(jackson, ga) down a georgia country road, camouflaged members of the three percent security force have mobilized for rifle practice, hand-to-hand combat training -- and an impromptu campaign rally for republican presidential candidate donald trump. 




"how many people are voting for trump? ooh-rah!" asks chris hill, a paralegal who goes by the code name "bloodagent." 




"ooh-rah!" shout a dozen militia members in response, as morning sunlight sifted through the trees last weekend. 




as the most divisive presidential election in recent memory nears its conclusion, some armed militia groups are preparing for the possibility of a stolen election on nov. 8 and civil unrest in the days following a victory by democrat hillary clinton. 




they say they won't fire the first shot, but they're not planning to leave their guns at home, either. 




trump's populist campaign has energized militia members like hill, who admire the republican mogul's promise to deport illegal immigrants, stop muslims from entering the country and build a wall along the mexico border. trump has repeatedly warned that the election may be "rigged," and has said he may not respect the results if he does not win. at least one paramilitary group, the oath keepers, has called on members to monitor voting sites for signs of fraud. 




the oath keepers, a prominent pro-constitution militia force that sent gun-toting members to the 2014 race riots in ferguson, missouri, called on members last week to monitor voting sites on election day for any signs of fraud. 




an hour south of atlanta, the three percent security force started the day around the campfire, taking turns shooting automatic pistols and rifles at a makeshift target range. they whooped with approval when blasts from one member's high-powered rifle knocked down a tree. 




millions of christians are praying and fasting for a peaceful transition following the election results on november 9th. trunews president rick wiles announced a 21 day fast leading up to november 8th, encouraging believers around the country to join in intercession during this dangerous period for our nation.
