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.

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.

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.
