So...he's been officially warned to stop, right?

Now I'm curious on what the laws are. Everyone's familiar with the signage of no campaigning past a certain distance from the polling area, but wouldn't any activity that isn't actual voting related be considered trespassing right now? If an official there told them to leave and they refused, wouldn't that mean the police or sheriff gets involved?

Vote anyway, so we can be sure to catch this type of expression after Election Day.

Level 2: You hit the alarm off, not the snooze.

Intimidation comes in all forms. Let's just say that this is not normal behavior around a polling site, and given it's inside it's definitely past barriers for anything beyond casting your own vote. Toss them out, even if they are just lost early Halloweeners.

Yep, used that site for the local stuff to trace back candidate histories and how they answered questions. If you're ever a candidate for anything, be sure to make some effort to fill some of that stuff out, as people are looking for something to work with. A blank profile with no idea of who you are vs. someone who has at least a line or two makes a big difference. These non-political party positions are hard enough to make choices, we need more than a name to work with.

Also, a huge help on the amendment side. I had no clue which way to go until I got some decent background on what the point was, and who had pushed for it to be on the ballot. Follow the money.

And no one was surprised.

"I absolutely support paying a minimum wage."

"No, raising the minimum wage."

"What, higher?"

Who held the majority in Congress during all those failures?

This has to be the result of yes-men surrounding him. This was absolutely his idea, in his mind it would change everyone's opinion of him being above the common person. Any PR person would have seen this as the disaster it was, but they can't tell him no directly. It's like the captain of the Titanic, only he's steering into the iceberg. Let him cook (literally), just don't eat anything.

But still go vote. Nothing is a given, even a sinking ship.
