Amid fears of violence by Trump supporters, Iowa schools cancel classes on Election Day.

This has to be one of the dumbest threads ever started on this board, and that says a lot.

Op starts thread blaming trump supporters for Iowa schools closing amid fear of violence, supplies an article that has 0 reference to this claim and actually talks about how the cr auditor has had security at school polling locations for 10 years.

Then doubles down his support by linking another article of a single 18 year old….. in Florida…. For his proof of Iowa schools shutting down bc of trump.

And then it’s your typical r vs d insanity attacks and debauchery that is hbot.
 
Don't polling places usually have law enforcement hanging around?

I mean I fully get the concern of violence by Trump supporters but I don't think it will be at polling places. Especially when there are cops present.
I have never seen a uniformed LEO “on scene” at a polling place in Iowa when I have voted….ever. I suppose there have been some incidences though….but these are strange times we live in now…..even in Ioway.

Unbelievable, isn’t it? I mean, it’s borderline comical at this point. I’ve said it numerous times and I will continue to say it, this election is making people crazy. Buckle up boys and girls.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cop in my 50 years of voting.

From an impartial, third party looking in point of view:


1) There were no threats of violence made or on record

2) School acknowledges they want to be a polling location (or at least accept that fact, have not requested to have it be somewhere else)

3) School acknowledges polling location requires more security

4) School acknowledges security costs money.

5) School acknowledges by not having school that day and not having to pay for added security they will save money.


Sorry, this is not pro-trump or anti-harris, but the only thing I can see that mentions Trump and violence is your thread title......the rest of the story reads as just a way to save money and keep kids away from sex offenders.

I don't see the "amid fears of violence" anywhere.....
Exactly. It's a smart move. Most schools are now locked up during the day. Doesn't make much sense to have that security precaution and then allow hundreds and hundreds of people free access to the school. This is not a partisan issue the way OP is intending. Unless you want to get into gun control/school shootings. Then It can get partisan.

It's not even debatable at this point. I can understand why many minority men vote blue. When the Dems promise and/or advocate for preferences based on race (See LBJ's comments), it's bound to have an effect on some people. But as for white males, there's an undeniable feminine quality amongst that group.
When I think masculine I immediately think of you, and 80 year old fat men wearing makeup.

Donald Trump incited a violent coup in 2021. During this campaign cycle he has urged for armed supporters to congregate at polling places.

I could have gone for some police presence at my old polling place. I had the same site as this mustachioed ass who it turns out was the Winneshiek county Republican chair. First time I encountered him he was sitting in the lobby at a table with a pizza and a notebook, and he started a shouting match with the woman in line behind me. She was happy to participate. Next time was caucus night and he approached cars, including mine, in the parking lot as people arrived. He came right up to the drivers door, preventing me from opening it. He asked what I was there for, when I told him I was there for the Dem caucus, he told me I couldn’t park there and I should pull out around back and park on the county road. This required me to walk about 300’ through freshly drifted snow to get to the entrance. I’m sure my “constitutional sheriff” would have been useless in that situation anyway.
 
Politics aside. It’s pretty sad that schools have to shut down or extra security is needed because people are going there to vote.
Tells you right there that a lot of people must be voting that should have no right to do so.
I read one article where they mentioned needing to close the school because sex offenders would be there voting.
So sad on so many different levels. What amazing times we live in.

Where in the article does it say anything about fear of Trump supporters. Op's brain is broken

Donald Trump called for the execution of Liz Cheney yesterday. To date, Kamala Harris has not called for any of her opponents to be executed.
It's amazing the contortions that Doobi and the rest of the MAGAts will go through in order to deny the violent rhetoric of Donald Trump.

That's exactly what it says in the article that you posted. Oh wait.
