That means fewer Dems voting election day than would otherwise. Early voting might be the best way to vote in order to bypass both day of and mail voting.

And I fully expect the Trump team will tell them to interrupt and interfere with every voter of color and liberal-looking voter they see. That will not just upset the voters but slow the line even more. Some will leave because they fear the thugs yelling at them and others because the wait time will be intolerable. Dems have poll watchers and lawyers on call but not enough to put a stop to the ugly accusations and threats of physical and emotional harm.

something like this a week or a month ago?
I don't think we can simply rely on Republicans making our only effective campaign ads, while we seem to be doing a rope-a-dope strategy.
We need to come out swinging all day every day!

county party, have for years. We’ll be trained on how to handle republicans trying to intimidate voters. We’ll be ready for them.

it's all they have.

Bachman and her ludicrous Transgender Black Marxists, Cotton interested in premenopausal women's vajay-jays, and DeWine with the Democrats are coming for your guns.

And now, he's encouraging vigilantes with guns to patrol voting precincts. WHat could possibly go wrong?
