🚨BREAKING: Voting rights groups are citing recent ICE activity near voting sites and new evidence of intimidation as they expand a lawsuit seeking to keep armed federal agents away from polling places during the midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE is already showing up near voting sites, bolstering lawsuit against armed agents at polls
Among the newest examples is an ICE detention that took place in the same area California voters had to pass through to reach a ballot drop box.

Newsom: "He's not screwing around. He wasn't screwing around when he called Greg Abbott for 5 seats, said he was entitled to 5 seats. Why does he do that? Because he knows he's going to lose the election unless he rigs the election before one vote is cast. That is what we're up against."

Following reports that Trump fired the leadership on the Election Assistance Commission, lawmakers, election officials and voting rights advocates are sounding the alarm that the move is an attempt to meddle with voting in the months before midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

‘Dangerous … reckless … desperate’: Trump’s firing of EAC leaders escalates his war on voting, election chiefs and lawmakers warn
Without four commissioners leading the agency, it leaves states with a huge resource gap as they prepare for the midterm elections.

This is very true! And as the research on the issue shows and as the Hungarian example confirms, and the Polish one before that, the key to large turnout is long-term, grass-roots organizational labor that helps people understand how their single vote is a dignified part of a larger transformation.
