    I think these are pretty valid concerns. I never imagined we’d need fucking sharpshooters on top of county buildings so they could count ballots safely. It does seem like some of the more contested areas are taking some precautions, I really hope we’re wrong and everything goes smoothly.

      Exactly. If you are in DC, you have the DC police, the Capitol police, the Parks police, the Secret Service, the National Guard, and if thats not enough, the god-damned Marine Barracks.

      In many US counties, you are basically relying on a (potentially extremly right wing) Sheriff or local police to protect your constitutional rights, and potentially your life.
