General Discussion

ago about this issue. They seemed to me to be taking a 'sky is falling' approach, and I pointed out that our job is to get out the vote and make sure people are registered, have a plan to vote and are working together. Not to mention voting ourselves

I went on to tell the person that there are others (you know Harris and Walz are ON THIS), and it is good to see DOJ involved as well.

You know what I'm thinking is that as much noise as Trumpy will make about 'bloodbaths' and so on, and these weird people who plan to 'monitor' voting sites with open-carry assault weapons, DOJ is gonna be on it, as well as a legion of lawyers. There was a number posted that people could save and call in case someone was trying to intimidate them while they are trying to vote.

This Garland thing is great because hopefully it will serve as a deterrant and instead of a horrible Jan 6 type mob, we will get a bunch of whimpers instead.

I'm in Colorado, so don't anticipate much trouble of that kind here, but there are others in different states, like TX and GA that may be in a different boat.

I did not save that 'who to call if people are intimidating you at the polling place' phone number, and if anyone sees this, and has the number voters can call, can you please post - maybe in its own OP, because it is that important.
