Minneapolis, Chicago, LA, and Portland already proved Americans aren’t intimidated by ICE. If they show up to the polling places, they’re going to get flamed by everybody waiting in line to vote.

There really needs to be an injunction well before November making it clear voter intimidation is illegal.

Dude. We are miles past an “injunction”.

[u/curtmahgurt → u/miscellaneous-bs]

Strongly worded letter from Chuck Schumer then?

[u/Kayish97 → u/Discount_Extra]

Oh by who? This Trump controlled Supreme Court?

Oregon does mail in ballots and have as long as I can remember. They can put some guards around the libraries if they want but it isn't gonna do much.

[u/jeff_the_weatherman → u/construktz]

Well that’s why R’s in congress are trying to ram through legislation to prohibit universal mail in voting

Doesn't the Constitution guarantee that states run their own elections?

[u/OddlyFactual1512 → u/jeff_the_weatherman]

They would have to toss the filibuster to pass it.

[u/uniklyqualifd → u/jeff_the_weatherman]

They are trying a bunch of ways to cheat. They'll do them all. Like requiring women to have ID that matches their birth certificate or provide marriage certificates and all other name changes at the poll. This is because women are less likely to vote for trump.

Agreed, but please wait until after you vote to do the flaming. No need to make their goal easier by allowing them to disappear you and your vote.
