The Democrats and voter intimidation

Washington Post:
Long lines, voter intimidation among top concerns

As the historically bitter presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump nears its end, election monitors are especially worried about the specter of voter intimidation after calls by the Republican nominee for his supporters to stake out polling places and watch for fraud.
The Democrats do not have much credibility on the issue of voter intimidation.  In the past, they have been the masters of if from Jim Crow to Black Panthers standing outside voting stations with clubs.  Then there is their effort to use the IRS to attack Tea Party groups and suppress the Tea Party vote in 2012.

But the Democrats are always pretending that Jim Crow is just around the corner whenever someone speaks about voter integrity measures.  They use this schtick to frighten their own voters.  There are many more cases of voter fraud than there are voter intimidation, but you would never know that from the way the media treats both subjects.

Project Veritas did expose a Democrat effort with ties to Hillary Clinton to intimidate Trump voters, but that is not what stories like this one are talking about.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
