-I'm openly gay, living with HIV,
and have been a sort of leftist activist,
you know, my entire adult life.
Yet I got elected mayor of a town that went for Donald Trump.
-The best part about Trump is he's not a politician.
He's a businessman.
And that's what this country needs -- a businessman.
We don't need more politicians. We got plenty of them.
-Milford is in Northeast Pennsylvania,
right where New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania meet.
When I bought my home here in the '90s,
the county voter registration was almost 3-to-1 Republican.
And now it's like 1.
5-to-1 Republican or something like that.
We've always been a county
that has had lots of different kinds of extremes.
-The display is actually from my husband,
who is a 30-year Air Force veteran.
Right now, the way that things are going,
we all pray that Trump will win,
and I just feel that Trump has done a great job in three years.
He's done what he said he's going to do.
-I would like to see the current president
and vice president re-win the election.
That's my viewpoint.
And the person who lives downstairs is a Biden supporter.
And everybody's entitled to their own opinion,
but you don't have to
try to force-feed the other person your ideas.
-Pike County has long been a Republican-held community.
And over the last four years, we've really seen a huge shift
towards there being more Democrats
and more visible Democrats in our community.
-I've never been involved in politics.
I've been a very strong Democrat,
but I've voted for Republicans, too, in the past.
But I am just so physically ill.
This whole four years has been hell for me.
-I'm not expecting election-day violence or civil unrest,
but I think we live in a time where you have to be prepared.
The training we had in 2018 when I was elected
was very different from this year.
This year they've added a certain amount of --
actually a whole hour on what happens
if violence or threat of violence happens
because there are a great deal of individuals
in this county that are very aggressive.
I'm not gonna mince words.
There is a military truck with a machine gun
on top that goes by periodically.
And so, that kind of voter intimidation is real here.
-I honestly feel that if people start coming for our guns,
you will see an uprising.
The gun stores cannot keep enough guns and ammo in stock
because of all the people now needing a gun.
And what does that say to you? People do not feel safe.
-I'm not a worrier usually.
I'm not a timid person.
I stand up for myself, but to feel intimidated
in my rural, beautiful Pennsylvania,
it just makes me angry.
-I'm a pacifist.
I don't believe in war or fighting and stuff like that.
I wasn't thrilled when Obama got in, but I accepted it.
And I wasn't thrilled when he got in the second time,
but I accepted it.
I didn't go out and arm myself. -Pike County, Pennsylvania,
as well as Northeast Pennsylvania writ large
I think are huge battleground areas
for the presidential election.
-We're so excited by this huge Democratic
wave of mail-in ballots.
It's such a dramatic differential.
But we are going to see a tsunami of Republican Trump
votes coming out on election day.
It is anything but a lock.
