    I’m hoping you’re not stuck seeing the ugly part of the voting process. I am curious of how often you had voting locations be hard to setup due to politicians not liking the demographics of the area? Do lots of volunteers see this or is it regulated to a small amount of places?

    Obviously, ignore this if you don’t want to answer.

      We have had few overt attempts to intimidate voters in Colorado. Candidates don’t get to just pick their voting locations. That’s a very complex decision that involves multiple overlapping government and volunteer organizations.

      No, the enemy here isn’t MAGAts flexing at a polling place, it’s apathy among the general populace. A major part of our efforts is just educating people about how it all works, not necessarily getting them to vote a certain way. Finding someone who is willing to engage more fully in the process is how we measure success.
