Huge Trump car caravan disrupted some voters in Temecula, authorities say

Source: LA Times

A massive caravan of President Trump supporters paraded for 60 miles through Riverside County on Sunday afternoon before converging on a large Temecula sports park, snarling traffic and upsetting some voters, officials there said.

The winding caravan of pickup trucks and other vehicles adorned with pro-Trump signs and American flags began at a Riverside restaurant and sped west along the 91 Freeway and then south on Interstate 15. They had been organized under a Twitter hashtag associated with similar events in other states.

The caravan, which was peaceful if boisterous, caused a disturbance for some voters at the Temecula Recreation Center, a voting location. The partisan signs, shirts and other materials near the center prompted complaints to authorities about potential violations of the 100-foot electioneering rule in state law.

“Law enforcement was contacted to ensure that access to the parking lot and voter assistance center were clear,” said Brooke Federico, a spokeswoman for Riverside County, said in an email. “The Sheriff’s Department responded and cleared access to the parking lot and voter assistance center.”

So, going into the election, Trump supporters will just start blockades of voting locations? I guess in Texas, Trump supporters could easily target the one ballot drop off area that serves over 4 million Harris County residents.

media. If you can match plates with someone bragging about interfering with the vote, that should be some kind of election tampering. Then also if any racial remarks were used, maybe a hate crime.

Election Protection Hotline, 1-866-OUR-VOTE, is there if you get intimidated, asked questions about where you're from, your citizenship, polling place closes while you're still in line, etc.

CALL & pull out your camera and get their faces and body on video and send it to the authorities.
