Trump Supporters Intimidated Voters and Interrupted Early Voting In Virginia

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Supporters of President Trump gathered outside the Fairfax County Government Center with flags and banners, chanting near residents who were waiting in line for early voting.

A group of Trump supporters waving campaign flags disrupted the second day of early voting in Fairfax, Va., on Saturday, chanting “four more years” as voters entered a polling location and, at one point, forming a line that voters had to walk around outside the site.

County election officials eventually were forced to open up a larger portion of the Fairfax County Government Center allow voters to wait inside away from the Trump enthusiasts.

Election officials said that the group stayed about 100 feet from the entrance to the building and, contrary to posts on social media, were not directly blocking access to the building. But they acknowledged that some voters and polling staff members felt intimidated by what some saw as protesters. (NYT).
