How much you want to bet this is what we see in 2026? There will be masked men with automatic weapons intimidating voters in the cities.

if you are not white, it may be dangerous to vote in person. Vote by mail.

And they wouldn’t be able to meet their daily quotas.

Besides, do you think the states would allow it? (They aren’t powerless)

With hundreds of ICE and military.

States run elections, not feds.

Look up how many precincts are in CA, NY, IL, and do the math.

but only in areas that have historically voted for Democrats. And who is going to challenge them? Certainly not most local or state public safety personnel.

Don’t buy into the myth that Trump is omnipotent and the states and the people are powerless.

but you still need public safety personnel to enforce any rulings/laws. I've worked with these state/local officers and as many are hardcore MAGATS or, at least, MAGAT sympathizers, I'm not overly confident that they'll honor their oaths and uphold the rule of law.

I’m not that worried about ICE interfering at election sites- theyve got their daily terrorism quotas from Stephen Miller to maintain.
