This bill would prohibit a person from intimidating, threatening, or coercing, or attempting to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for engaging in specified election-related activities. The bill would authorize an aggrieved person, an officer holding an election or conducting a canvass, or the Attorney General to file a civil action to enforce this prohibition. The bill would create a presumption that a person who openly carries a firearm,

So your walking down the street and someone is attacking you so you pull your concealed firearm from it's holster and BANG! BANG!, oh wait it was ballot harvesters and you had no idea. Woops, now your guilty of intimidation under AB-2642 because ballot harvesters are "Urging or aiding persons to vote" and you can't open carry around them cause reasons ....

So even if the open carry ban goes away, there will still be an open carry ban with an associated presumption of an intent to intimidate even when just observing an "election related activity ". Lovely.

Another garbage bill. There are already reasonable laws against harassment, disturbing the peace, assault, brandishing against ANYONE, whether they are involved in election related activities or not.
Just add this to the pile of 7,876,321 criminal laws on the books that we are supposed to know at risk of arrest and detainment.

Remember there no reasonable people in Krapamento.

Honestly is that all they do. Law after law. Don't legislature's every take time to do work in the districts, meet with their constituents or God forbid realize a law is not applicable anymore and remove it. 7.8 million laws on the books and they feel the need to add hundreds more every year.
