In the key battleground state of Florida, tempers flared up in a state where 29 electoral votes up for grabs are a must-win for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. Breitbart reports that two poll watchers were fired at the Broward County voting station after a reported altercation.
Police were dispatched after reports of voter intimidation by two poll watchers. One was Republican and the other was a Democrat. When the situation escalated to a dispute between the two poll watchers, the Supervisor of Elections fired the two clerks on the spot. One of the clerks, David Booth, a republican told NBC 6 Miami that he was one of two clerks fired and told to leave the premises. According to Booth, there were allegations poll watchers were overstepping their boundaries inside the polling location and involved in voter intimidation. Two other clerks were brought in immediately to replace the two fired clerks.
In Jupiter, Florida, Breitbart reports that a woman claims that a Hillary Clinton supporter attacked her at a polling location. The woman, a Trump supporter, says she was attacked while handing out pamphlets in support of Donald Trump when a man who is a Hillary Clinton supporter walked by and exchanged words with her. The woman said that a conflict escalated when the man charged after her and put his hand on her shoulder. The woman told the man that she was going to pepper spray him and then he got into her face and started screaming and punching her.
