If someone threatens poll workers and voters with violence..then they go to jail

[Peacetrain]

end of story.. free speech does not mean you get to intimidate others to give up their rights..

I am just sick of it..

FBI go after them.. we can trace calls , emails, texts.. and if it is foreign actors expose them also.. and make sure we let those who support those foreign actors they are traitors to their country..

Proof is in the video of ANY voter intimidation. Have the phone numbers ready to call the FBI or the DOJ Civil and Voter Rights divisions.

You may call the Voting Section at [phone] or toll-free at [phone]. Have these numbers handy.

1. You're missing the word "not"

after “…free speech does…”

2. thank you thank you.. dyslexia strikes again

I am always having to update posts because of that.. I reread them after I write them and my brain will tell me a word is there when it isn't... you can imagine what taking tests when I was in college was like whew..

3. Agree

I’ve been an election officer for years, and I’ve never witnessed any kind of intimidation or threats, from either voters or poll watchers.

The only issues I’ve be encountered were during the 2008 election when a number of voters were upset that people behind them were getting to vote before them (there was a logical reason and it didn’t make them wait any longer, but they didn’t want to hear the reasoning) and last year when a voter was told (incorrectly) by another election officer that she had to have a mask on to enter the voting room. Once I cleared that up, she was fine.

5. Yep, the people who are making life miserable and terrifiying for other citizens

with their violent rhetoric and threats, need to cool their heels in lock up for a month or so.. enough is enough

4. Has the DOJ actually arrested anyone for voter intimidation?

Tues is a federal election, not just a state or local election. I'm sick of it too. If a few hundred of these domestic terrorists across the nation were charged with voter threats and intimidation, if might give some a moment to pause and consider the consequences.

DOJ needs to get busy about this.

12. Thank you!!!

Lets hope the DOJ starts prosecuting some of these nimrods

10. We just need to throw the book at them and make an example of these criminals

I completely agree with you. And the penalties should be harsh and publicized.

[Peacetrain]

13. All the way with that!

Put a few of those jokers on trial and people will think twice about trying to steal the vote through intimidation!!

11. Have your cell phones fully charged to video record any ILLEGAL shit that takes place.

Proof is in the video of ANY voter intimidation. Have the phone numbers ready to call the FBI or the DOJ Civil and Voter Rights divisions.

You may call the Voting Section at [phone] or toll-free at [phone]. Have these numbers handy.

14. Good info.. I will copy and put in body of my post.

That is why Mr Peacetrain wants to vote on election day.. just to give the evil eye to anyone who is there to cause trouble.. otherwise we usually vote early.. We are standing in line on Tuesday (should not be too bad, our town is not that big though this mid term has everyone getting out to vote
