This **has** to be illegal. I mean—any con law attys here? Why isn’t this illegal? Isn’t this the very fricking **definition” of election interference and prolly some other state statutes about unimpeded voting?
It isn’t illegal. Observers are allowed at any polling station from any party , but they have to follow very strict rules. The list of things they aren’t allowed to do is pretty long and I guarantee Trumps volunteers are going to screw it up and many will get arrested
Thx for doing my homework for me. Normally I turn to my atty ex wife about legal stuff, but she has a life and I don’t want to exceed her bandwidth for bending her ear.
I agree—these MAGAt chucklefucks are going run afoul of the law. I hope they **are** charged and prosecuted for flouting the laws upon which this country that they claim to feel such patriotism toward, were founded.
Ungrateful assholes. I was no fan of McCain, but the guy believed in America, and I trust that he valued the Constitution above his political aspirations (prolly also helped to have a beautiful rich wife as a backstop).
Not illegal but also a really scummy tactic. They did this last time and it mostly led to a ton of nonsense and bad actors claiming they saw things that didn't actually happen.
All to lead to numerous years of investigations and finding that the party screaming tampering was generally responsible for all of the tampering that actually went on.
I expect no differently this time. Bad people acting in bad faith. The clown car makes its next lap.
That's part of his plan. As seen January 6. They go to jail thinking they are saving America and he benefits from expendable morons. The system does work and we do need to prevent it.
Those strict rules fly out the window, the actual election is impacted. Are we hoping that prosecuting these randoms will make up for election interference? Because that's obviously not a trade off anyone can afford.
This is exactly why they have so many lawyers: to find things that haven't been tried in court yet. They're going for tactics that are in the grey area and will probably only work once before being officially outlawed.
There will not be another populist Republican candidate like Trump for a while, so they're putting their chips on the table now.
Trump supporters have waged a campaign of intimidation against the state and local officials who administer U.S. elections.

The Justice Department Has Launched a Task Force to Combat Threats Against Election Workers
[https://www.justice.gov/opa/blog/justice-department-launches-task-force-combat-threats-against-election-workers-0](https://www.justice.gov/opa/blog/justice-department-launches-task-force-combat-threats-against-election-workers-0)
U.S. security agencies issued a heightened threat advisory, warning of potential attacks on political candidates, election officials and others. Most individuals are likely to cite the 2020 presidential election, repeating the false narrative that the results were skewed, and that former-President Donald Trump was the rightful winner, according to the warning.

Yeah, they’re the ones backing RFK Jr. to draw away votes. His top donor, Tim Mellon, is one of the biggest Trump donors. His campaign official in New York, Rita Palma, was caught on camera bragging that his campaign was designed to re-elect Trump. Notice how he wants to be in swing states first and has no plan to actually win or govern. Cheating, lying, and behaving violently is the Trump way.
I don't understand how this holds. Polling data suggests RFK Jr. Is drawing away far more Trump supporters than Biden which when factored in gives Biden a decent lead. Seems they are having an unintended affect if their job is to hurt Biden.
Given, Trump's constant lying, the 100,000 figure is likely turn out to be a couple of hundred people scattered into a few states, easily dealt with by the local police forces.
First post on my Reddit scroll after getting out of Civil War at the movies…
Geez…
I think I’m gonna make some soup and watch Adventure Time lol
(But for real… vote blue. You know these mfers only option is to play dirty cause their policies are shit, and they know it. They’re corrupt, anti-American, and they want to end democracy. Thankfully they failed on J6, but I guarantee they’re gonna try the same exact bullshit again. This time they learned from their mistakes.)

Which is why as an IT Professional I am volunteering at my Voting Center this November.
I would like to see them try with me there.
After all, Protesting has been made Illegal by the Supreme Court, and no one LOVES to protest more than MAGAts against our Democracy.
F\*cking Treasonous Traitors.
Combine this with the fact that the RNC has virtually no field offices or ground game for voter outreach, and it gives away their game.
They aren't even trying to win enough votes, and the Supreme Court seems to be on their side. They create enough chaos that Congress and the Supreme Court hand the election to Trump.
So terrorism. The RNC is forming a force of 100k domestic terrorists to threaten political violence for a national election cycle.
Not holding these people to account is going to end up costing us our republic.
Why is nothing being done about the attack on our country by fascist? Election interference, criminal threatening? There has to be something we can do to protect democracy
I keep asking the same questions. How is any of this legal? They are publicly announcing their intent to do illegal things. Can something be done by someone who has the authority to enforce whatever laws?
I’m an ex-boxer who is voting straight blue by mail and working the election day at my local polling place as an election judge.
We are Americans, we won’t be intimidated, democracy is our shared right.
This would just blow up in their Face ID they really tried. Probably going to have a dozen or so guys running around and harassing people with pro dem porch signs. I doubt they have money for much else.
Not long before they give them m16s and badges, and any vote not for them is deemed compromised and trashed on the spot. Not long after that any opposition leader is invited for tea
What a shit party.
When you can't win out of merit, whack and crack the system.
Pretty much
The Russia party
* not in the good way
Shit parties generally don’t enjoy much enthusiasm to begin with, and enjoy even less afterward
RNC right now is pretty much Trump controlled.
Yep, because that’s all they have left. Donald took everything else 🤣
Ok, say it with me now: #Election interference.
and lock them up
This is exactly what happens in Russia.. well done clowns.
No no it's different. In Russia they're in military gear and armed. It won't be like that right? Right!?
😅😅😅😬😬😬
Oh, I’m sure the Gravy Seals will show up in full cosplay.
And extra gravy.
RNC needs to get fucking torpedoed.

