With Donald Trump calling on citizens to guard against a "rigged" election, some Michigan election officials are worried people may bring guns — and perhaps intimidate voters — to polling places on Tuesday.
Michigan law is silent on the issue of guns at polling places, and there is a question of whether schools and churches designated as "weapon-free zones" have to loosen their rules during voting hours.
"State election law does not address firearms laws in polling locations, so normal rules for carrying laws apply," said Fred Woodhams, spokesman for the Michigan Secretary of State, which oversee elections. |

| I recall Eric Holder's Black Panthers having a history of voter intimation, members of the NRA not so much a problem. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
