We face primary & general elections in 2022 w/the prospect of people showing up armed. Most will claim they want to protect the right to vote. A “remedy” is “the legal means of enforcing a right or redressing a wrong.” R.H. Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed., 2001. 1/4

Guns at the polls will not correct any errors in the voting machines. (“Freeze gigabyte!”) Guns do not play a direct part in counting votes. (“Where’s the port for this AR-15?”) The only purpose of guns at the polls is to scare off people who otherwise would vote. 2/4

Right wing (I’m not aware of anyone from the left doing this) ppl, in public discourse, should give a good reason why they need guns at the polls, or be honest & admit they only want to intimidate voters from “the other side.” Racism has played too great a part in USA history. 3/4

Racists should are honest, discard euphemisms and cut to the chase: “I want to scare off [insert disgusting epithet] from voting.” Of course this takes a modicum of courage. KKK set the tone in earlier days. They wore hoods to hide their faces. These ppl are no different. 4/4
