Election Shenanigans by citizens

[rambot]

I'm sure there will be another thread outlining what kinds of things election folks might be doing.


I thought it would be good to have a thread with the shenanigans that the electorate get up to.

Let's start with this:
Machete-wielding MAGA fan arrested for intimidating Dem voters

Machete-wielding MAGA fan arrested for intimidating Dem voters​

Luckily he was arrested because this is not Russia.

But what the heck America? Have their been many instances of this kind of behaviour in other elections?

So far, we have ballot boxes being burned and this.

Let's see what else comes up in the next few weeks.

MAGA, Republican and Democrats....all perpetrators welcome to be shared here!

"Free Gaza" huh? My senses are tingling. I want to say it but I don't think it is necessary.

I'm sorry but I don't really see the point in a list of lone individuals on either side doing something criminal, crazy, stupid and the like. Also considering most of the media is democrat/liberal, there's likely to be more negative stories about republican/conservatives. Especially right now. You know, cause we're supposed to be deplorable garbage.

Don't worry, I'm sure Fox News will pick up the slack for the other side.

And why would you want to?

. Also considering most of the media is democrat/liberal, there's likely to be more negative stories about republican/conservatives.

Conservative News sources just wont cover the story.
But I don't care. You think fox news won't report election shenanigans by Democrats? Get outta here. Maybe democrats won't fo any though. There's that possibility.

Especially right now. You know, cause we're supposed to be deplorable garbage.

Well, I'd make sure not to act like it, to prove them wrong but so far we've got a couple great examples.

That's not the idea of this thread?

I'm guessing major liberal news sources aren't coving it either since the article is from "Raw News".

Two whole people eh? Keep the gotchas coming.

"Several people pointed out a male who was walking away from the area as someone who battered or struck a woman. I was able to go get the guy, walk him over to the car and detain him," [police spox] Bossio said.

According to witnesses, Bossio said, the 17-year-old was walking away from a separate altercation with a male Harris supporter when he struck Tomasko and knocked her to the ground.

Tomasko said she did nothing to provoke the 17-year-old and she did not hear him say anything to her. In fact, she didn't even see him coming, she said.