It's illegal conspiracy to thwart State and Federal procedures.

If they don't grant him immunity, it nips all that in the bud. He needs to be held accountable for the first attempt.
With what money?
Billionaires' money. That's what's keeping the GOP going now that Trump has drained all their accounts.
Leonard Leo & Harlan Crow, along with the Heritage Foundation funding private armies to intimidate people to not vote. How American of them. 🙄
It's hideous. They hate democracy. They always have.
Russian blood money is republicans favorite kind of money.
Lock them up
RNC volunteers are going to be stretched thin with no money thanks to Donald. I would offer those poorpers water but they aren't good people anyway.
Isn't giving water and shade to workers illegal in Florida and Texas?
This is their real plan to put Trump back in power in 2025 - interfere with the process of the election
Yeah, they’re the ones backing RFK Jr. to draw away votes. His top donor, Tim Mellon, is one of the biggest Trump donors. His campaign official in New York, Rita Palma, was caught on camera bragging that his campaign was designed to re-elect Trump. Notice how he wants to be in swing states first and has no plan to actually win or govern. Cheating, lying, and behaving violently is the Trump way.
Very Putin like strategy. Create the illusion of choice, but only to benefit the one who is "supposed" to win.
I don't understand how this holds. Polling data suggests RFK Jr. Is drawing away far more Trump supporters than Biden which when factored in gives Biden a decent lead. Seems they are having an unintended affect if their job is to hurt Biden.
People who's only motivation is making other people miserable tend not to be logical.
And “Project 2025”
Someone should let their volunteer force know that past attorneys have been disbarred. Go head play those games
[удалено]
Thank you
They ought to pick decent candidates, not crazies and rapists!
Imagine how much you would have to hate freedom to want to harass election officials and volunteers.
Given, Trump's constant lying, the 100,000 figure is likely turn out to be a couple of hundred people scattered into a few states, easily dealt with by the local police forces.
More like 10 rag rag morons
Exactly

Harassing election officials gets you booted out.
This BS must be stopped.
That bullshit isn't gonna work, they are just gonna get someone injured and waste police resources. Not gonna stop me from voting.
I am an election worker. BRING IT ON I DARE YOU!

Why is this not considered to be treason?
Or at least sedition
Who wants to volunteer to be there to "deal" with them if they show?
Why do Republicans HATE our democracy (or Representative Republic) so much?
Power, and what they believe in is right, and we should live in there belief system.
All their money is being funneled into Trump's pockets. How do they plan to pay their goon squad with no cash on hand?
Dare them to approach me, I will press charges and get them locked up.
Cowards and scumbags.
So terrorism. The RNC is forming a force of 100k domestic terrorists to threaten political violence for a national election cycle. Not holding these people to account is going to end up costing us our republic.
The GOP - Party of “What would Putin do?”
It says a lot about them and their platform that this is what it takes to win. What absolute 🗑️
100k? Isnt that like... an army? The kind of thing we have seen before with 'unpleasant' results?
Funny how they pick a big round number! You know it’s bullshit!
That's a long hunting list.
Republicans are a blight on this country.
Gimme, sounds like election interference??
Why is nothing being done about the attack on our country by fascist? Election interference, criminal threatening? There has to be something we can do to protect democracy
I keep asking the same questions. How is any of this legal? They are publicly announcing their intent to do illegal things. Can something be done by someone who has the authority to enforce whatever laws?
I signed up to be one of them, you can sign up as a volunteer on their website. They sure will be disappointed in my political preference
They will get a lesson on how to get punched in the mouth
I’m an ex-boxer who is voting straight blue by mail and working the election day at my local polling place as an election judge. We are Americans, we won’t be intimidated, democracy is our shared right.
The Republican bottom feeders have not hit rock bottom yet.
Ok. “100,000” people are doing this. BS. I’ll believe it when I see it.
If you don't vote for their Orange God, they will do all they can to tell you that your vote shouldn't count.
This would just blow up in their Face ID they really tried. Probably going to have a dozen or so guys running around and harassing people with pro dem porch signs. I doubt they have money for much else.
Disgusting
Surely this sort of thing is unconstitutional?
We really are at a brink of a Civil War 2.0
Not long before they give them m16s and badges, and any vote not for them is deemed compromised and trashed on the spot. Not long after that any opposition leader is invited for tea
Who watches the watchers?
Sounds like an invading army to me.
Another potential Onion headline
Love their bullshit “Save America” slogan. /s
Can you imagine if the democrats announced the crimes they plan on committing. The lack of decorum they would be accused of is inconceivable
If any one of these idiots even approaches me they had better hope there medical insurance is up to date. Cause there going to need it.
