He then appears to point his finger at one of the workers, who dramatically swats him away as she jumps back and says, “Don’t do that.”

The man continues to approach her as other workers step between the two, one of whom can be heard yelling at him, “You’re wrong.”

He continues to chase the woman who initially swatted his hand away, as workers plead, “Take him outside.”

Three women can be seen standing in his way and pushing him back as he continues to come for the woman.

At the end of the video, several workers can be seen trying to usher him out of the room.

After being told to remove his hat in the voting area, Lutzenberger did so and proceeded to cast a vote.

He then put the cap back on before leaving, followed by the clerk who again told him to take the hat off while he was in the building.

It comes after DailyMail.com’s final poll before election day, which showed Trump has now overtaken Harris.

The former president now has a three-point lead over the current vice president, with Trump drawing support from independents and undecided voters.

New data, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent, shows Trump trending upward, with support at 49 percent to Harris’ 46 percent.

With five days to go, the numbers mean Trump is currently on track to become the first Republican candidate since George W. Bush in 2004 to win the popular vote.

Most Americans are feeling a lot of emotions heading into Election Day, but excitement isn’t one of them.

A new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that about seven in 10 Americans feel worried or frustrated about the 2024 presidential campaign, and a similar share say they are interested.

Only about a third say they feel excited.

For partisans, fear is chosen slightly higher. About eight-in-ten Democrats say “anxious” describes how they feel now, up slightly from about three-quarters in the last election. About two-thirds of Republicans are concerned, a moderate increase from about 6 in 10 in 2020.
