Related: About this forumTrump 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 Trumps 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.

(146,317 posts)1. They won't get enough morons to actually do the work.
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.

I seriously doubt that.
If I saw any I would lie and say I voted for drumph.

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