    Most people will be able to vote. It’s a matter of what they do with those ballots.

    The people that won’t be able to vote are those they removed from the rolls last minute, or in swing district with high Democrat concentrations. They’ll send in ICE, start arresting people and causing chaos, then either provoke a real response or if that isn’t happening foment a false flag response, to shut down those polling places completely. Anyone slightly brown or tanned ICE is going to bully away from voting. It doesn’t have to be in a ton of places, just in a few dozen key districts.

      There was a headline yesterday or so that the FBI was sending 250 agents to “investigate” Fulton County GA (i.e., Atlanta) for nonexistent “voter fraud.” They are definitely gearing up to try to disenfranchise Atlantans.

      Adding onto the “preventing people from voting” thing… y’know in the USA anyone can be arrested for up to 72 hours under “Involuntary Psychiatric Holds”, without any standard of probable cause. You have no trial, no recourse and there is not even a bench trial (generally cops have to bring you in front of a judge within 24 hours of being arrested).

      I’m not saying that will happen, but it’s a possibility we should keep in mind. These laws exist at the state/local level from what I understand, so it’s something we could have reversed before that election. If anyone has ideas on how to do that, now would be a good time to get that momentum going before November.
