2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumPreparing for electioneering by privileged ex-presidents
I'm in one of the upcoming primary states. What is my best course of action if a guy with a bullhorn shows up with secret service, blocks roads, and prevents entry to my polling place?
Bring my phone? A "We want to vote" sign? Get a chant going and report it to the local news?

NOTHING privileges the big bubba over other Americans.

I live with a woman that talks rudely, has a loud mouth, and will continuously talk over you. No more. The tone and the siren come in handy.

I'd call every college student friend I know and have them get a group together to come down.

dueling bullhorns a lot of fun, too.

If he shows up, go listen. If might be very informative for you!

Here ya go:
It would not be the last time Shreve heard from Tassinari on Super Tuesday. Are there arrangements for voters to still be able to get into the polls? We just received a complaint from a voter who was unable to get near the polling place as it was blocked off because of Bill Clintons presence, Tassinari wrote. He was unable to vote and will not have an opportunity to go back.
