    ICE will be doing its best to provoke an “active public safety threat” wherever it can during the elections. They’ll turn up and start grabbing people out of voting lines, or just threatening people, and as soon as anyone protests it will be an active public safety threat. Then they’ll either shut the polling venue down or cause so much trouble outside that no one dare approach. Once the election is done and there just happened to be active public safety threats in Democratic-leaning areas only, the Democrats will decide they have to play by the rules and accept the result in order to protect democracy.
