    In what other ways as well? Concealed-carry volunteers willing to delay and obstruct ICE presence? Hopefully there’s enough armed leftists around willing to do this. It could mean imprisonment and death for them. We’d also have to be prepared for the possibility of intimidation through violence and opposing access of fascist goons to areas around the ballot booths and boxes.

    At the juncture, they’re going to try EVERYTHING to repudiate the election results. It’s certain that Trump will declare martial law.

    I’m all for doing SOMETHING, but I haven’t really been inspired by the responses of our elected officials and judiciary thus far and remain very skeptical as to what they will do.

      I really really hate even thinking about it, but everyone who is confortable handling a firearm needs to carry one to the polls. Not because everyone is going to form a militia, but because it will make anyone trying to intimidate people consider their actions more carefully.

        Make sure it really is concealed and there’s no metal detector at the entrance. It is a federal crime to have a firearm around voting polls. The jackboot thugs have no problem using the law against you, while disregarding it themselves.
