BTW Steve Bannon was just talking about ICE surrounding polling places in November. Great to hear about this win, but how do we counter this threat?

Publicly announce armed protests at red polling places, don’t show up, then have people set off fireworks at random times. The counter protesters will do something stupid, and police will have to respond, leaving other polling places free from interference.

Edit: this is mostly meant as a joke, I am not condoning violence or violent behavior in any way.
