Trump plans his own "exit poll" in cities with large minority populations on election day

https://politicalwire.com/2016/10/21/trump-loyalists-plan-exit-poll/

“Donald Trump loyalists will attempt to conduct their own crowd-funded exit polling on election day, ostensibly due to fears that electronic voting machines in certain areas may have been ‘rigged’,” The Guardian has learned.

“But the effort, led by Trump’s notorious informal adviser Roger Stone, will focus on 600 different precincts in nine Democrat-leaning cities with large minority populations, a tactic branded highly irregular by experts, who suggested that organizers could potentially use the polling as a way to intimidate voters.”

If any show up, they'll just lurk and loom for an hour or two and then leave. Trump supporters are too afraid to go to "certain areas" in the first place.

Not happening.

Just to piss them off.

for voter intimidation. There is a law against that, right?

Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, or Resident Commissioner, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
