    They don’t want anyone in districts dominated by Democrats to vote. That’s why they’re so keen on voter ID laws and shut down DMVs and other public services in those areas. They usually assume anyone who looks like a minority is probably voting for Democrats and aren’t likely to take them at their word.

        They think they’re tough enough and scary enough to get people to turn away rather than risk getting shot or beat up. They’re consumed by fantasies of strong man authoritarianism.

        A real answer?

        Start enough problems that your polling place closes. So does the next closest one.

        How many hours do you plan to spend voting that night? What happens when there isn’t any place close to vote?

        They don’t expect to “win” this way. They just want to disrupt and dismantle the system.
