Democrat operatives have always been thugs.
Union strong-arm tactics are legendary.
The best way to eliminate their election day "terror" is too soundly thrash them at the polls......

If it's a trial by their peers they'll get off free.

Interfering with a federal election should bring hard time in the federal pen for these perps.

I predict that the charges will be reduced to malicious mischif with a small fine, community service, and probation.
