Donald Trump has been calling on his followers to monitor polling stations.
Warning darkly of a stolen election, Donald J. Trump has called on supporters to turn out in droves on Election Day to monitor polling places, telling them they need to be vigilant against widespread voter fraud and a rigged outcome.
The call has turned into Trump supporters #CodeRed where red-wearing Trumpistas plan to surround polling places to intimidate voters and also enter them as “observers.” Trump is especially encouraging his red shirts to go into minority districts …
“Voter fraud is all too common, and then they criticize us for saying that,” he said at a rally Tuesday in Colorado Springs. “But take a look at Philadelphia, what’s been going on, take a look at Chicago, take a look at St. Louis.
