I’ve had hunters point their rifles at me very close to the voting pole, and I’ve had poll workers yell out my party affiliation when I got to the table. I’ve also had A GOP supporting poll worker walk into my booth and try to show me how to vote ( pull a straight red ballot), none of this stopped me from casting my blue ballot.

@BackyardShaman Damn, I don't want to live where you do. Folks are "hunting" at polling places?

The other stuff's pretty egregious, but it seems pale in comparison to having a gun pointed at you on the street.

@MistyCee I filed an official report, along with some other voters and admittedly some of those co concerned being conservatives. I had no answer other than “yeah they’re not supposed to”, but actually I’m hopeful it’s not gonna be that way again tomorrow. November is prime hunting season here, so they can easily park near to the pole and have their rifles out and claim they were just cleaning them.

@BackyardShaman I'm glad you filed a report, but my guess is, it's your word against theirs as far as whether they assaulted you or were just excercising their 2nd Amendment right to threaten everyone around them with being armed.

I'm glad you're ok, hope that they don't shoot anyone, and that the country will do ok, in spite of the threat of violence being ever present and acceptable.
