Again from Bartle Bull's affidavit; "I watched the two uniformed men confront voters and attempt to intimidate voters. They were positioned in a location that forced every voter to pass in close proximity to them. The weapon was openly displayed and brandished in plain sight of voters." He also said they tried to "interfere with the work of other poll observers ... whom the uniformed men apparently believed did not share their preferences politically," noting that one of the panthers turned toward the white poll observers and said "you are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker."

I would suggest you read page 5 of the linked document:
"A black poll worker who happened to be working for the Republican Party was called a race traitor and promised that there would be hell to pay if he emerged from the polling place, according to eyewitness statements. He was so alarmed by the Panthers' presence that he would not leave the polling
place until they left."
Open and shut.
