It’s straight up intimidation is what it is. How long before it gets violent? Even without that people thinking it looks bad or even too busy Fuck it I’m going home. But it’s intimidation. No two ways about it.

If this is intimidation, what is it when there’s looting and arson?
I think they’re way off base but as long as they do it peacefully they are within their rights.

Surely you can appreciate the difference between (largely corporate) property damage and blocking voting site access during a pandemic, no? In each case, someone might *feel* intimidated, but the effect of that intimidation is not the same.

I get the difference, and I also get the difference between what is real and imagined. Intimidation requires more than presence. Peaceful protesters are intimidating in the same ways a black man is intimidating to a cop. It is quite possible harm is meant but odds are extremely in your favour you are entirely safe. I would be very comfortable with large bubble zones created around polling stations.

Haven't you been sheltering in place for 6 months?

It might depend on state--I think this is the law but seldom enforced.

Are electioneering laws not widespread?
We've had local campaigns ask us to put up yard signs because we're just over 100 yds from a (former) polling place.
