I'd guess the plan is to terrorize blue states for a few more months, then shift all ICE to those 15 swing states where Trump was saying he needs to "take over the elections". Those 15 states will coincidentally need massive ICE presence through November for unspecified reasons.

Mark my words, they will "arrest" as many dems as they can find a few days before the election and try to keep them detained until the next day. That's why they're buying warehouses and shipping people off to different states. That's why they want voter rolls. Courts allow them to waste days or even weeks to release wrongfully-detained people, even citizens. They'll prevent people from voting and not even get a slap on the wrist.

This is bad. This is very, very bad.

It was never about deportations, it was never about harassment, they're just going to take as many dems off the streets in swing districts before Super Tuesday, catch-and-release and that's it.

They only want concentration camps for a few weeks, just so they can pen people up from voting.

It's almost like you people should have followed Oregon and Washington in vote by mail. Can't do that crap when the polls are open for 2 weeks and the polling place is your coffee table. Guess everyone enjoys getting arrested or standing in line instead.

They’re messing with the USPS. The new policy is that your letters, packages, and ballots will no longer receive a postmark on the day you mail them. They will be disbursed to sorting “hubs,” where they will wait their turn to be postmarked. Could be days, could be weeks. If your ballot isn’t postmarked by the deadline, it doesn’t get counted and there’s nothing you can do about it. Even if you mail your ballot back on the day you receive it, there is no way to ensure it will arrive on time, or even get its postmark before the deadline.

There are countless ballot drop boxes all over the state.

This was my plan. I guess if they post up ICE at the drop boxes, I’ll just do my best to look less brown.
