Wow. Regardless of where you are politically, this feels like an important outcome.
The American political system depends upon the quiet service of thousands of ordinary citizens to pull off an election and we should have no tolerance for powerful people using their bully pulpit to intimidate them.
We can disagree on policy while requiring civility.
- verdverm 3y agoWith a penalty like that, it's sending a loud message! Side story, a good friend and his wife volunteered at a polling location. They were expected to work the full 12 hour day with breaks that were less than what the laws require for employees. One of them was sent to another location than they signed up for. They won't be doing it again. Anecdotal, so I don't know how widely this is an issue, they live in a rural area so not many people to draw on for this work.
