Also if your polling booths are like ours then you go into a private pod to cast the vote, ergo these men with guns would never see who you are voting for (not that this makes any if what they may have done right, but it's not like in zimbabwe (sp?) were folk were forced to vote openly in front of armed guards)
The police were called that is why they were moved from one polling place! As fro the intimidation factor. Your right you go into a private booth but if your not so sure of yourself and have a certain amount of paranoia you might believe that someone could tell who you voted for....
You can actually see videos of these guys being questioned by voters on youtube. These guys were attempting to keep people AWAY from the voting who might not vote the way they thought they should.
