“They have every right and they now have every reason.”
Simple self defense has been one answer.
But, as a citizen, I can look at history and see that their past practices include dominating the voter rolls, putting in their own leaders, and and continuing to violate the law.
I can then speculate that it might be another option, rather than some ‘sudden light of patriotism’ that occurred to them all at once.
If you live in that county, you can at least do something, if you think they are trying to ‘takeover’ the political system, like go vote yourself.
You are doing the mental gymastics thing again. You assume that if they stack the roles in the community they are going to do it so they can break laws. I still don’t see where they have broken any laws yet. In my hometown, the Catholic Church has enough membership to vote the Catholic mayor in every election. Should I call that a sudden light of patriotism? You should sleep with the light on perhaps. The State and the CPS made the bed that perhaps a sheriff in town has to lie in for the upcoming election. I say too bad. Constitutionally you can’t stop them.
Since there have been no crimes documented yet, you have to take a pretty big leap to say what you say about their intentions.

Scheilcher county is very rural with something like 1900 registred voters. Even with that small of a number the FLDS would have to have many more adults registered than they originally had onsite when this event begin to unfold. I read somewhere they were requesting or thinking of requesting some 300 voter registration cards. I also think the county will vote together to keep them out if they attempt a take over.
Wasn’t it in AZ that they took over the gov’t via the ballot box and finally the state had to step in and take control?
