This happened in Roanoke, which is left leaning. Republicans are going all out to cheat in this election.

      That just works against your own interests. The point is people patrolling around glaring at people is voter intimidation. You think people will recognize “oh, that guy is on our side”?

      Even if that was the case, do you think knowing there are TWO groups that hate each other prowling around a voting location is less intimidating?

      We get it, you have a gun. You’re not helping.

        To be fair, if they’re Black, or have rainbow hair, and are glaring at the old white dudes wearing red, it would make me feel safer.
