Walking passed a polling place on my way to work

I saw an older white guy with a hunting vest on and two big hounds watching people come and go to vote.
He could be just waiting for someone to vote. He surely wasn't out walking the dogs. I go that way every day and have never seen him before. He sure looked out of place.
I think he tried to look intimidating so I went up to the dogs and they were friendly.
I could be full of it but he looked like my idea of a tea party NRA winger looking for undocumented immigrants to harass.
This is CA and the right winger's boogie men are Hispanics,
