Red Herring

 The President is blatantly urging his supporters to congregate at polling places, go inside, and ostensibly harass and intimidate voters. [More]

Oh, look, a new talking point!

Citizens have the right to watch for irregularities while they are there and report them to poll workers. I can't speak for all states, but here in Ohio:

Persons Checking the Official Precinct Voter Registration List - Any person may enter the polling location for the sole purpose of checking and taking notes from the Official Precinct Voter Registration List that is posted at 6:30 a.m. and updated at 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Such persons may not wear any campaigning clothes or accessories and may not interfere with or disrupt the election.

I recall doing the same thing in CA when I was working on a pal's campaign for state assembly. In that way, we were able to ID delinquents and light a fire under them to get them to the polls.

Herring just invited angry confrontation with everyone who is doing that.

No shidt.

And where was Herring on the whole ugly New Black Panthers voter intimidation case?
