1. Who do we report this to? There are watchdog groups that intervene.

ACLU?

Anybody know where to report this election interferance/intimidation to?

[HipChick]

12. Cops were called...

Still took a few hours for them to move..

[empedocles]

15. Why?

[HipChick]

20. They were trying to block folks from entering the building..

and voting..

[empedocles]

30. Why the delay?

[Budi]

23. Ok. Thanks. I believe a group formed by Eric Holder & Obama talked about election day interferance .

..they planned on having advocates stationed at polling places throughout the country.
Maybe that is for NOV 3rd.

They were quite organized in their effort & expected disruptionss to occur.

28. Yes! Thanks. Your post should be a seperate OP & pinned at top of the DU page.

Along with any others to call for assistance.

It would be a useful go-to resource from today thru Nov 3rd.

This is important stuff to know about.

Thank You..

Btw..Trump's cutting off comms with WhatApp as of this Sunday..🤬

2. The trump humpers were escorted back to 40 ft by increased security

The 40 feet thing is the law in VA

[empedocles]

14. Important

[FakeNoose]

3. Call it in - The county election board needs to stop this immediately

If Democrats were out doing it, you can bet the RWNJs would have already called the police.

[Frustratedlady]

4. Paid protesters? Sounds like Donnie Jr.'s tactic, or Lara's.

Lotsa people need jobs.

[chowder66]

5. I wonder how much these people are getting paid. They sure didn't seem like the typical supporter.

[HipChick]

24. They were loud and intimidating. trucks parked

with flags and Trump/Pence signs overflowing..

[rzemanfl]

39. Paid was my first thought as well. n/t

[DonaldsRump]

6. They are probably paid.

There are a number of PoC's, which is fishy right off the bat.

In any event, are they blocking voting? If they are behind the minimum distance from the polling place, it's their right. It doesn't look they are blocking.

Regardless, it's a pretty small group of folks who wouldn't intimidate anyone.

[RKP5637]

7. Hmmmmm ... imagine if it were democrats . Pepper spray and lockups likely. n/t

[pwb]

8. Tens of people showed up.

The less than high school crowd.

[DonaldsRump]

11. I think it is ten people...as in singular

[pat_k]

9. In NJ, people were stopped if they even wore a button.

Where's the effort to stop this electioneering?

[LakeArenal]

10. Actually kinda pathetic.

[GoCubsGo]

13. Yeah, just a sign of how desperate they are.

Just like the fake Ricin attack they're also claiming.

[LakeArenal]

16. Ha yea, that's a good one.

[SharonClark]

17. "Protesting" or pro-trump Rally?

Where are the other polling stations where this is happening?
Did anyone get a video that they are blocking voters?

[GoCubsGo]

18. It is neither.

It is voter intimidation, plain and simple.

[Budi]

26. Yup. Doesn't matter if it's 1 or 10 or 100.

It is election interferance & intimidation.

Not even 1 intimidator should be allowed.

[peacebuzzard]

19. Looks like craigslist response to me,

those citizens just need some cash to eat.
what a sad state of affairs.

[Ronjon55]

21. Wrapped in an American flag and carrying a cross

[smirkymonkey]

22. This is illegal.

Why are they not being hauled out of there?

[HipChick]

27. They were stepping in front of people

and trying to block them from entering the building....

Folks were being escorted into the building..

[smirkymonkey]

29. Seriously, this is not legal.

When are the LE officers going to step in and stop them? They need to be arrested. This is a fucking outrage!

[LisaL]

37. They are also not masked.

Voters are standing in line masked and socially distancing. If an unmasked Trumper gets close, that's intimidation.

[Blue_true]

31. Ignore them. They can intimidate, but they can't stop us. nt

[HipChick]

33. Right...Don't be intimated..

[NoMoreRepugs]

32. I was maybe 13-14 years old when my grandfather took me aside and told me that our

family motto was 'We don't take SHIT from NOBODY" - someone steps in front of me here in N Florida when I go to vote it's going to be bedlam. I am simply too old to give a fuck anymore.

[rzemanfl]

41. Remember that in Florida a penalty enhancer makes touching person over 65

without their consent a felony. I don't know if 65+=too old to give a fuck, but that's the law.

[consider_this]

34. Not only illegal - but stupid!

Do they actually think someone is going to change their mind witnessing/enduring that? If anything it might make some fence sitters (are there any) to note the illegal behavior and say 'hell no' and would certainly piss me (as a blue voter) off making me want to urge even more colleagues to vote ASAP.

[world wide wally]

35. They can't get their own voters out so they are blocking ours.

[LisaL]

36. So what are the Trumpers protesting there?

Voting in general?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

38. And not a mask to be seen.

Effing idiots.

[malaise]

40. Where are the effin' police

In my little shithole country, it is illegal to block polling stations.

Lock them up.
