    The problem is not the law, it’s enforcement. It’s only a problem now because no enforcement is ever made until. Until it’s a huge problem. Until it’s an incident. If you let the individual act like they are more important than the society they exist in, this is what you get. Fetishized individualism.

      classy. blame the senior citizen who was forced to confront the type of person who’s constantly looking for a reason to start fights.

      nope. the problem IS the law, which by the way, doesn’t exist in most states and hasn’t been a problem

        Ah yes, senior citizens are the ones charged with upholding laws.

        This was a result of no enforcement, this wasn’t the enforcement.

          In performing duties under Subsection (a), the presiding judge may appoint one or more persons to act as special peace officers for the polling place. A special peace officer may not enforce the prohibition against electioneering or loitering near the polling place unless the officer’s appointment is approved by the presiding officer of the local canvassing authority.

          it’s part of the code that police don’t interfere until the election workers ask them to, aka something already happens

          so yes, senior citizens literally are the ones charged with upholding this law. no one seems to be able to refute my point that the law itself is fucking stupid
