General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWill we be seeing masked, unidentified goons at the polls next year?
Demanding "proof of citizenship", or abducting people on bullshit "voter fraud" charges?
This is exactly why they are funding roughly doubling the number of secret police, imo
My guess is you will see a huge influx of thugs in blue voting areas, which is what they already have started doing.
I already mentioned this in a previous post, but as an aside.
I feel it merits being discussed as a separate issue
This party has no structure or plan to deal with such an event, as far as I know.
And I'm starting to think this might be, at least in part, what he meant when he told MAGAts "You won't have to vote again, we're going to take care of that".
How many ordinary people will risk being "disappeared" at the polls?
They only have to do this on a token basis to affect the elections outcome.

Remember when pedo Trump said he was NOT a Christian and said after the 2024 election Christians would never have to vote again.
Yeah, he meant it when he said it.

I must have hit a nerve to have drawn an attempt to demonize the thread by low post new member.

Only questions is, what uber patriotic name will they come up with for the patriots carrying out gods work at the polls.

(247 posts)unless he has a "guaranteed result" plan in place at the time.
If he "postpones" the election (for whatever national emergency he can concoct), who would possibly override him? The DOJ, the Republican controlled House, the Republican controlled Senate?
The lower courts might try, but he has shown that he can ignore their decisions with no consequence?

I remember this...
"PHOENIX (AP) A federal judge on Tuesday ordered armed members of a group monitoring ballot drop boxes in Arizona to stay at least 250 feet away from the locations following complaints that people wearing masks and carrying guns were intimidating voters.
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Liburdi said members of Clean Elections USA, its leader and anyone working with them are also barred from filming or following anyone within 75 feet (23 meters) of a ballot drop box or the entrance to a building that houses one. They also cannot speak to or yell at individuals within that perimeter unless spoken to first."

I expect to see this on steroids and under cover of "law".
