Where this happened. Apparently, it is a swing district that went red to blue last election for the Congressional race.

The lunatics who think they're changing the outcome of the vote in a non swing State will end up wit a lengthy prison sentence. Stay tuned, they'll find these terrorists. At 73, I never thought this would be the America i grew up in.

They're part of this because they know this shit is going on and they're either a. deliberately lying/covering up for it or b. turning a blind eye to it. Which is worse? You tell me.
