Unconfirmed social media reports of trumpeters marching w/flags and 2x4

outside of Stark Co BOE.

Not clear whether flags, etc are outside the required distance but 2x4 sound like intimidation. Hopefully reported if true.

No one votes for your damned candidate because you threaten them. Fucking idiots.

The idea isn't to convince them to vote for Trump. It's to keep them from voting for Biden.

that word gets around that people are being harassed and it deters some voters from coming down. I mean, it wouldn't deter me, but it might deter people who have a harder time getting to the polls, or don't feel well, have health issues, don't like to be hassled, etc...

As I noted in the other response, the intent is not to convert people to Trump. It's to keep people from voting for Biden. It's just another form of voter suppression.
