President Trump called on Republicans “to take over the voting in at least 15 places” in advance of the next election
Yeah, that can’t happen. We’re going to have to stop them. Volunteer to be a poll worker, especially if you happen to live in any of these “15 places.” This article doesn’t say specifically which places these are, but I think it’s safe to assume they are important swing districts.
They won’t need to do anything but put ICE outside the polls in non white neighborhoods. They will do this anywhere they can to intimidate voters. Enough people will not go vote just because of their presence there.
I don’t disagree. I like that spirit. I’m just telling you the reality that unless ICE (or “election integrity enforcement” or whatever they end up calling it) is not present AT ALL than there will be significantly less voter turnout.
They will also use any organized resistance as a reason to “recount” the votes in that area.
I’m not saying this to be a Doomer. I’m saying this so people prepare. There is no scenario in which the upcoming election is free and fair. We need to be preparing state and local level resistance. A unified and state armed multi state coalition. If the blue state politicians don’t move on this. Well, we need to start considering that our state governments are not taking the threat seriously and accept what needs to be done to form a real resistance. ICE will not leave because we brought signs. Alex Pretti had the right idea. But we need the organization of an actual state government to do that.
Absolutely agree - many states also pay their poll workers for their time and efforts, I am in a swing state and have served multiple elections since 2020 and yes the shift is a long one but it is very rewarding.

Then we show up and put ourselves between the polls and ICE.
