snip-"Machete-wielding teen arrested after group is accused of intimidating Democratic supporters at Florida polling station, police say
Caleb James Williams was arrested and accused of brandishing his weapon at two women, ages 71 and 54, police said.


snip-"Police arrested an 18-year-old wielding a machete with an 18-inch blade outside a polling station in Florida on Tuesday, saying he was part of a group of teenagers accused of intimidating Democratic supporters."

snip-"Williams was arrested on charges of aggravated assault, accused of brandishing his weapon at two unidentified women, ages 71 and 54, and improper exhibition of a weapon, Neptune Beach police said."

More there.


The grin as Williams held up the machete is in marked contrast to his expression in the mugshot

In Ohio, the only people allowed in the polling place are poll workers, who trained prior to the current election, and took an oath that day, voters, people assisting a person who needs help, like guiding to the booth, young children accompanied by an adult (parent?), law enforcement, news media, and certified poll watchers. Clothing and campaign activities are barred within 100 feet from the entrance to the polling place.

We'll mark that perimeter with flags.

I hope you're allowed to be near your polling place, and can get photos of iffy people approaching, or call 911 if they look dangerous.

In this county, all available deputies will be patrolling all day Tuesday. We got some conflict management tips at the training session, which I hope we won't need. The B.o.E. official said they weren't afraid of local citizens, but were worried about outside influences.

Stay safe! GOTV!

However... I am wondering where he got the machete. 'Accessory', maybe?
