With Pitchforks and ak47's if necessary, since that is the protesters choice of running around with their big guns.

on video during the forced in-person primary voting...

Thousands of people standing in line for hours. Only five precincts open for the entire city of Milwaukee...

And the best video of the day... here stood the Repugnant legislative "leader," mask on, fully gowned and gloved, proudly shouting at people that voting was safe for them.

Hopefully the citizens of Georgia will do what the citizens of Wisconsin did and vote overwhelmingly Democratic in the next elections.

of Georgia citizens, IN FULL HAZMAT SUITS (or the best you can come up with on short notice, garbage bags and duct tape could work), to line up at the appropriate spot, with signs DEMANDING a tour, 'cause "the governor said it was OKAY". Make sure media are present.

Both sides can play the "optics" game.

Safe enough for the peons to go bowling, but not safe enough for the Governor's mansion to reopen. Naturally.

Maybe they can send a NEWS crew to cover this developing story?

When CNN breaks news, it stays broken!

That gets you a live, and slightly irritated staffer who is obviously fielding a lot of calls...
