Know your rights and don’t let ANYONE stop you from voting!
VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE and know your ballot. Learn about local and state candidates. Let’s build the government we need from the ground up
Do keep in mind though, To vote you must be of legal age and have registered to do so. If either of these things is not right, They have every right to tell you to step out of the way and leave.
Trump’s followers are planning on acting as “poll watchers” to make sure the election is not “rigged” (defined by them as Trump losing).
It’s entirely possible we’re going to see some voter intimidation at the polls.
The only person who has the right to tell you to leave if you are not registered is an official poll worker.
Nobody else, including “poll watchers,” security at the polling building, etc.
Only offiicial poll workers, who’s job it is to check you are registered and who you say you are.
if you’re not registered, the official poll worker at the table will tell you how to register. until you’re registered, they won’t hand you a ballot. that’s the legal and proper way it’s done. any other attempt to keep you from voting is illegal.
if the poll worker gave you a ballot, and someone else tries to stop you, take their picture and tell the FBI.

So being an Independent Republican and someone who goes to our local GOP meetings, the poll watcher thing is real but they are under STRICT legal restrictions. This is something the Orange County GOP has been firmly informed on. If a watcher sees something, their duty is to speak to a poll worker. They CANNOT address the voter. If the poll worker does NOT act, they call a special hotline, the GOP “War Room”, and they contact the DOE. Any party and candidate can have a poll watcher. Democrats here will do it too. It is legally allowed. And they should not be condemned if acting LEGALLY.
