This election is getting so hateful and incendiary you almost dread election day. In Colorado voting is by mail so that risk is less here. But in other states where there is open carry law you wonder if some poll watchers that Trump is calling on will be armed. There is that risk and such a situation could be dicey.
Each time Trump/Pence and their allies say that it is a rigged election if Trump loses increases risk. And the other possibility is that they want to scare people from voting altogether by suggesting they will be confronted. And if some voters believe that these goons might be armed they may not show up at all. It just looks like there is a strategy to suppress the voter by open intimidation like we have never seen before. We are dealing with some very dangerous people.
I am not suggesting anything but I am wondering what is up. It just seem odd that under the radar the Trump and his cronies are telling people to monitor the polls.
This election looks like it is developing into a very screwball event.

Sadly hyperbolic hate is not unique to the right
