Okay…so everything about voting is super intense this year and I hope everyone who is reading this is registered & planning on voting in this election. There is a lot on the line and I want to make sure that this site provides you with all the information you may need. Taking away the right to vote, trying to intimidate voters, and attempting voter suppression are all illegal. Know your rights and what to do if you encounter any issues between now and election day.

I had already been planning on writing an article on voting rights today, but as I was reading some news headlines this morning, I decided to look at Trumps Twitter to see what he was up to. I read his tweet “Join Trumps Army,” and immediately thought “is that even legal?!?” Literally guys, I hope we make it to 2021 at this rate, because his groupies seem like they have nothing to lose and are willing to risk it all for Trump (why tho?). What Trump is doing by militarizing the election and his supporters (or shall I say his troops–since they seem to think they are literally in this army club he created) is just an attempt at intimidating voters. To answer the question of legality, I think on the surface it is. In my opinion, however, I think he knows that he has a large group of supporters (kkk, proud boys,white supremacists, etc) who are listening to his every word and ready to fight his battle. So his army webpage may not say something like “don’t be afraid of using your guns or intimidating voters,” but by making this recruitment site that has options like “register voters, hold a maga meet up, etc.” is his attempt at making this look like legit campaigning. Of course with an end goal of having his peeps waiting outside polling places on election day with their big guns policing the area– just like that Kyle kid did during the Kenosha protest. And by the way: voter intimidation is illegal, in fact it is a federal crime. Articles are dated back to last month about this recruitment site, so this was an idea before his debate last week when he told the proud boys to “stand back and stand by & to keep a watchful eye” on voter fraud on election day…but the way Trump and his supporters see it, voting legally for Biden is voter fraud LOL this is crazy. IDK but his whole army idea really reminds me of that whole college idea he had– which ended up to actually be fraud & illegal. When I was looking around his recruitment page, the election day team was the only team (out of 9) that in the sign up sheet had the question, “are you a lawyer?” IDK I’m getting serious cult vibes by this all. All I’m praying for is that a full out civil war doesn’t break out on Nov. 3–well that isn’t all I am praying for. Lastly before I post any information about your rights I want to end with the fact that a strong leader would fix any issues they saw with voter fraud/voting by mail or whatever, rather than just whine that the election is going to be the “greatest election disaster in history” & brainwashing his cult in advance that the results will be “rigged,” which I’m assuming is true only if he loses.
