@ManyRoads @benroyce @cascheranno @RegGuy For the most part that's where the current regime here is, but the fact that the election cycle was already scheduled puts der Trumpenfuhrer in the position of having to either openly cancel an election or allow it to theoretically take place.
It is NOT realistic however to ask people to risk arrest to vote unless large and defensible groups can go to polling places together. In some places this could even require armed backup security to prevent ICE vans from leaving with prisoners.
The relative effect of one vote is not enough to justify a double-digit risk of being kidnapped by ICE and sent to a concentration camp.
Tens of millions will be banned from voting if the SAVE (the GOP) act passes, rendering the election a sham and any GOP "victory" null and void internationally and in the streets.
Voter ID alone is a 5% structural advantage to the GOP in the states that have it (all GOP states). Requiring married women to have passports or similar to vote will hugely multiply this, note that the normal time to get a passport is already March->Nov and they cannot (and will refuse to) handle that many expedited applications. Even Real ID drivers licenses won't be enough. That way the GOP gets out of the unpopularity of their abortion ban laws.
If the SAVE act passes and ICE agents are deployed to the polls, I would expect a double-digit margin for the GOP in every state no matter what independent polls show.
