Bannon has no formal power, but is an influential figure on the far right and is closely tied with the Trump administration.

Donald Trump this week again suggested that the federal government “should take over the voting” and federalize elections, which are run by local and state jurisdictions, as part of his ongoing false claims that Democrats have stolen elections. He also reiterated lies that undocumented people are brought to the US to vote and their participation led to

Repeating false claims that undocumented people vote in large numbers in US elections, Bannon said on his War Room show on Tuesday: “You’re damn right we’re gonna have ICE surround the polls come November.”

Thanks friend, have you ever heard of the Federal and State laws against voter intimidation? I know, I was surprised that you and banannan hadn't heard of them already. But hey, check this out: https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/guide-laws-against-intimidation-voters-and-election-workers Turns out what they are suggesting is literally against the law, as well as being impossible to do. Have a great day!

I guess we have nothing to worry about

Atepolus cracked the code guys, the regime and ICE are breaking the law, which is illegal. Has anyone tried telling them that they can't break the law yet? How have we not thought of this before now?

Feds would not need to be posted at every single polling location in the US and no one with a functional brain is saying that is the plan. Certain key polling locations are much more important for major elections than many others combined. And if you seriously think the fascist regime won't have armed mercenaries at these locations to intimidate, harm, and possibly kill their opposition because it's illegal, you are so lost on what is happening in the US that I'm honestly not sure what would even compel you to try to debate these topics and embarass yourself like this in the first place

I don't think this administration cares about laws, if they can dissuade just a handful of votes, gerrymander others, ruin mail in voting for others - it may be enough.

US residents need to stop relying on the rule of law because it no longer exists. Do with that what you will.

And what make you thinks that - because it's illegal - they won't do it?

This gouvernement is doing a lot of illegal stuff, even war crime, without any consequences... so why would they stop during election day?
