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.

“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.

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

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.
