Can we make citizens' arrests? I'd like to run citizens' interrogations.

BTTT for carrying a tape measure and a baseball bat to the polls...

You put yourself at great legal risk if you do that.

Better to just call the police if they won't follow the law.

Found this for Washington State on Atty Gen website http://www.atg.wa.gov/opinions/1972/opinion_1972_007.html
The third general provision of which all candidates and their supporters should be aware is RCW 29.51.020 which relates to political advertising activities at polling places on election days and provides that: "No person shall do any electioneering, or circulate cards or handbills of any kind, or solicit signatures to any kind of petition on primary or election day within any polling place, or any building in which an election is being held, or within one hundred feet thereof, nor obstruct the doors or entries thereto, or prevent free ingress to and egress from said building. Any election officer, sheriff, constable, or other peace officer shall have power to and shall clear the passageway and prevent such obstruction, and arrest any person creating such obstruction."
