I’m hearing about a whole bunch of feds being deployed to polling sites as “observers.”. I haven’t heard of them doing anything other than “observing,” yet.
I recommend voting, even if you get observed in the process.
Edit: the threats and intimidation against the CA election workers are currently prohibited by court order. A court in DC has ordered that the “observers” may do no more than just that.
2nd edit: if you see irregularities at the polls, call the ACLU Election Protection Hotline.

Technically, there is an alternative option to request “super” en banc with all 29 judges. But the 9th circuit has never once granted super en banc in the entire history of super en banc.
This case got really unlucky with the 11 judge panel lottery: 5 Trump appointees out of 11 plus one judge from the original 3-judge panel.
