I liked this part:
Okay, so that sounds bad.
“Tried to get the vote out”? This is a polling place! The vote is already out, and electioneering at a polling place is almost certainly illegal - I know it is in Minnesota.
This lady was being an asshole - in other words, a Trump voter.
The Trump campaign has already set to work making their desperate attempts to smear campaign officials in Pennsylvania. Earlier this week, the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee Co-Chair Michael Whatley accused election officials in Delaware County of “actively suppressing” voters after one woman, a Trump supporter, was arrested at a polling station, according to ABC News.
Okay, so that sounds bad.
Delaware County officials said that the woman had been “disruptive, belligerent, and attempting to influence voters waiting in line.” Later, officials said that the woman “did not get in line for any service,” loitered in the lobby for nearly two hours, and “approached various individuals,” which prompted complaints.
In a video with Whatley, the woman claimed she had been arrested “for exercising my First Amendment right” as she “tried to get the vote out.”
