I think I agree with this. Creating vigilantes like this is going to cause more problems than it solves, especially considering most of these people are driven by political interests, have no professional training or education on the issue, and seem to be targeting voters (whether inadvertently or not) who already have challenges voting in the first place.

Is there a word for "rule by whoever is the most annoying"?
