Rachel: fRump violated Kaln law against intimidating voters at polls.Dems file lawsuits

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.

The 1871 Klu Klux Klan Act passed by Congress was for suppressing terrorizing voters by the KKK.

I'm not sure in this instance if my assumption is correct or not: I think they're so intertwined.

The DNC filed a lawsuit against the Republican National Committee on Wednesday night, alleging that the GOP was violating a 34-year-old court order that bars the RNC from using “voter fraud” as an excuse to suppress votes.
