I know most of you plan on voting on Election Day and that’s spectacular! We’re going to see a big, beautiful red wave on Election Day and it’s going to be glorious. However, malicious forces are aware that most republicans plan on voting on Election Day and they’re likely to roll out their typical book of tricks to try and stop us. You wouldn’t think these folks would be dumb enough to commit a federal offense, but they’re useful idiots and voter intimidation is something we have to brace for. Here’s what to do if you witness voter intimidation:
-
RECORD IT: Evidence is important. If you can record videos and take photos, it makes it harder for officials to ignore it.
-
CONTACT THE AUTHORITIES: Police across the country are going to be on high alert with all hands on deck.
-
ALERT ELECTION OFFICIALS: They have an obligation to document and report election intimidation.
-
KNOW THE DISTANCE: Most states put a limitation of 75 to 100 feet for electioneering. If any “peaceful” protesters violate these parameters, they’re already committing a criminal offense.
-
REPORT IT: The major media outlets will ignore it, but people like your state Republican Party chairs and even prominent conservatives with large social media platforms will not.
-
DO NOT CONFRONT: As tempting as it may be, avoid confrontation by all means necessary. They will try to goad you and they are prepared to get violent at the drop of a hat. We’ve seen it in shitholes like Portland, Seattle, and Chicago. If these criminals use violence, it may scare away voters or prompt officials to close election facilities out of “an abundance of caution”. Nothing is out of the realm of possibilities; we’ve seen how far these people have gone to suppress Americans looking to exercise their rights.
-
VOTE EARLY: If you plan on voting on Election Day, do it as early as possible to ensure you aren’t suppressed by any Election Day fuckery. These cowards operate under the cover of darkness and will probably wait till sundown before trying to escalate tensions.

I can’t go to today’s rally due to a prior commitment, but I did want to show up to watch AF1 land. Dozens of like-minded Pedes have shown up to Goodyear Ballpark to watch AF1 land.
That shit hasn’t been funny for two decades.
Unless the event is invite only. I typically receive emails for all Trump events, but I haven’t heard anything about this.
On Fox News today, I noticed people like Neil Cavuto were implying Trump’s tweet about the 25th amendment and where he’s shifted campaign efforts indicate he’s giving up. Cavuto and his guests seemed to indicate Trump has already conceded. DO NOT BUY IT. Do not be discouraged. This is a tactic to kill our energy and convince us not to vote. It’s a whole load of bullshit.
VOTE.
I don’t care if you live the bluest, most hopeless state or the reddest, most pro-Trump state in the country - vote on Election Day! If you have a friend or relative that plans on voting Trump but is bitching about having to work on Election Day or not wanting to wait in line, look into your state’s policies on early in-person voting. Also, some states require employers provide you time off to vote under certain circumstances (it varies from state-to-state). I know at least two Trump supporters that did not vote in 2016 because of long lines and because they felt their state was secured.
If this is a tight race, they’re going to challenge this all the way to the wire. Biden is already preparing his lawyers to challenge the results. If it’s an absolute mandate, there’ll be nothing to challenge, so we need every vote we can get. Don’t let Biden steal this election with shady fuckery! We cannot get complacent.
