    1. @Terri Coleman – “Still losed”? Are all of you cultists this “poorly educated”. You do know that cult leader said he loves the poorly educated, right? A little piece of advice. Go to night school and learn about syntax and punctuation.
      “We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated,” he said during his victory speech.”

    2. @Terri Coleman “still lose” ? trump never sat for his exams, his supporters didn’t sit for their exams, you all are bunch of disgruntled illiterates pulling America down.

    1. Trump’s dimwits will just show up at the poll sites and think they can stand around asking questions and challenging voters’ rights to vote. Interesting that you have to go thru training and sign an affidavit saying you will keep your mouth shut. Good luck with that.

    2. Don’t forget the hustle. Most of this is a all song and dance. All of this foolishness is based on “The great Greek Tragedy”. Make sure you get the facts about how this works.

  1. Well said! We like hearing that people are preparing to unite in a lawful manner to defend our US Constitution and democracy from the violent Republican domestic terrorists.

    1. WE ARE NOT TERRORIST WE ARE STANDING UP FOR OUR CONSTITUTOIN WERE HAVE WE BEEN VIOLENT ,,, LIKE YOU GUYS ,,,,,,,,,,WERE /????????

    2. Well said indeed but don’t throw the word Republican around. That indites the good and decent Republican citizens that must see the truth of trump.

  2. Bravo to the AG for bringing up how he has and will prosecute not only those who intimidate but those who have and will attempt to vote twice. This is what the country needs to hear from all states. Don the Chump’s gaslighting needs to be silenced.

    2. @jperiodchapin as a top comment, my guess is that it was copied from another (real) commenter and then the bots went a little crazy upvoting and repeating it. Look at the user names of all these accounts. Get out and vote everybody, not just Nevada!

    3. @Jay Grewe Then why applaud without understanding what is going on? I am a Nevada resident and the best thing we do is to keep the rest of the country from knowing what a crap-hole democrat state we are. We don’t want to lose your gambling money to survive. Clark county, were Vegas is, is one of two blue counties. The rest of the state is solid red. The city of Las Vegas is trash and the area around the Strip is trash. The democrats, that have tricked the idiots in Clark County to vote from them, are destroying our community just like Seattle and Portland. The threat from the AG to stop poll watchers from keeping calling out the cheating demotards is perfect propaganda.

    4. @codent I am very much a real resident of Nevada. Mine is a current and accurate post of the climate in this State.

  3. Trump is a dark cloud on American democracy and civility. There is no silver lining, only poison in this cloud.

    1. the dark cloud on America is idiots like you that are so easily duped by the Communist Democrat supporting liberal media that covers for the democrats and their anti-american policies

    2. @dan isch , American is spelled with a capital ‘A’.
      And, why can’t you Russian trolls figure out how to upload a channel image? Are you that stupid?

  4. Judges will throw him out if he goes to court!!! You CAN’T claim chaos…when your the one creating CHAOS!!!! He started with the post office’s!!!

  5. Good for him! I bet there will be more than a few arrests around the country if more honest state officials take this stance.

    1. honest state officials like this democrat,ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha,please ha ha ha ha ha ha,show me an honest democrat official and I’ll show you a mirage !!! All democrats in power are corrupt beyond belief

    2. @Biker 06 Yeah, they’re everywhere, trolling the lib sites. Russian bots? Inbred Trumpers? I just ignore them. They’ll crash and burn, just like their fuhrer. Pathetic.

  6. If these “poll watchers” talk to any voters the arrest them even if they’re armed with their AR15 weapons.

    1. Visit your state government’s webpage and learn the law for citizen’s arrests. Don’t do it if you aren’t clued up and ready to die to protect the vote, but know the law – especially in case one of the undeputized illegal militia members tries to detain you.

