I’m not altogether sure that this counts as the influencer mentioned may not be a Republican, and if it doesn’t fit I’m sorry. I hope the postal worker doesn’t have any problems.
This isn’t necessarily a steal but I doubt they are there to protect democracy:
Full title: Proud Boys claim they’ll be at polling places as Trump ups violent rhetoric and election fraud claims
As Donald Trump yet again tells his supporters he can lose Tuesday only if there’s massive voter fraud and as he ramps up violent rhetoric about Democrats and other “enemies,” members of the far-right group that put more “boots on the ground” than any other at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, say they’re mobilizing.
It’s been mentioned elsewhere, but I really do think there’s a possibility of isolated violence at random polling locations tomorrow. Reports like this do nothing to alleviate that concern.
I know there have also been reports of elections officials and law enforcement preparing for that distinct possibility. So hopefully it’ll be a whole lot of noise, but nothing too serious.
Michigan, (where I’m at), has a history of outsized influence by militia groups, so who knows?
I am also reminded of news coverage from election night of large groups of people gathering outside precincts after the polls had closed. IIRC, they mostly dispersed peacefully after a few hours though, so maybe it will be something like that.
Sorry wrong thread.
