The Ku Klux Klan and white nationalist groups are going all-in for Donald Trump, planning efforts to monitor polls, mobilize Trump voters and discourage African-Americans from casting ballots on Election Day.
Groups including the Nationalist Socialist Movement and the American Freedom Party have taken up Trump's call for supporters to watch polls, ostensibly to protect against voter fraud and a "rigged election," according to a Politico report.
In a lengthy email to Politico, an unidentified representative of The Right Stuff discussed plans to "monitor anyone that comes in to vote and make sure that the same people are not voting at multiple locations."
The representative claimed supporters already had set up some hidden cameras in "black schools" to catch potential vote fraud, and other teams would be "going into the ghettos in Philly with 40s and weed to give out to local residents, which we think will lead to more of them staying home."
White nationalist groups have embraced Trump and his message. A KKK leader said members will be working to get Trump supporters to the polls, while a quarterly newspaper affiliated with the group, The Crusader, dedicated the entire front page of its current issue to what amounted to an endorsement of Trump.
"While Trump wants to make America great again, we have to ask ourselves, 'What made America great in the first place?'" the article says. "The short answer to that is simple. America was great not because of what our forefathers did – but because of who our forefathers were.
"America was founded as a White Christian Republic. And as a White Christian Republic it became great."
