This is only reassuring if you can believe what they say.

I would trust a 2 year olds storytelling more than a republican

Not that I trust them, but Minnesota was a real logistical clusterfuck, and trying to rig the election is a much bigger undertaking.

I don't think they could deploy for midterms if they wanted to.

My worry is with the recent supreme court ruling saying the post office can just straight up refuse to deliver mail, they're going to try and fuck with the mail in ballots.

I'm worried about a lot of things, but I'm not as worried about ICE as I was until I thought about their logistical issues; there's still so much shit that could go down.

Excerpt:

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will not be deployed at polling places during the midterm elections later this year, state election security administrators were told during a call with federal officials Wednesday, according to multiple sources familiar with the call.

This headline is more premature than a teen boy on prom night.

It's Feb. As the last year already showed us, a lot can happen in 9 months. And nothing promised can be trusted.

There is no need to deploy ICE if there are no elections.
