Jen had already written about Latino voters being intimidated in Cali pre-election, but now after the election more cases across the country of Latinos being intimidated are coming to light.
In Colorado, Latino voters received phone calls on Monday (similar to calls in Virginia), where callers told them they that if they voted they would go to jail.
Latino voters intimidated in California

Greetings from the great state of California, where some members of a certain infamous county’s GOP think it’s okay to threaten people over mail and scare them away from the polls. They aren’t getting away with it, though.
It seems that a Vietnamese immigrant running for Congress (check out the awesome photo of him after the jump, courtesy of his website) on the Republican ticket in Orange County thought that sending anti-immigrant hate mail to Latino voters would be a productive way to sway the polls his way:
State investigators have linked a Republican campaign to letters sent to thousands of Orange County Hispanics warning them they could go to jail or be deported if they vote next month, a spokesman for the attorney general said.“We have identified where we believe the mailing list was obtained,” said Nathan Barankin, spokesman for Attorney General Bill Lockyer.
