The North Carolina NAACP says a New Bern man who is displaying a casket outside a polling station has crossed the line.
Bill Harper, a former commissioner in Craven County, displayed this coffin with Barack Obama stickers on it.
The NAACP says it intimidates voters and appeared to be an obvious threat to Senator Obama and a warning to him to stay away from North Carolina.
The group says they will be filing formal charges with the justice department on Monday.
Harper said earlier this week he has used the coffin before during the Bush - Clinton election.
The NAACP says they are contacting the State Board of Elections, Justice Department and the Attorney General for an investigation.
