Planning something new and different? I recall about 1000 years ago, there was a dance called The Bump. Today, that same move would be called harassment or battery.

Cameras at state lines... and follow any buses leaving polling stations to see if they cross state lines.
Just ideas.

I hope Trumps campaign is ready for this. It is one thing to deal with a small number of states during the primaries at one time. But this is 120 million votes, and a majority will be cast on Election Day.

The turnpike in Kansas has live cameras at the toll booths available online. I wonder if other states have something similar.

Especially in neighboring Blue and Red States, right there we should have a big Trump sign that says, were watching and filming...That might get some people thinking and possibly getting cold feet.
At the minimum we have video proof, license plates etc.

Anyone can buy a chinese GoPro clone with wifi, stick them on the busses, follow vehicle within wifi range to get the recording of multiple stops of voters across the country.
Make the dnc cheating public, find the app that does tracking on a map, make it public and viral.

Remember on the video, they are using rental cars now to get around, and they might even be in state plates but rentals should be fairly easy to pick out- say when 6 people get out.
I wish I was close to a red state, I would do it for sure. But I live in a VERY BLUE area and am at least 10hrs drive to a VERY red state so not too much to worry about or that I can do on election day.

Your accident is between you and the driver of the van. Maybe a passenger is a witness as would be your passenger, but there is not just cause to even ask who everyone else is on the bus.

Get 12 friends. Go to your most demorat precinct. Demand to vote in the wrong precinct. Stand in the voting booth all day. Never give up the turf until the police come to remove you. 300 demorat votes discouraged.

If on Election day I happen to Bump a Bus, by accicdent . . .
Here's another idea: Follow the bus and take pictures of people getting on and off at various precincts. If the same people are voting multiple times, report them. Or better still, get on the bus. Pretend to be a dumb Dem voter without ID. See if they give you "instructions" on how to cheat the system, or a fake name to vote under.

About the idea of buses going from polling place to polling place.
My mother (1924 - 2007) was a life-long Republican . . . one of those old-fashioned Republicans who had not a mean bone in her body. She organized bus and van transportation for people who could not or did not want to drive to the polls. Her plan was: come to XXX church, have a cup of coffee and a piece of cake; bus/van leaves at 8, 10,12, 2, 4, 6. The bus/van would stop at several polling places BECAUSE PEOPLE CAME TO THE CHURCH FROM DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS. That is . . . there might be 20 people on the bus/van; some of them voted here, some voted there, some voted somewhere else. The bus/van would stop at a polling place, a few people would vote there because that was their assigned polling place; they would get back on the bus; bus go to next polling place; people who voted there would get off and vote . . . etc, etc, etc.
Too bad the freepers are too goddam stupid to understand this concept.

(4,168 posts)By all means, let these bumpkins keep a watch out for buses dropping immigrants off at precincts to vote. WHICH IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
If legions of Trump supporters park themselves at state lines, ready to take on these mythical buses of fraudulent voters, they're going to die of boredom.
If they're hanging out in parking lots waiting for a bus to roll in, they're going to need dozens of cups of coffee and donuts to stay awake.
They're making plans for a non-existent situation, which will keep them distracted so they can't bother real voters quietly going about the business of voting.
Monk06
(7,675 posts)A fake fender bender and a 911 call holds them at the scene until the police arrive unless there is no damage
I am not quite so sanguine concerning what these creeps will do
Remember the Brooks brothers riot in Florida during Bush Gore? A bunch of Republican congressional staffer physically closed down vote counting
radical noodle
(8,003 posts)I once had a fender bender in a parking lot when someone backed into me and the police told me that parking lot accidents, unless someone is hurt, is out of their territory, and to just exchange insurance info and go on.
Besides, won't that raise the insurance rates of the Freepers?
PoindexterOglethorpe
(25,863 posts)A very important point. These people are far too stupid to understand.

(4,973 posts)we need to be sending the info tho them so they are prepared.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)Now, churches use buses to bring voters, but if anyone tails one they'll just get to see mostly older to elderly people getting off back at the church.
Monk06
(7,675 posts)claiming someone may be have neck trauma just to stop the bus from moving and delay voting
That is exactly how they are talking on that thread
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)far more of a letdown than opportunity for those-who-can-always-be-fooled hoping to expose some vast conspiracy. Respectable older people in their church clothes are not exactly sinister.
And, these voters are in groups. I doubt that the vast majority of these gasbags would even get out of the house, but observations from social scientists are that social conservatives love to attack in packs--but not other packs: individuals. The situation would be reversed in this case.
And, anyway, it would be a strange minister who didn't have an eye out for trouble this year anyway. Aware pros versus idiots. I once worked in commercial insurance for churches, speaking with church officials and employees all day, and I'm really not worried about these particular voters.
Btw, I also once worked as a volunteer in the Los Angeles PD's Central Communications Department (911). I was very impressed with their ability to pick up on callers trying to use them to cause trouble for others. When I was new a couple of catches struck me as almost psychic, but of course they weren't. Not all PDs have the LAPD's experience, of course, but still, these guys would be far more likely to get a stern warning, or perhaps even a unit dispatched--to check them out, than the response they imagined they'd get.

(15,262 posts)Most of them won't even vote, too much exposure to bright light.
bucolic_frolic
(43,202 posts)that these buses filled with serial voters actually vote the whole
weekend - Saturday, Sunday, and Monday - immediately prior to
Election Day so they can vote in several states. They have back door
keys to the polling places, their own itinerant locksmiths on each bus,
and tip local cooperating operatives in envelopes stuffed with $100 bills,
and can thus often be spotted at national banking branches along the
route as they replenish their cash hoards. In addition, there are often
doughnut stops and runs on Krispy's at supermarkets. Look for the guys
buying dozens and dozens of boxes, sometimes two shopping carts, one
being pushed ahead, and one pulled from behind.
When the real voting starts on Election Day, these guys are long gone.
The votes are already banked, the buses on the way back to base, and
the traveling citizen voters are already shredding their documents, never
to be seen again.
Where is James O'Keefe? Someone should call him with this important
information and spoil the voting cavalcades.

Maeve
(42,283 posts)In Ohio--and I suspect in other states as well--you can go into the wrong precinct and demand to vote, but you will be forced to vote provisionally. On paper. You will be told that your vote may not count since it isn't your polling place. You will be limited to how long you can stay in a voting booth (5-10 minutes max). If your intention is to disrupt, you will be asked to leave and we will call the cops.
Not that these virtual warriors have the moxie to even try to leave the basement and do anything, much less ruin their momma's cars to hit a bus. But do go waste your time following church buses.

I can't stomach right-wing websites, so I'm probably not up to speed on the latest conspiracy theories, but I'm sure they have misinterpreted something like people being driven to polls. I imagine that buses or vans stop at several polling places, since people need rides to different polling locations. Is that where they get this ridiculous idea? Or is it that black people are doing this, and they can't tell the black people apart, so they think they are voting multiple times?
I just can't wrap my head around these ridiculous conspiracy theories. Then again, I live in the real world!
