with the search warrant.

there will be a judge to says that very soon. There is no federal authority to physically take ballots from a state on or before Election Day to count or withhold them.
If this does not happen soon, we are in deep trouble and in a real constitutional crisis. Just my uneducated opinion.

Hell, i bet by our own rules, we couldn't supply any type of protection at the poles even if we wanted to protect this from happening?

(10,533 posts)4. Well, just read that they got a judge to sign off....
Magistrate judge, Catherine Salinas, approved the seizure. Based on unfounded allegation by an FBI agent.
While FBI Special Agent Hugh Evans asserted that the alleged departures from protocol were sufficient to establish probable cause that two federal laws were broken, he attributed those crimes to unknown persons.
Evans affidavits confirm that the criminal investigation originated with a referral from Kurt Olsen, an ally in President Donald Trumps quest to subvert the 2020 election, who was named by Trump in October as the White Houses director of election security and integrity.
So bottom line - they can do just about anything they want - our justice system is so partisan these days that it is basically meaningless. 🤬
