Why does the sight of black men in traditional BP garb at polling places make some people turn around and go home without voting? Do they think they will be beaten or something? They aren’t there to physically manhandle voters. Bring on the intimidation, I say.
I don’t think voter intimidation is as much of a problem in Virginia as is single dem voters voting multiple times under different names, and the dem polling officials withholding the “backup” votes until needed, then trotting them out as “look at this box of ballots we just found.” I suspect this is what happened in many Richmond precincts.
