N.D. Town Mulls Over Threat Of White Supremacist Takeover : The Two-Way : NPR: A tiny town in North Dakota is considering handing its governance over to the county to prevent a small group of outsiders from declaring a "white supremacist haven."
and The Los Angeles Times report that Paul Craig Cobb, a 61-year-old who moved to the town of Leith a year ago, planned to secretly bring in enough like-minded people to tip a local election in favor of declaring the town a "White Nationalist international community."
Cobb, who moved to Leith in May 2012, said on a supremacist Internet chat forum: "I want people to move now and quietly get going here without letting the cat out of the bag."
On the message board, Cobb said with just 16 residents, it would be easy to take over the city.
The says:
"After a Southern Poverty Law Center researcher tracked Cobb to Leith and that Cobb had purchased more than a dozen lots of land in the area, the town government of Leith is now considering whether to self-destruct so that Cobb can't take control."
