The biggest problems we had were always with right wing douche bags wanting to stir up shit. If the police were ever called it was a right wing asshole with a sign or causing a problem.

Most people wanted to vote and go to work or go home for dinner. Sometimes a couple might talk about the weather, or so-and-so built a new garage.
