So a fencing practice near to the one I run was asked to cancel their practice this Monday evening. The reason? Well the voting machines are in place where they practice (its a church). This wouldn't be a problem as they could fence in other parts of the area.
But the problem is there is some self-made, self-appointed "election watcher" who has been giving people at the church a lot of grief even before the machines arrived. The pastor was grilled by this person in the parking lot about who had access to the building and when. The guy has been on the block seeming to take note of anyone entering the church (and has apparently accosted a few parishoners). The police have been called and they have talked to the guy, warning him about harassment of people but he is still in the area and the police can't do much. So in the interest of not giving this guy a bunch of fuel they asked that the practice be cancelled since a bunch of people going into the same building as the voting machines is proof that the Dems are rigging the election.
