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. Its 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.

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

Despicable.
