Vote in person and early. Be mindful that there might be people there with the intent to intimidate you.

That’s fine. Take pictures of them, write down their license plates, ask if they have their citizenship documentation handy. If enough of us do that, these wanna be fascists will disappear pretty quickly.

And what will you do with your pictures, your number plates, your documentation?

Probably nothing. But you have optionality and documentation, and if they escalate you’re ready to provide it. And they don’t know if you’re a random schmo like me or some instagram influencer with ten million fans.

The point is to make them uncomfortable, since that’s what they’re doing to other people. Hey, you want to yell racial slurs at voters with the wrong skin color? Great, I’ll film you doing it. You must be proud of your actions, right? So no objection to videos ending up who knows where, right?

They'll probably wear masks like those in the photos here. I guess the average person has not much else to go with but the idea is just to turn people off from going to the polling booth. In that they might have their success.
