Religious right groups training thousands of volunteers to help interfere in the election

Religious right groups training thousands of volunteers to help interfere in the election

Religious right activists are inserting themselves into the election process by gearing up to challenge votes cast by mail and watch for suspected fraud at polling stations.

Right-wing Christians and conservatives are training thousands of volunteers to challenge the validity of some votes cast in key battlegrounds states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, reported The Guardian.

Along with pre-programmed electronic voting machines, probably those that czarina owns patents on, no?

Going in groups may be wise, especially in key battleground areas. Still do social distancing, but bring friends (along with a folding chair, water, and snacks).

Separation of church and state goes both ways.
If the patriarchal religious right wants to become a PAC or other political organization, then tax the shit out of them on all their property and income.

If they take sides at all, if pastors and preachers get involved, then they are simply political clubs, no different from my book club or golf club, (well, dumber, and less athletic, most likely).
