In other totally-not-a-slide-into-fascism news, peaceful protestors who had a permit to march were teargassed on the way to vote.
They have elections in all those shithole dictatorial countries too. They just make sure the wrong people don't vote.
The participants in Saturday’s “I Am Change” march had intended to conclude at an early-voting site to emphasize turnout in the final days of the presidential campaign. Those plans were thrown into disarray when law-enforcement officers in riot gear and gas masks insisted demonstrators move off the street and clear county property, despite a permit authorizing their presence.

As I understand it, it was a "Souls to the Polls" event. It's a bunch of black people. Voting. While I gather that can be rather terrifying to Republicans, it is what most of us ordinary folk consider peaceful.
Many states have early voting. In my home state of New Mexico, for example, you may go to your county clerk’s office beginning the 28th day before the election and vote and many counties in the state have expanded early voting beginning on the third Saturday before the election. [state.nm.us] Have you seriously not noticed the wall-to-wall news coverage of early voting the last few weeks? Really?!?
