Pro-Trump Protesters Crying Foul Over Vote Counts Stir Safety Concerns
NewsMax ^ | 11/07/2020

Pro-Trump protesters — some of them openly carrying rifles and handguns — rallied outside vote-tabulation centers in a few cities around the country Friday, responding to accusations from President Donald Trump that the Democrats were trying to steal the White House.

Elections officials in several states where Democrat Joe Biden was ahead said the anger outside their doors made them fear for the safety of their employees.

Roughly 100 Trump supporters gathered for a third straight day in front of the elections center in Phoenix, where hundreds of workers were processing and counting ballots.

“Arrest the poll workers!" the crowd chanted, demanding four more years in office for Trump. Sheriff’s deputies kept protesters in a “free speech” zone away from the entrance to the building.

“When we start auditing some of these voter rolls, their fraud may actually be exposed,” conservative activist Charlie Kirk told the crowd, eliciting cheers.

In Detroit, dozens of Trump supporters returned to the streets outside the city's convention center, where election workers counted ballots.

“Stop the steal!” the protesters chanted. Some carried signs that read, “Make Elections Fair Again” and “We Love Trump.” Police cordoned off streets leading to the building and maintained a close watch on the protest.

The county treasurer in Detroit, Eric Sabree, said he had closed his office because of threats. In a statement, Sabree said the decision was made “in the interest of the safety of taxpayers and our staff” and because of “credible information” from the sheriff’s office.

In Philadelphia, two men with handguns were arrested Thursday night near the convention center where the vote-counting that could decide the White House race was going on.

It isn’t fairness but honesty that is needed.

“Honesty” ... that thing Democrats loath.

That’s the only photo I saw at the website. I’m not a firearms expert. And I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Is that a rifle or a handgun?

In democrat controlled cities, Trump supporters who take to the streets will be put down, like they didn’t do with the antifa/blm criminals.

Anarchists, killers, terrorists, rioters, looters, assaulters,
vile mouth bitches, insurrenctionists, intimidaters, business
killers, the treasonous...

No problem.

By golly, someone protests an election being stolen, why
there’s people to be afraid of.

Threats? You haven’t minded the threats to your average
citizens over the last six months.

Right now they are making lists to take Trump supporters
out. No problem there.

Biden supported all that. He still does.

Whine some more poll workers. Now you know how the rest
of us have felt for the last six months, and heading
into the future of our nation possibly.

My heart really bleeds for you. /s

Does anyone recall Antifa/BLM being kept within a "free speech" zone?

I told you folks, over & over again a civil war was brewing. Sadly...it is now about to surface...openly across the entire country. Americans will not idly stand by while an illegal election gives Joe Biden, the POTUS slot!!! God help the American Republic!!! The Democrats will certainly not lift a finger to save our great republic!!! Sad, again!!! Coming soon, tyrants, dictators, despots, America Haters!!! “SAD”!!!

The only reason they’re in fear is because they know they are doing something wrong/illicit

Check out the weekly MRCTV video posted yesterday A 'Great Amount' Of ‘Anti-Wokeness’: Media Mad Over Trump Turnout –Wacky MOLE. The whole video is great, but the part that shows a female reporter expressing concern for her safety because of Pro-Trump supporters outside a vote-counting center in Arizona is at the 3:47 mark.

If this stands,the idea of fair election will be the illusion like Iran,North Korea and Venezuela.
