No link yet but right now Rachel is taking us through it:
Back when the Klan was stronger they used to keep people away from polls and so this law was written against intimidation.
fRump has links to sign up to be "poll watchers" and self-appoint themselves as guardians of the polls.
Several law suits by the DNC are citing fRump, the campaign, and others funding and assisting him.
That. Will. Make. News.
