I actually posted the first video earlier and asked Mercenary to explain how it met the law's criteria for voter intimidation.
And what Fox and others never showed was the second video that shows the cops confroting the two NBP party members; one of whom (w/o the nightstick) was an official poll watcher authorized by the city, a fact neglected to be reported by Fox et al.

The Voting Rights Act is pretty specific as to what constitutes voter intimidation, which is why neither the Bush D0J nor the current DoJ pursued criminal charges and why both sought civil injunctions against the guy with the night stick.
