One of those trumpsters tries to block my path to voting and that flag pole will be up their butt hole. Just saying... I *might* pay to see that. |

Such patriots. I am disgusted that they have co-opted the American flag as their symbol. You weren't using it so we figured we would. |

It is shocking to me that certain people cannot see how the line that is running from the poll entrance through the lot by way of the planter (standing at 6' intervals so that people can socially distance) is being blocked directly with flag-waving barriers standing shoulder to shoulder. Shocking.

They were off to the side. They were not blocking anyone. They were not intimidating anyone. It's not that I choose not to see it, it is that these 2 actions absolutely do not exist in the videos posted here. Everyone was roaming by them and there was vast empty space into the building. I should not have to walk THROUGH a group of people to get to the polling place. I should not have to walk AROUND them either. The path should be unimpeded by those looking to sway my vote or intimidate my vote. The voting process should be simple and respectful for all involved...as it has been in every other election I've taken part in. Just because it doesn't intimidate you, doesn't mean it doesn't intimidate others. If what they did turned even one person away for voting because they didn't want to deal with going around people yelling and blocking their way, that's illegal and morally wrong. It isn't patriotic. It isn't even being a good human. It's disrespectful to your fellow Americans and to the process of democracy. It says a lot about those who agree and defend with what happened in Virginia today and it isn't good. |

I am so sick and freaking T.I.R.E.D. of the Trump supporters (NOTICE: I am making a distinction from conservatives and TRUMP supporters) and your snowflake bellyaching. There is not a doubt in ANYONE'S mind that if that had been a group of Biden supporters or Bernie peeps, Hannity would be wailing to the rooftops. For so long I have heard the term "snowflake" thrown at liberals or democrats but the truth is....it is you guys! You LOVE to throw sand in other people's eyes but when the tables are turned you cry that everyone is being mean. I see it on this board and I see it in real life. You don't like the state of things in America right now...well take a hard freaking look at YOUR president and YOUR Senate. They haven't done jack crap for Americans! And spare me your patriotic BS. If you loved the flag so much, where have you been when liberty and justice that our founding fathers put in place with the Constitution has been thrown in the trash?  |

You weren't using it so we figured we would. We always flew a flag. For years and years. Until it became associated with the current administration. I sincerely hope to be able to do so again. It is something we will begin again immediately if we get Biden as our president. I fly my flag proudly. Nobody going to co-opt that from me. I am a patriot. Can't wait for the fakriots to be thrown out of office. |

It says a lot about those who agree and defend with what happened in Virginia today and it isn't good. This. Absolutely this. Voter intimidation and suppression pure and simple. The right thing to do is ENCOURAGE people to vote, not try to intimidate them or stop them. I blame Trump for telling his supporters to show up at the polls. And all of his other attempts at voter suppression have shown his supporters that it’s OK. |

Wow, that must have been absolutely terrifying for them.
And here I thought the left showing up in droves to intimidate Kirsten Nielson/Sarah Sanders/McConnell in restaurants or their homes, doxing members of Congress and law enforcement, harassing and lunging at the elderly coming out of the White House, surrounding and shouting in the faces of innocent people in restaurants, rioting and setting buildings on fire while law enforcement was inside was bad.
That's nothing compared to this. Scary.

All of the examples that you listed are also wrong/bad behavior. They also have absolutely nothing to do with voting and allowing fellow Americans to vote without having to run a gauntlet. Which is also wrong/bad behavior. And grossly unpatriotic. Freedom to vote, along with freedom of the press, are two of the foundations of America as written into the Constitution. The right to vote is mentioned FIVE times in the Constitution. Anyone who tries to impede that Constitutionally given right doesn’t love our country, no matter how many flags they fly. |

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Voter intimidation and suppression is never OK. |

First off they aren't protesting, they're supporting.
Second, you have a still picture of people in line to vote with not a single person from the group of supporters in sight. And you have video of the supporters across the driveway from the front of the building with not a single voter in sight. There's a second video of supporters now on the other side on the building side of the driveway... off to the side, well away from the doors with vast open space in front of a bank of doors with people moving freely about, unimpeded.
Third, the video shows no aggression or intimidation of any kind. It shows
Trump supporters chanting "4 more years" and Biden supporters feeling free to chant "Biden for president" in return.
Fourth, this narrative comes from one person, with no actual evidence to back it up. Where are the other videos from people that were there? Where are the other eyewitnesses? Even axios says they weren't blocking the entrance.

There are restrictions on campaigning at polling sites for a reason. |

Protesting or supporting is irrelevant. If they were not doing anything wrong, why was extra security necessary to move them? Any why was the voting line moved if they were peacefully supporting? |
