The ‘alt-right’ has been a sad and constant presence in this year’s presidential election. Don’t expect that to change when voters go to the polls next Tuesday — according to a Wednesday report in Politico, white supremacists are planning to come out in droves to observe the balloting and make sure that the election is…
