This happened in Roanoke, which is left leaning. Republicans are going all out to cheat in this election.
Edit: Here is the law on tampering with ballots in Virginia. Class 5 felony

I’ll be there on election day. Take that as you will.
That just works against your own interests. The point is people patrolling around glaring at people is voter intimidation. You think people will recognize “oh, that guy is on our side”?
Even if that was the case, do you think knowing there are TWO armed groups that hate each other prowling around a voting location is less intimidating?
We get it, you have a gun. You’re not helping.
To be fair, if they’re Black, or have rainbow hair, and are glaring at the old white dudes wearing red, it would make me feel safer.
Yes, so much better to have covering fire when going into a church to vote.
Oh shit everybody, @shalafi@lemmy.world is gonna be there! We can all collectively sigh in relief now!
