(146,281 posts)65. Yes, but that situation will not be helped by more people
carrying guns. Personally, I expect to see very, very few such situations on election day. A few, of course, will happen, with some ragtag group of malcontents showing up armed. Not many, though. There are far fewer such groups than many people think. And each group is small in numbers. There are simply not enough disgruntled "militia" people out there to appear at every polling place. Where they do appear, I expect local law enforcement will show up and make their presence known.
However, I think there will be a small number of locations where real conflicts between "militias" and LEOs might occur. I'd avoid those polling places until the conflict is over.
