minus-squareameancow@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down2·3 days agoThere are 22,000 ICE agents, and there were 94,000 polling stations in the 2022 midterms. (Down from 200,000 in 2018 but that’s another whole mess) so at this rate they will have exactly ONE agent in every 4th polling station or so. We can take 'em.

minus-squareameancow@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days ago The rest of it is rigged already. There are few more harmful things we can say to each other right now than the implication that everything is rigged and people’s votes don’t matter. The states are huge, they are hard to rig, or we wouldn’t have seen the successes we have already.
minus-squareBlackmist@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoThe electoral college is the rigging. The voting isn’t rigged. The outcome is. They don’t care about Minoritytown, Alabama. That state goes red no matter what. Similarly, they’re not going to intimidate all of Maryland. That is already going blue. It would be a waste of time to try. Your votes in these areas are counted, but they don’t change the outcome. The popular vote is meaningless.
