My hope is the people on the ground, in charge of the voting process, who work for the state, not the feds, will do their job. From what I’ve seen virtually all of them are dedicated to fair elections, which is why almost no fraud has been found thus far.
You can help by urging people in your circle to vote and letting them know that their employer must give them time off to vote, by law.
If you’re tempted to help voters standing in long lines, say, by handing out water bottles, or letting them borrow a folding chair, you should check your state’s “line warming” laws. You could contact your local officials and offer to provide such items ahead of time in a way that doesn’t break the law.
My fear is that there are PLENTY of states that would be happy to let the federal government
Polls for governor of Texas look tighter than it has ever been. It’s in Abbott’s best interest to let the federal government enter his state and intimidate voters in specific districts. They’re poised to elect the first Democrat senator since 1988. Why not let ice into the polling centers in Austin? Why not let them handle the voting machines if they ask politely?