      Deprivation of rights under color of law carries the death penalty if bodily injury occurs

    1. When I poll watched for both of Obama’s campaigns, we had phone numbers of attorneys who specialized in election law that we could call if needed. We were in every precinct

      Poll watching is very important. Poll watchers are witnesses. And we can nip it in the bud if anyone tries to cause trouble

    1. @dan isch and your poll watchers are going to catch them?? how will they do that ffs,,,ask them for ID …they’re not even allowed to talk to voters

    2. @dan isch I live in SW Colorado and we have had all mail in voting since 2013 WITH NO PROBLEM. You are the one who is Unamerican. You think it’s OK to harass people at the polls,COMRADE dan.

  7. It’s the religious who put the White Supremacist in place; they’re having a hard time keeping their figurative masks in place.

    1. @My friend Jimmy you are correct, the real problem is people. The people who created that monster, evil god.

    2. @Lucky Baldwin it is the ultimate form of arrogance to presume to know God. Especially when you act like your interpretation of a divine being is somehow more legitimate than anyone elses. 2500 years ago they worshipped a pantheon of gods every bit as zealously as you worship your one God. And Jesus Christ hadn’t even been born yet. To be christian is to be willfully ignorant.

    3. @Gloria Smith That strong feeling inside you comes from God and is His way of showing you the correct path. Listen to it. I’ve fought that feeling in my younger days and went my own way and things kept going bad. I’m sure now that was God’s way of telling me I was on the wrong path. When I finally started listening to it, things started going much better. When you’re on the right path, things will just fall into place like magic. God works in mysterious ways and speaks to you, not with a roar, but with a whisper. I’ve learned that God’s children are all filled with love and I’m sure you’re one of His. I wish you the best of luck.

  8. Put them in cages near polling stations and put a basket of rotten tomatoes near by. 3 days in a cage awaiting court.

    1. SO YOU WANT TO BE COMTROLED ,,HOW LAZY ARE YOU ,,WOW YOU WONT BEABLE TO EVEN COMMENT HOW YOU FILL IF BIDDEN GETS ELECTED YOU WONT BEABKLE TO DO WHAT YOU WANT AT ALL

    2. SURE VOTE FOR COMMUNISM YOU TRAITOR !! tell everyone any of the great things Biden did for our nation after 47 years in Congress and how about Kamala’s record in California of giving longer prison terms for African Americans than any other minorities for the same crime !! Biden’s own words,”I’ll raise taxes by 4 trillion dollars and end Trump’s tax cuts that increased the money in workers pockets in ALL CLASSES !! He also said he’ll remove the southern border wall and have an open border policy that will have Drug Cartels and gangs from every Central American country freely entering our country to commit every crime against American people AND THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT,WOW WOW UNBELIEVABLE

    3. @Terri Coleman 👈👈👈russian Troll intimidates netcitizen comments.i think nobody believes anymore any fake infos /comments fr a prepaid russke👉👉👉Teri coleman.

    4. @dan isch 👈👈👈what a proud russke Whose job s to spread fake comments w/o facts.sorry america s awake and on nov.3 you will feel “the blood of the american gladiatot”💙💙💙

  9. They need to prosecute Trump for what he is doing. I am so tired of Trump getting away with crime after crime!

    1. Exactly! You said it enough is enough of this fool, and any fool that follows him. As he told the proud boys to stand by, well I say to everyone who wants their Country back and bring back respect to the United States of America, And The White House, Stand Up Vote, Vote.

  10. Arrest all of them, it’s illegal. They didn’t do anything in Virginia 2 weeks ago. Vote Biden/Harris 2020

  11. Trump wants his “poll watchers” aka “arm twisting” to make sure they vote for trump!? BYEDON 2020!!

    1. @Ismail Sumrra REALLY IS THAT WHY THERE PROOF YOU GUYS CHEATED AND TWISTED AND KILLED PEOPLE FOR NOT GOING YOUR WAY ,,,,,NOT TRUMP OR TRUMP PEOPLE ,,BUT DEMORATES OR THE LEFT HAVE

    2. @Terri Coleman 👈👈👈a russian Troll practicing hard to write english just to earn a few cents fr Master Vlad😂😂😂

  12. We need all our governors and AG’s to unite against voter intimidation. Sadly, I know that it will be ignored by many republican governors and AG’s.
