on tuesday, an election volunteer was injured at a polling location at collin college in plano, tx when he was sliced by box-cutter blades intentionally planted in a trump/pence sign. 




collin college spokeswoman lisa vasquez said in a statement: 




<u+201c>the man stopped as he left the campus to help re-position the sign to the correct location because it was blocking the official polling site sign. when he did so, box-cutter blades attached to the trump-pence sign cut his hands.<u+201d> 




steve spainhouer, collin county democratic campaign chair, told reporters at ktvt that the incident was <u+201c>deplorable.<u+201d> 




<u+201c>it just shows how far we have come in politics where people want to be so mean and so hateful to try and injure somebody who<u+2019>s probably not got any political party persuasion one way or the other. 




i think most people have already made their minds up at this point how they<u+2019>re going to vote and so there<u+2019>s nothing to gain by being mean spirited or hateful.<u+201d> 




thankfully, the injured poll worker was not seriously hurt, but this could have been much worse. clearly, the people who did this have listened to trump<u+2019>s violent rhetoric <u+2014> they knew putting a razor blade in a misplaced sign was dangerous. and in placing the sign in the wrong place, they deliberately injured someone. 




texas rangers are investigating the incident. let<u+2019>s hope they find the people/person who did this.
