Trump's Florida rally will be at an in-person early voting polling place -- side-stepping law

President Donald Trump intends to hold a huge rally at the Raymond James Stadium. The problem, however, is the location is also the site of in-person early voting, reported Politico.

Florida laws bar electioneering within 150 feet of a polling station. It’s safe to say being inside the polling station would classify within the boundary. However, Trump says that the polling station location is more than 150 feet from where the president will speak.” There will also be security that surrounds the area so voters who should have whatever access to the polls that they want could have problems.

BREAKING the law.

Unless they can demonstrate some loophole, it is breaking the law. You and I would be subject to arrest.

If they are in that district that is and usually the early voting places encompass several districts. Its Florida so I guess at least he won't leave them to freeze to death...

There are sound barriers to prevent the rally from being heard by the voters, right?

Despicable.
