Trump may deploy federal agents to polling locations to suppress turnout: Election lawyers
August 6, 2020
President Donald Trump caused national outrage when his administration deployed federal agents to cities around the country to engage with civil rights protesters.
But that could just be the beginning — according to Newsweek, "election experts" are fearful that the president may also try to send federal agents to polling places, intimidating people out of casting ballots.
“The concern from election attorneys, many of whom work with Democrats, (lets just go ahead and say all) is two-fold,” wrote Adrian Carrasquillo. “In 2018, a consent decree expired first put in place in 1982 that restricted Republicans from engaging in so-called ‘ballot security’ activities like campaigns to guard against voter fraud without court approval. (Sort of like the Black Panthers?) That decision by New Jersey district judge John Michael Vazquez, appointed by President Barack Obama, allowed Republicans to mount a sprawling $20 million program in 15 states that will include 50,000 volunteers, according to a New York Times report.”
Additionally, Carrasquillo wrote, “Election lawyers who spoke to Newsweek said they saw Trump’s tweet last week about possibly delaying the election as irrefutable evidence that he knows he’s losing to Joe Biden right now. They worry it means he might be willing to do anything to get an edge on Election Day.”

11. Well at least we know they intend to do it.
Maybe Govs need to put Nat Guard there to watch the 'Feds'?
These seem to me to be trial balloons to freak people out. (Yes, they are. But it's from the Dems.) Democrats are the educated ones remember.
We are on notice. maybe a million or so people in the streets all over the USA before that can happen can TUNE THEM UP a little? This will be our last chance.
personally, I don't want to live in dons world should he 'win' again.
We shouldn't cower from voting. Over my dead body.
I hope people feel the same way, but, if they don't, it's ok. I'm voting Nov. 3rd.
:whatever:

Hold your breath. Pack your nose w kleenex. This is our last chance. This will be point of no return. jmho.
Maybe they won't too. We just don't know.

why would the presence of Federal troops at a polling place intimidate a law abiding citizen who wants to vote?
Are the DUmmies worried that their presence may intimidate and deter those who wish to commit voter fraud at the polling place?

Like I did not have enough reasons to vote for Trump!
-
More made up BS from rawsewage.com.
"election experts fear that the president MAY . . ."
ROFLMAO
-
Democrats have already hire thousands of lawyers in battleground states to contest the election. They know they are losing.
-
So annoymorous people claiming to be "election lawyers" claim "Trump could" or "Trump might", and :rotf: gullible DUmmies lap it up! :rotf:
I wonder what % of DU-threads are about "coulds" and "mights" that never happened.

No, democrats were outraged, but democrats do not represent the entire nation.
Also, I'm finding something curiously absent from the article. Something called "evidence".

Uhm, no. He did it to protect federal facilities from rioters, vandals and arsonists.
Civil rights protesters my ass.

A picture of one of Trump's federal agents has been leaked:

WI will...and unless the poll workers asking to see your face are not Covid-19 carriers and not spitting in your face the exposure should be minimal.
