People voting in person should have their phones out and ready, when heading in to the precinct

in case of any 'encounters' they might have in the parking lot. And have the number to report voter suppression speed dial loaded into those phones.

I keep telling myself that I won't encounter any problems in my deeply Blue district, but then that might just make my district an even bigger target for challenges and harassment. I've never seen any Proud Boy types but I have seen a truck outfitted with a confederate battle flag and painted with that 'Boogaloo Boys' style motif. And there are militia groups in the outlying areas.

Until last night, I had kind of put my concerns about them to rest.

1. Great idea! I'd have the video going also.

If there’s a problem can always live stream on FB.

3. Great idea. I'll have to get the kids to show me how to do that.

I'm getting too old to have to put up with this kind of $hit.

5. Me too! But much better at shutting it down

than when I was younger.

2. I have NEVER seen any obnoxious Trump support in my area until the past

2 weeks in which I saw:

1) A freaking golf cart with a huge Trump flag on the golf course right near my home.

2) The classic red pick-up with Trump and confederate flags in the Home Depot pick-up area.

They're out there.

I am in New York State, but I live in a red pocket of the state.

4. up to all of us to be poll watchers to help out as well and if possible be election judges

6. I was wondering how to volunteer for this

In a swing state district where voter intimidation might play out or threaten to. (My district is super blue as is my state). Just to shield
Folks or protect their rights (as a fearless mom/grandma). Could use some walls of moms to support unfettered voting as certain places.

7. call who ever is over elections in your county, typically a "county clerk" office
