Originally published at: Dem Senator Pushes Ice Director To Admit His Officers Have No Place at Polling Stations
Democrats have been warning for some time that there is a potential near future in which President Trump takes his army of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and floods polling places in areas that tend to not vote for Republicans during the midterm elections, an election-meddling rerun of what he has already done in blue…
Karoline Leavitt said last week that she “can’t guarantee” ICE agents wouldn’t be near voting places.
After judges found no evidence and rejected the claims of this this wanna be dictator 63 times previously, and still, this is the official word from the White House, you know the country is in deep dictator trouble.
I don’t think that it would be prudent to wait until August or September to initiate impeachment proceedings.

It is interesting that Bannon has been in the shadows again. But now seems to be present and alert once again. The Epstein mention may be one thing. But it feels like something else is causing the increased presence. It might be tied to the frenetic attitude of the administration and Miller’s pet cause.

I think it was 10 years ago that MO require voter to present a photo ID to cast vote. I just looked at the latest rules on acceptable ID one can present at the polls.
ACCEPTABLE FORMS OF VOTER ID
Show one of the forms of acceptable identification and sign the poll book to obtain your ballot:
- A nonexpired Missouri driver or non-driver license;
- A nonexpired military ID, including a veteran’s ID card;
- A nonexpired United States passport; or
- Another photo ID issued by the United States or the state of Missouri which is either not expired or expired after the date of the most recent general election.
*If the driver or non-driver license has expired after the most recent general election, it is an acceptable form of voter ID.
If you do not possess any of these forms of identification, but are a registered voter, you may cast a provisional ballot.
Your provisional ballot will count if: (1) you return to your polling place on Election Day with a photo ID; or (2) the signature on your provisional ballot envelope is determined by your local election authority to match the signature on your voter registration record.
It just occurred to me that in each case a registered voter must provide photo ID that has not expired. This costs the voter money to keep being allowed to vote. There does seem to be path that a person can get a free NDID=Non Driver ID, but one has to go through the MO Sect of State and a MO DL Office.
I still think this a poll tax.

In reality ICE and CBP will be largely unaffected since they already have tens of billions of dollars in funding that they received from the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
Do they still have money left? The way puppy killer has been spending it, I don’t think there is much left.

She can walk? Yeah, but maybe not chew gum at the same time. The thing she tripped over was not in the pedestrian walk way - in the middle of the street?

Republicans aren’t dominant everywhere. In New Mexico, the Grungy Old Pedo Party could not even field a candidate for US Senator. Well, one tried, but couldn’t collect enough signatures to get on the ballot.

In New Mexico, “voter identification” consists of stating your name.
They may ask for further clarification, like address. You only have to do the document thing when you first register, and many more forms of ID are permissible, along with some proof of residency, like a utility bill, paycheck, or government check.

Well there have been reporting that those huge sign on bonuses never materialized.
