As threats to disrupt Election Day grow, some members of a far-right Trump superfan group are boasting about securing positions as polling station managers and supervisors while dozens of them are advocating violence on November 3.

“Consider this polling station...ON LOCK DOWN”

That’s what a member of the far-right message board TheDonald.win posted this week, alongside a picture of a South Carolina poll manager’s handbook.

The poster, utahbeachballs1944 responded to other users’ comments, saying “my polling place is gonna be like trying to enter North Korea. Fucking LOCKED DOWN” and added: “I will be honoring the BLM movement by working in Blackface.”

Utahbeachballs1944 is among at least four users of TheDonald who have posted pictures showing polling station manuals as evidence that they will be overseeing voting on Election Day next month, according to an investigation by VICE News.

VICE News has been unable to independently verify that these people are actually poll workers, but the photos they posted of official materials did not show up on a reverse image search, suggesting that they are photos taken by the posters themselves. The posts on the message board also match a pattern of activity we've seen before and come in response to specific suggestions from Trump that his supporters "watch" the vote.

1. Pure bullshit ....

If you get credentials to be inside the polling place you really can't say shit to
anybody and if you do your ass will be thrown out if I'm working there.

2. If hyper-dumb Utah dude thinks no one is going to notice him in blackface...

he's even dumber than he sounds.

The best part is that they think no one will notice if they "lock down" polling locations. These guys are even dumber than Trump.

3. I believe mr. balls. Not.

Another brave internet anonymous voice who won't follow through. I am sure he will be showing up in blackface, yell "THIS PLACE IS ON LOCKDOWN!", and be prepared to injure/kill as many voters as he can - knowing that he is in for a mass beating by the voters in that place. mr. bb won't show.

It's the Trump cultist who might mentally snap at the polling place and commit random violent acts of real violence that I would be concerned about.

4. I guarantee the Democratic Party has lawyers prepared for this

They have a team that focuses on this shit and will respond if necessary.
