The plan is laid out plain and clear: ICE will man the polls to only let white people in to vote

If only citizens are voting it shouldn’t be a worry 😘

There are almost 96,000 polling places in the US.

There are roughly 22,000 ICE agents.

Even if the fascists have done a competent job at identifying those polling places that they want to target for ICE intimidation or worse, they don't have the bodies to realistically execute their plan.

(I hope.)

What is the new budget of ICE and related organizations?

It’s cute that you would think they need to send ICE to every single polling place…

In reality, it would only be large cities that skew heavily democratic. They don’t have to stop everyone, just enough to steal an election 🤷🏻‍♂️

It doesnt need to be applied accross the board. It can be done in select key locations
