    Armed EVERYONE, panthers, housewives, mechanics, trans teens, latino families, truckers, the entire Village People stereotypical grouping, should be there armed and handing out cookies and coffee and making sure our communities are safe and that everyone, no matter their politics or identity or race or background has their say at the polls.

    There are presently about 22,000 ICE agents. There will be somewhere around 100,000 polling stations in the US. Their math for “surrounding all polling stations” just isn’t working out.

      They don’t need to surround every polling station. Just the ones in blue states

        Time to plan to have 50 or 100 people at every polling station in every blue & red state. There should be enough retirees, unemployed, house-parents, teens to make it happen. 1 Million average Americans of every political affiliation to defend their democracy for a day.
