Luckily, for now, those people are at the state level, though republicans are trying to change that.
replyAnd what happens if the state level election workers are up against federal level gunpoint?

replyIt's not like ICE can just roll into a state capitol and stop elections.
How many folks would be required for that at each polling place? Ten? Fifty? There are 3500+ counties in the US, usually with multiple polling places. You'd need tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of troops for that.
And that's a lot of armed thugs. Likely the National Guard would need to be federalized, but I find it hard to believe that commanders would follow such illegal orders.
Hell just use ICE to arrest them all. Even if they’re out on a week, the election will have passed by then
