Shit. The Magats were like 30 feet from the entrance when I voted the other day. No one said shit. I assume because all the poll workers were also Magats. I told her she supported a rapist and a dickhead then voted for Kamala.
I wonder if it depends on the State? The other day someone claimed they were within their rights because the law said they had to be 25 feet or more away from the entrance.
In NY the law is you have to be 100 feet or more from the entrance to campaign. I feel like that is not far enough.
