voters at a precinct polling place in Philadelphia during the Nov. 4 election.
"Intimidation outside of a polling place is contrary to the democratic process," said Acting Assistant Attorney General Grace Chung Becker in a prepared statement.
"The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed to protect the fundamental right to vote and the department takes allegations of voter intimidation seriously," she said.
The complaint explains party chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz confirmed that Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson were placed at the polling location in Philadelphia as part of a nationwide effort to deploy New Black Panther Party members on election day.
The government explained in its filing in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia that Shabazz and Jackson wore theuniform of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, and Shabazz repeatedly brandished a police-style baton weapon.
A Fox News report of the incident has been posted on YouTube. It also has been embedded here.
On the AmericasRight.com website, Jeff Schreiber reported the pair assigned to the polling also "hurled racist comments and racial slurs at voters and prospective voters."
A statement on the website of the New Black Panther Party stated tersely that the Philadelphia chapter of the party "is suspended from operations and is not recognized … until further notice."
