Documents obtained and released on Wednesday by the advocacy group Democracy Forward show that the investigative arm of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has gathered tens of millions of voter records ahead of the midterm elections as part of a purported effort to combat “voter fraud.”
Democracy Forward, which obtained the ICE documents through the Freedom of Information Act, said records from the agency’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) branch underscore how the Trump administration is “using the power of the government to try to silence eligible voters and prevent them from accessing the ballot.”
It’s funny how Trump and his co-conspirators are so incompetent even at fascism that a lot of the low-level footsoldiers aren’t getting the memo that trying to do their “job” sincerely isn’t the point.
Yep, it’s how you know which ones are actually dangerous, like Tucker - people wondered why he suddenly got off the train and started criticizing Trump, when it was clear he didn’t stop being a bigoted white supremacist corporatist authoritarian wannabe - he got off the train because he realized it would ruin the goals of his ilk to catch the bumper their dogs bark at with someone like Trump and his people in charge. They needed competence to get his vision executed, and anything this stupid would ruin those chances for decades.
