Let's be clear about voting in November. My only questions now are

[bluestarone]

Can states stop ICE from the voting precincts? Who will stop ICE from collecting ballots from precincts when voting ends for the day, and counting begins? I'm not saying that they will, BUT who would do the stopping if they do it?

1. Governors can activate National Guard and if they get a court order that requires ICE to cease

& desist all operations at voting locales, they would (presumably) be able to enforce it, with state and local police backup. Of course this would be the start of a nationwide shit storm so Governors & State AGs need to send the strongest message possible that that is their intent if ICE illegally impedes or present at voting locales.

2. TY, and i agree 100%, BUT could that be too late, because votes (ballots) disappeared already?

If they already took them it's too late. Is their anything that could STOP them from taking those votes (ballots)? I'm not saying this to stop anyone from voting, because we NEED every vote like never before!! I just want to know how we are gonna stop even one ballot from being taken? THAT in it self will be what i'm expecting to happen. Any way have polling places protected from this happening.

3. iirc, dem govs r meeting on strategy. dont know about other places, but here in chgo/cook co

votes r transmitted electronically after the polls close. i think that’s fairly standard these days.

4. Uncharted waters...If Trump intends to ignore the courts, nothing short of violence might stop him

5. THIS is where we are at, i'm afraid. I was hoping states could be ready ON THE SPOT, to STOP any removal of ballots

I guess that's impossible, even though i feel there is more than a 80% (my thought) chance it WILL happen. I guess we'll see!
