"SNIP....
As threats to disrupt Election Day grow, some members of a far-right Trump superfan group are boasting about securing positions as polling station managers and supervisors while dozens of them are advocating violence on November 3.
Consider this polling station...ON LOCK DOWN
Thats what a member of the far-right message board TheDonald.win posted this week, alongside a picture of a South Carolina poll managers handbook.
The poster, utahbeachballs1944 responded to other users comments, saying my polling place is gonna be like trying to enter North Korea. Fucking LOCKED DOWN and added: I will be honoring the BLM movement by working in Blackface.
....SNIP"
