Illegal Militias and Voter Intimidation

 

Georgetown Law professor Mary McCord and her group have developed fact sheets by state on illegal militias, explaining the laws barring unauthorized private militia groups and what to do if groups of armed individuals are near a polling place or voter registration drive.  Although this issue isn't so pertinent to OR's voting (we vote by mail), most of us have family/friends who might experience voter intimidation in other states.

There is also a fact sheet that educates voters as to what voter intimidation at the polls looks like and indicates what to do should they see or experience voter intimidation.
