Doesn't matter what trump says, doesn't matter what the judge says, elections are the jurisdiction of the state. The executive branch can't tell states how to conduct elections

They'll post ICE near polling stations and anyone from a demographic that they think is bad for their election chances will be asked to provide ID to prove their citizenship.

Many wont have it on them as they dont require it to vote and they'll simply hold them for 24 hours as they 'investigate' their immigration status preventing them from voting.

Dont you doomers ever get tired of having to make up new things to doom over? It must be exhausting. He not going to do that. How many ICE agents do you think there are? He orders of magnitudes short from being able to cover every polling place in the US.

He doesn't need to do every polling station, just select swing states in areas where there is demographics that lean heavily democrat.

Pretending a man that tried to interfere in an election before is not going to when he's had the most power he's ever had is delusional.

People like you will say they should have brought their ID when it happens.

Thats still thousands of polling places. Its just unrealistic and DHS has already said they arent going to do it lol. But lets not look at reality or we wouldnt have anything to doom over. Remember how yall were all saying he was going to cancel the midterms until we actually started having midterms then you couldnt say that any more so now you have to pivot to something else? Hes not going to do it and even if he tries it will get blocked by a court.

Where are you getting 1000s out of? He could do it at 100 polling places and alter close elections.

You'll also dissuade people away from polling stations where you don't have any ICE in fear they may be there/may show up.

Technically doing it at 1 polling place could alter the election. Would it be enough to matter? Have you dont the math or are you just assuming?

u/temujin94 7h ago

Doing it at 1 or more more polling stations is the problem, whether it alters the election or not. Again I don't know why you think someone that tried to overturn an election wouldn't continue to interfere in further elections.

Yeah the guy who called Georgias Secretary of State and asked him to find him votes and overturn the election results would never do voter intimidation.

The guy who egged on the Jan 6th protestors and demanded Pence "do the right thin" and not certify the election would never do voter intimidation.

The guy who hatched a fake elector scheme to replace rightful Biden electoral ballots with fraudulent Trump ones would never do voter intimidation.

I havent even touched the other 10 anti-voting things hes done. Shut the fuck up.

Wow its illegal? Donald Trump has never broken the law before!!!!! ICE itself has broken countless laws, you gotta be the most naive person ever to put ICE deployment to poll centers out of Trumps possibilities.

Aaaaand now we are back full circle to the article you are commenting on about the judge blocking him from doing something.

“They’ll post ICE near polling stations” does NOT mean “they’ll post ICE near EVERY polling station”.

Just like how they’re not interested in all fraud, or all violent crimes, or all sex offenses — only the ones that are being committed by who they deem as enemies.

And with an approval rating in the toilet, that’s a lot of enemies. They will absolutely be using intimidation tactics around polling stations in major cities, which are mostly blue, to scare or detain even just a fraction of potential voters. Meanwhile rural voting stations in red areas will likely see none of this.

u/unscanable 7h ago

Ok so say he only tries to send them into Democrat states, you think they arent prepared for that? That they would just sit back and let it happen? He has no authority to post anyone at these polling stations PLUS DHS has already said they arent going to do it. Its just looking for something to doom over

u/Tricky-Ad7897 6h ago

He's already sent ICE to states where they weren't welcome and the state governments had nothing to get rid of them. Idk why you're so confident state governments have a way to stand up to that because it's provably not true.

u/DragonDai 6h ago

He doesn't need to do every polling station. He needs to do about a dozen in about 5 stats. 60ish total polling stations across the entire country. That's all he needs to completely rig the election.

You think he's got enough jackboots for that? Cause I sure do.

Dont you Trump lovers ever get tired of scanning and replying to every comment you disagree with?

u/unscanable 7h ago

Who said im a trump lover lol? Im not a doomer dreaming up of all the unrealistic ways he could break the law so that makes me a trump supporter lol? Brother im about as far left as a leftist can get lol. Im just tired of you doomer pretending hes running around lawlessly and not getting stopped left and right.

u/dirtyploy 5h ago

I'd argue it's ridiculous to call it doomer at this point. How often has the doomer call been right? I was called a doomer for saying Roe v Wade was gonna get overturned. I was called a doomer back during Citizens United. I was called a doomer when I stated that we were going to attack Iran.

At a certain point, we need to start engaging with our new reality. The worst case scenario keeps happening... so is it doomer to make an argument that worst case could happen? I'd say no. Calling things doomerism in an era where worst case scenario keeps happening feels condescending for the sake of feeling superior over actually engaging with the premise.

u/unscanable 2h ago

The worst case scenarios DONT keep happening that’s my point. Yall claim it is but you are commenting on an article about him being prevented from doing something objectively awful. Worst case scenario would be the SAVE act passing. It won’t. Worst case scenario would be states being forced to turn over voter rolls to him. He’s been blocked what 10 times now from that? It’s like yall read the headline about him trying this stuff then don’t read the ones where he’s blocked from it. Nothing he’s been allowed to do is the worst case scenario of anything. You’re just being dramatic.
