Demoralize each major city by the time elections roll around.
Yep. These goons are going to be out suppressing the vote in every background district and denigration stronghold.
Man, I'm super glad that so many people voted based on their limited understanding of gender and immigration policies.
Which elections?
There's an election every day in the US and 3-4 tiers of elected governments. I think even if they use every means at their disposal its going to be very hard to even shutdown elections in a single US state. This is why the main strategy seems to be kkk style: harass brown people, women, etc so much they're afraid to visit poll sites. Use the depressed turnout to declare victory.
Edit: I'm pretty sure the end goal is to set up military check points outside of poll centers and forcibly ID card people.
Minnesota should anticipate this as a possible strategy and make ID cards free and easy to acquire in advance. They could also make them useless to the feds by allowing whatever name you want on the ID and omit your actual registered legal name placing it only behind a database requiring warrant access.
Why do you think the conservatives went absolutely fucking apeshit over mail-in ballots during Covid? They love it when voting it is difficult, particularly in areas with key demographics.
When things are more spread out - both physically via mail-in voting or being able to just drop off ballots at drop boxes, or spread out in time via things like early voting, it makes it much harder for them to do all their usual rat-fucking tactics.
You'll notice they seem to object to all of these things, by the way.
that does explain why they immediately stop counting during the election to give trump the lead in the voting polls.
