So far, it has been a safe election
What are you talking about, armed Trump Nazis were preventing voters in Oregon from putting their ballots in a drop box.
Authorities said Monday that they are aware of a report of voter intimidation over the weekend in Springfield.

“There were reports that individuals wearing militia-type gear including camo and potentially armed with weapons were there, standing near the ballot dropbox," Gordon said.
Callers to the
Election Protection hotline described at least a dozen trucks and other vehicles with political signs near the ballot dropbox, she said.
“At least one voter described how, when they attempted to drive up to the ballot dropbox, they had to drive through, essentially, the row of trucks, so that there were trucks on either side with Trump signs,” she said.
“One of the individuals from the trucks asked the driver to roll down his window and asked where the driver was going,” she continued. “The voter became so concerned that rather than proceeding to the dropbox decided to forgo voting that day and left.”
Gordon said that wasn’t the only report of someone turning around and choosing not to vote that day. Other reports said trucks were tailgating voters, she said.
“This is deeply concerning to us,” she said. “Voter intimidation is illegal.”
Jessica Campbell from the Rural Organizing Project said similar activity has been reported in other counties in Oregon, too.
