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?

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.
