The filing also points to mounting evidence in Minnesota that the prospect of federal immigration agents around voting sites is already changing how voters and election workers behave.

I am curious. Could a group of concerned citizens show up at polling places armed and with signs saying they are there to defend anyone voting from any intimidation. Would that be technically legal?

even if, they already are trying different shennagins to ge tthe votes thrown out, like that sheriff in california kept over 600k ballots. i imagine they would try something similar.

closing the counting during the '24 was the most obvious sign they were cheating, but the DNC refuse to call it out, because they dint want to "label as being riggers"

"Actually they are all terrorists and liars cuz Trump said so."

Im surprised "legality" is still a question these days tbh. He doesnt care what's "legal".

ICE also fed voter DATA to PALANTIR, so they know which polling stations to hit. likely they will be targeting swing areas, like they rigged in 24.

Making bad news worse, you just had to bring fascist Thiel and his AI into it, didn't you?

History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.

US history, in this case.

(sure we could find precedent in Nazi Germany as well though)

Good. At least the courts won’t have the “we have to wait for the crime” excuse.

I’m sure they’ll think of something, but still.

All they need to do now is attack noncompliant voters, and it's Russian democracy.

They can't just cull half of the entire population for voting blue, right....?

[-] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 7 points 1 day ago

Ask 1930’s Germany.

Problem is, they don't need to cull the complete half.

And

They are taking bites out of whatever's left of a fair election process in the USA, all over the place. The threat of actual physical violence, as horrifying as that is, is unfortunately only one of many efforts.

Let's look at the other times this has happened historically

For voting blue? No. For being antifa terrorist sympathizers? Probably.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

They'll try.
