People should go "Hannibal Lecter" on these folks... (illegal canvassers)

Hell, if they came to my door, I absolutely would say, "A census taker tried to test me once. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti."

Republican door knockers intimidate voters while hunting for voter fraud, say officials


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/republican-door-knockers-intimidate-voters-while-hunting-for-voter-fraud-say-officials/ar-AA13Gx2H?pc=U483&cvid=564856a2b9a8419bb537a7104d9c258f


The canvassers in California's Shasta County in September wore reflective orange vests and official-looking badges that read “Voter Taskforce.” Four residents said they mistook them for government officials.

But the door knockers didn't explain where to vote or promote a candidate, the usual work of canvassers ahead of a big election.

Instead, they grilled residents on their voting history and who lived in their homes, probing questions that might have violated state laws on intimidation and harassment, according to the county's chief election official.

At one house, they interrogated a couple about the whereabouts of their adult daughter. At another, they listed names of registered voters and demanded to know if they still lived at the address.

Nation-wide, I'm betting these canvassers are breaking more laws than they'll find voter fraud.

However demanding their ID so you can verify their credentials with the county sheriff would likely give an interest result.

Because election officials know that this behavior is illegal.

For them.

Remember, as more election-related crime occurs, keep your phone handy, get videos with clear face shots, follow them to cars and get license plates, and quiz them aggressively. Turn the tables, scare them away, and have evidence for prosecution.

Canvassers are there to encourage voters to vote and identify your base/ persuadable voters. This nonesense needs to be prosecuted.

The Repuke door knockers are going into Democratic areas and knocking on doors, asking people about their voting histories. The residents didn't realize they were giving information that could be used against them and could disqualify their vote. By the way, it's illegal for door knockers to ask those questions, but the residents didn't know that.

The Repuke door knockers only have one objective - find voter fraud anywhere and everywhere. And only find it in Districts that have lots of Democratic voters. Are they still trying to prove that the 2020 election was fraudulent? Yes they are. Voter fraud is under every rock, behind every peephole, and they won't stop until none of us can vote.
