1981? The trouble with so many of these voter intimidation memes is the subjectivity of “intimidation”. Much like the cancel culture tactic of claiming the right to silence someone because someone else “feels unsafe”. What is reasonable electioneering and what isn’t?

People should only be there to vote and then be required to leave. There are people trained to be "watchers" at the election sites, as was previously mentioned.

If they’re at whatever the statutory distance from the polling place happens to be, I think the First Amendment applies. Even to people you don’t like.

In Wisconsin, someone with valid ID can sign up to be an “election observer”, and must be 3 to 8 feet from the registration table. There are a number of rules for them; they can’t take pictures or examine identification documents. I think electioneering can’t take place within forty feet of the entrance.

Here in IL, any electioneering must be something like 100ft from the entrance. I’ve called the election commission to make complaints before when I lived in Chicago.
