Can the folks in this largely Hispanic & African-American area request assistance from the feds? This should not be happening in the United States!
Trump pollworker in Sanford, NC, thinks he's #Negan y'all.

From the Lee County Democratic Party FB page:
"More news from the front (the polling sites, which we have to describe that way because of the belligerent tone of the "we're veterans, and we demand you take our yellow ballot" volunteers).
This Rabin volunteer (employee?) is William Herrera. He lives in Harnett County, but he's in our county telling Latino voters in Spanish that those of us with blue ballots are baby killers and will deport them, so vote the yellow ballot. This intimidating and threatening message has been effective in some cases, and part of his conversation with a voter was recorded.
Translation:
Voter: But, this is what I say, what is the reason? How do you know if we're going to be deported?
Will: [English]You need to do your research, bro.
Voter: But, why? That's my question. What is the reason? What is your reason? To be deported? Why is it that you want us/them to leave like that?
We think this is intimidation; what do you think?"
These events haven't made any local or national news! I'm afraid this is going on all over NC to intimidate Dem supporters.
I have family in Lee County and was notified last night about this going on in the Sanford area.
Thanks,
David
