Escalate on the Trump Admin’s ‘ICE at the Polls’ Plans Now - SLRPNK

Lemmy

“ICE at the polls” is a mostly empty threat, because there are only about 22000 ICE agents, and the USA has about 4-5 times that many polling places for voting. They don’t have enough agents to put even one at every polling place. Yes they could target the “blue” areas and ignore the “red” areas, but still they just don’t have enough agents to stop Americans from voting.
That’s not even counting states that have mail in voting with dropboxes. Yes, they’re trying to restrict mail in voting but it all seems like it’s around postmark dates which do not apply to drop boxes (the drop boxes have the same deadline as voting in person). Good luck putting an agent at every dropbox in the PNW, it’s simply not going to happen.
yup. I did dropbox due to them delaying putting postmarks on the envelope to begin with and even happier with the other shenanigans they are trying.
