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

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.

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.

(32,645 posts)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.
