Trump campaign says it didn't hire armed guards outside Florida polling place

This is why we can't feel comfortable with polling, because polling assumes that people can vote and they will not give up due to long lines or being intimidated by armed Trump roving militias.

The Trump campaign is distancing itself from a pair of armed individuals who were camped outside a St. Petersburg, Fla., early voting location after reports that they were affiliated with the campaign.

Trump campaign deputy national press secretary Thea McDonald told local NBC affiliate WFLA that "the Campaign did not hire these individuals nor did the Campaign direct them to go to the voting location."

Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri also said Thursday that the two licensed security guards were not hired by the Trump campaign nor the Republican Party, CBS affiliate WWL reported.

County Supervisor of Elections Julie Marcus had said Wednesday that early reports were that the pair outside the voting location had claimed to be with the Trump campaign.
