"This is all part of a larger culture of intimidation that the Trump administration is trying to use with regards to all aspects of society, and in particular, voting."
A great recap of what may and will happen. Yes DOGE and Big Ball gather all your personal data gave it to Peter Thiel palantir. And of course Trump will have his ICE gestapo out doing a bit of intimidating by poll watching. They have all ready made if difficult for women to vote. Get all your ID together ladies and vote. Don't let them scare you from the ballot box. Stay calm and cool. They will try all sorts of things.
Trump and his administration have no right to cause such voter intimidation. What a bizarre country for its president to openly question and intimate false votes even after proof is given of his mistaken accusations.
Americans need to wake up and vote everywhere and anywhere to preserve Bill of Rights, especially the First Amendment. We are the last and best bastion against this regime.
You’re right Alabama Jen I had just about forgotten about that. In 2023 there was a big fight in the Alabama legislature over the districting in lower Alabama where many of the state’s black voters live and some of them essentially had no representation because of the way it was drawn. So they fought and went to the Supreme Court over it where they won. The court ruled that Alabama has a high enough percentage of African American voters and other minorities that there should be two districts where they can select their own representation. This is when the state kept on trying to defy the court and finally a cartographer was sent in to redraw the district. In 2024 the new district flipped from red to blue! Representative Shomari Figures now represents district 2 in Alabama. That race became the most expensive one in the state with Eric Holder and Obama campaigning for him though Figures had once worked for the Obama administration.

There may be the possibility that DOG will use AI tools for all kinds of searches with State voter data bases.
