    I was a poll watcher in Texas. Electioneering was never a big deal before because you didn’t have people whose entire personality was being Donald Trump cult members. Electioneering violations were almost always small candidates trying to get name recognition at the last second. They’d have someone post up with a car with signs on it.

    But the rules were good for reducing tension because the line to keep out was clear and it kept politicking out of the voting area.

    Obviously the entire concept of reducing tension is foreign to the Trump nutters.
