The Trump regimes’ contempt for the right to vote and will of the people is well established.

J6 was just the beginning of Trump’s efforts to destroy our democratic institutions.

I would have more faith in those claiming the Trump administration won't do something if they hadn't already been wrong so many times before.

"Trump won't deport American citizens."

"Trump won't order the military on U.S. streets."

"Trump can't just kill Americans."

"Trump can't start a war with Iran, only Congress can declare war."

But despite acting with lawless impunity daily, they have a mediocre record of success at best.

No troops on the streets of Portland or Chicago

Kilmer Garcia free and back on US soil

Thousands of federal employees back on the job after being fired by the DOGE bros.

States refusing to follow unconstitutional EO’s and refusing to provide voter rolls.

And numerous other instances of this administration being stalled, stymied or restrained.

Don’t get me wrong, I just want a taste of your unbridled optimism. I’m not as sure as you on this.

This evil clown car of incompetent goat rodeo rejects tries really hard, and acts with lawless impunity daily, but they have a mediocre record of success at best.

to Stop the Ghoul?

... corrupt Supreme Court in American history will let him get away with it, even though there's no legal precedent to justify taking elections from the states. I can sorta see standardizing election procedures, given the corruption we've seen, especially in Republican-controlled states, but Trump and his evil minions have plumbed new depths of corruption and depravity. I wouldn't trust any of them to take out the garbage, never mind letting them near anything as important as elections. Republicans can't be trusted to do ANYTHING.

What would happen to this scenario Ok, On election day after hours ICE (unidentifiable) enters several toss up states and numerous precincts and obtain all their ballots. Then 100% refuse to turn them in, or DESTROYS them all. What happens then?

There are hundreds of thousands of polling places in the US. There are nowhere near enough ICE agents to send to every polling place.

“ICE will just go to strategically chosen polling places in blue districts”

With 2024 Trump +20 districts swinging 15-30 points towards Dems in elections over the past year, there is no such thing as a predictable, strategic district for ICE’s limited resources to target.

Also, any attempt by ICE agents to access polling places or tabulation centers after the polls close would likely be met with deadly force, at least in some states.

There is no “after hours” in most areas, as poll workers collect and tally ballots continuously until a certified total is reached. In precincts with electronic tally machines, results are sent to the headquarters.

Just because you can imagine something, and type it on the internet, does not make that thing plausible, possible or probable.

ICE stole ballots after the election precincts closed down, from say 5 or 10 polling places in a couple of toss up states and destroyed them.What would be the outcome? Remember, we have no way of knowing how to identify the ICE persons. TY, Just saying we are in never never land with this administration, and i expect anything.

Half of them have been on the job under 15 months and aren't yet any good at the job they were actually hired to do.
Where is the evidence of the competence & skills necessary to carry out a broad based infiltration of the voting systems?
It's a reasonable concern, I suppose, but there is scant evidence they are good enough to carry out a plan, let alone one as complicated as this would be.

I'm worried they were doing practice run? Maybe i'm overly concerned but i just would like to know the answer to my what if question. IF ballots were destroyed, i'm thinking the election is MUTE.. (what a mess it will be) I'm thinking this is something that will be in court after court, if you know what i mean. (THAT is their possible plan)

...a legit concern considering who we're talking about.
But, "planning" by incompetent leaders & executing said plan are light-years apart.
Also, I don't think it was ICE that got those ballots. I think it was DOJ.

DOJ seized the 2020 ballots in one county in Georgia, and has requested/demanded voter rolls from several states, and have been ignored by most of them,

Still though i'm very uncomfortable with ICE and this election.

What if armed, unidentified men attempted to enter a ballot tabulation Center in, say, Phoenix?

First of all, do you think such a place would be unguarded by its own armed security team?

Would the security team simply stand aside and allow the armed men, who had no legal right to enter, waltz in and seize ballots?

I’ve already told you that on Election night, there is no “after hours” where the building is closed, unoccupied and ballots are left unguarded. The workers are there until the counting (at least of ballots in hand- mail in ballots is another story) is done or the ballots are delivered to the tabulation centers, where workers remain on duty.

Above all, never forget this one absolute truth:

Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless

Not sure who is protecting the counters, because i just don't know how they are protected. THAT is probably my problem here. I could certainly see TX and other RUMP loving states pulling some way out of their ass, allowing FBI ceasing of ballots because of some stupid bull shit. This election, if they feel they will lose, i expect anything. I know they are very worried about losing, because they would NOT be pulling the crap that they are. I trust NO state loving TSF. We'll see i guess.
