Fri Oct 11 19:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Trump Ally Roger Stone Calls for Armed Guards at Polling Places in 2024 Election
**JACKSONVILLE, FL** – Roger Stone, a longtime confidant of former President Donald Trump, has suggested bringing armed personnel to election locations in order to ensure a Republican victory in the 2024 election.
In undercover audio recordings obtained by Rolling Stone, Stone, known for his “dirty tricks” in politics, outlined his plan for influencing the election. He believes that Republicans should be prepared to “fight it out” on a state-by-state basis, claiming Democrats are prone to “stealing” elections.
Stone specifically suggested that if Republican observers are thrown out of polling places, they should obtain a court order and bring in armed guards to dispute the outcome. He cites the chaos that occurred in Detroit during the 2020 election, where Trump supporters attempted to enter a ballot-counting location, as an example of how Republicans should act.
Stone’s comments come as Trump and his allies continue to perpetuate the false narrative that the 2020 election was stolen, despite multiple investigations and audits proving President Joe Biden’s victory. He blames former Attorney General Bill Barr for not using his position to overturn the results, calling him a “traitor” and demanding his imprisonment.
The recordings reveal a concerted effort by Stone and other Trump allies to influence the 2024 election. This includes recruiting volunteers and lawyers to monitor elections and challenge results, and targeting state lawmakers and local election boards with election denial activism.
Stone’s suggestion of bringing armed personnel to polling places raises serious concerns about potential voter intimidation and election interference. The potential for violence and disruption at election locations is a grave threat to democracy.
The 2024 election is expected to be highly contested, with both parties mobilizing their resources and strategies. Stone’s comments highlight the growing threat of election denialism and the potential for violence and disruption as a result.
