In reply to the discussion: Trump campaign says it will deploy 'soldiers' to polling places [View all]Hekate
(90,885 posts)I had several retired lady friends who absolutely loved volunteering at the polling places for years. Then came the Trump Years, and big lurking males were empowered by the Right Wing to act as observers which meant they hung over my elderly friends shoulders, looking at the signatures in the books of voters.
One of my friends was very explicit about the first time she experienced that intimidation being the reason for making it the last year she ever engaged in that civic exercise.
So, what kind of uniforms are Trumps soldiers going to wear? Will they have badges and weapons? How will we know if they are who they say they are? Will state, county, and local officials be empowered to keep them out of the building, and indeed, keep them 10 feet away from the doors?
