There is a lawsuit over this.

I'm thinking audio on a necklace, iPhone video in a shirt pocket, or maybe something more inconspicuous.

Because police would never seize your phone and delete video of themselves committing crimes...
MI_XD:
I too will be open carrying, as I have for YEARS when voting...
Of course will have recorder going, and copies of the pertinent MCL excerpts.
I plan to call the Township Supervisor to see if there will be any problems with me voting how I have for years.....
MI_XD:
Oh, and glad to see posts here.... not ALL of us have Facistpalm......
Pond Scum:
gryphon, good thoughts on the audio recording! I'll do that!

I don't know of any laws against audio recording but I do believe that pictures and videos in the polling location are banned. If the police confront me outside maybe I can get Sue to video it for me. Unfortunately Sue is dead set against me OC'ing to vote so I could be dead before the election and then I'll vote for Biden! :yikes: Or I might just be in trouble .... but I've been married 26 years so I'm used to being in trouble! ;D

As to the "intimidation claims" from the MI SOS...
--- Quote from: MSP Legal Update #86 ---Brandishing firearms MCL 750.234e provides that it is a 90-day misdemeanor for a person to knowingly brandish a firearm in public. Brandishing is not defined in Michigan law and there are no reported Michigan cases that define the term. Attorney General Opinion No. 7101 provides guidance and states, “A person when carrying a handgun in a holster in plain view is not waving or displaying the firearm in a threatening manner. Thus, such conduct does not constitute brandishing a firearm
