Anyone concerned with voter intimidation in full peak tomorrow?

I was just watching PBS news, and it seems Trump campaign has lots of volunteers called the "Trump army",
that are going to visit voting locations with the intention of intimidating voters.
Now the problem is, the local and state police are the ones who are supposed to respond to this.
We all know police have been turning a blind eye to recent activities by some of these Trump fanatics as
they are in bed with them.

Tomorrow is going to get much uglier with regards to voter intimidation, harassment,
as tomorrow should be the day when most votes will be cast.
I doubt the police will enforce any voter protection rules and this cold potentially result in loss of Biden votes.

EDIT for clarification:

I'm not worried about myself as I've already voted,
nor some of you guys here, but more concerned about the older crowds.

I expect violence at polling places tomorrow. I hope I'm wrong, but fuckface told his cult to go watch the polls, and I think they will.

I am more concerned about what will happen after the polling places close, tbh.

I'm not afraid of some white inbreds. I'll be going in to vote tomorrow and it'll be chill. As I demand it to be so.

These idiots are a joke. First off, I'm fucking jacked, so they wouldn't even try anything. Second, what are they gonna do? Stalk me in the voting booth? I dare them.

I think some of you vastly overestimate the amount of MAGA chuds who A) Have time for this B) Feel strongly enough to do it in the first place and C) Exist at all.

There will be a handful of instances of intense voter intimidation/suppression and they'll get blown out of proportion by social media/MSM. But no, there will not be a contingent of 20 Proud Boys at every polling location across the country.

Hopefully they're dumb enough to stand around and intimidate rather than stand in line to actually vote

At this point I don't think it'll matter. If anything it'll hurt both sides.

Yeah, but less worried about that than other forms of suppression like discounting ballots based on signatures and other bullshit.

But yeah, this year will certainly be the worst generations.

Quite worried. The stories earlier this week about roadblocks and road gangs harassing people will likely be much worse tomorrow at voting places. They're acts of terrorism, and the lack of response from the police is alarming. If some assholes block off a voting area and the police sit on their hands, then shit is going to happen and people are going to get hurt.

I'm really worried about violence breaking out tomorrow. Especially where I live as it's a heavily GOP area of California I live in.

A substantial amount of Democratic ballots get cast pre-election day.

Discouraging voters from showing up to the polls tomorrow disproportionately dissuades Republican voters, not Democrats. I can't say it worries me much.

I'm concerned for other places having to deal with voter intimidation. I live in a blue rural county in a red state. We got little over 1600 voters so I dont expect trouble on my end.

That being said I am going to vote tomorrow after work and if I someone tries to intimidate me I feel sorry for them.

I expect several incidents to take place, across the country. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a shooting.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

I mean, more Trump supporters are going to voting on Election Day than for Biden, so any fuckery is only going to hurt their own base.

Nah.
Trumpers are cowards. In the ensuing days I imagine some of your boogaloo boys types will try to pull some shit on general civil war/anarchy shit. But voting day, not really.

People are pissed. I don't know how much 'intimidation' you can do. Most that can happen is some shit pops off and a voting place is shut down.

But trying to manhandle folks into not voting? Not gonna happen. Particularly in the neighborhoods they need to do it in.

Someone made the point that long lines will extend past 100ft so there will probably be fuckery in the back. I really hope there won't be violence.

If shit happens, people won't be scared off from voting. People are angry, tired and completely fed up. Sadly, violence Will likely break out if that is the case.

i fully expect at least 3-5 deaths across the country due to altercations at the polls.

and trump will fully pull a both sides when inevitably asked about his supporter who showed up with a gun being the one who killed a voter.
