>is it the intimidators or the fearful?

Just regular people scared by media propaganda. That would be my guess. Exactly like the other items in the list. 'Long lines' doesn't mean people forming long lines are searching for it.

Come on, Trump very deliberately made voter fraud, of which voter intimidation is a big component, a major campaign issue.
Along with a sign-up form on his web site for 'volunteers' to drive over into 'suspicious' neighborhoods in blue counties.

And the mere threat of intimidation will be enough to keep people home googling instead of voting.

At any rate, Oregon provides the perfect control for any theoretical 'googling out of idle curiosity' crowd.

What does 'intimidation' mean though? what are they going to do?
