    Maybe, but I don’t think “tens of thousands” would be blocked from voting through ICE simply being at the polling locations. Maybe that would be possible through spreading fear that they might be there, that sure sounds a lot like what’s happening with this post.

      ICE concentrating on Atlanta would be enough to keep Georgia red.

      And they wouldn’t need 22,000 agents to do it.

        Pretty sure this was an age-old favorite conservative tactic in the Jim Crow South - station sheriffs, etc at polling locations.

        This is why the conservatives looooooove the idea.

      If ice starts randomly detaining people before they can vote for “suspicion of being an illegal immigrant with fake documents”, they could actually have an impact?
