Summary
A 24-year-old man, Daniel Schmidt, was arrested after allegedly disrupting a voting line and assaulting an election judge in Orland Park, Illinois.
Schmidt reportedly attempted to skip the line, ignored repeated instructions to wait, and punched an election judge who tried to stop him, knocking off their glasses.
Other patrons restrained him until police arrived, at which point Schmidt resisted arrest. He faces multiple charges, including aggravated battery against a person over 60 and resisting arrest.
He doesn’t have to worry since he’s about to be a felon
Not until convicted. My point is, if he’s out today, he can vote today.
But he’ll have to wait in line, and we all know how that goes
He’d have to go to the same polling place though, right? Seems unlikely the people he assaulted would be keen to let him back in.
I don’t know. I’m not certain that they could legally stop him as long as he behaves himself.
