Trump and Friends are planning extreme violence at polling stations to intimidate voters.
The "Trump Election Poll Watchers" are armed far right thugs and trained mercenaries.Former US military Special Operations soldiers are being recruited to watch polling places in the battleground state of Minnesota.
The recruitment is being organized by a private mercenary group, Atlas Aegis. A lawsuit asserts that Atlas Aegis is violating the Voting Rights Act of 1965.In the lawsuit, CAIR-Minnesota and the League of Women Voters of Minnesota contend that the “defendants’ intentional recruitment of armed, highly trained, and elite former military personnel in the context of ‘protecting’ the polls serves no purpose other than to intimidate voters.”
The lawsuit notes that the “threat [of violence] is terrifyingly credible given the concrete steps [Atlas Aegis and its executives] have already taken to recruit those armed personnel."
