A constituent called the police on a black candidate for the state Assembly while she was canvassing, according to a Madison, Wis. newspaper, and reported a suspected drug deal and suspicious vehicle.

Shelia Stubbs, who has served on the Dane County Board of Supervisors for more than a decade, was canvassing for votes in what she indicated to The Cap Times was a predominantly white neighborhood.

Stubbs’s mother and 8-year-old daughter, who are also black, were waiting in Stubbs’s car while she knocked on doors and introduced herself to voters.
==================================================
The police caller said he thought the waiting car was waiting for a drug deal & wanted them MOVED ALONG.

More 'living while black' paranoia.
