States and cities are wrestling with a delicate task as they gear up for the possibility of violence on Election Day: how to keep voters safe without deploying a police presence that could intimidate some voters

So far, authorities have taken different approaches. Michigan has moved to ban firearms at the polls after armed protests took place at the state capitol. Police in New York City plan to boost their presence in and around polling sites.

Why do liberals always express their disagreements with violence nowadays?

For most people in America intimateing them just makes them more determined to vote.

Ha. Police are on the side of the people trying to stop voters. They won't do a damn thing to help the voters.

This is BS. When I voted everyone was polite. All we wanted was to vote and leave peacefully.

Why does a police presence intimidate voters?

Interesting. They don't have an issue with harassing & murdering black ppl tho.

This article is filled w/ quotes of fear. Yet, very little evidence. Primaries just took place, & what happened? Anything? This is more fear mongering. There's only one group of people over the last 6 months that has rioted/damaged buildings. Just GO VOTE.

The 'voters' who'd be intimidated, probably aren't people you want voting in the first place.

Never needed police to vote before what changed

Simple answer, more polling places! Increase vote by mail! Increase early voting. The easier that we make it to vote the less likely that voter suppression or intimidation can occur. VOTE! IT’S OUR RIGHT AND OUR DUTY!!

Police will protect you while voting lol, The one who'll protect you your family is you and Smith and Wesson

They’re doing a fine job so far.....millions are voting...no reports of widespread voter intimidation....yet!

Let’s not intimidate the illegals.

Is this the US? Great leadership

Before that, America did not know violence in elections until after Trump's rule.

Donald *You WON’T acknowledge the “BLACK LIVES MATTER” movement & falsely Call them a Hate Group! YOU: *Gas/Shoot/Beat Peaceful protestors *Instigates VIOLENCE *Post a WHITE POWER chant *Fund PRO-SLAVERY Statues *Call Women of Color NASTY Do YOU acknowledge “BLACK VOTES MATTER”?

It's not November 3 they have to worry about, November 4 is the bloodbath.

Let's be clear, you mean violence from white supremacist militias, okay. Let's not mince words.

If you try and stop anyone from exercising their right to vote, don’t you dare ever call yourself an American!

DON’S BODY COUNT AS OF TODAY 230,510 of children, Moms & Dads as he continues his plan of “IT IS WHAT IT IS” DON’S PLAN of Herd Immunity will take 80% of the citizens to become infected resulting in US 3,310,026 DEATHS! Instead of fighting his CDC & FDA, HE SHOULD JUST BE HONEST!

When Trump was elected Portland rioted... at his inauguration Democrats set a limousine on fire.
