More less irrelevant. How many polling places is there, how many ICE agents do they have?

According to the NCSL, ~96k polling places vs. 22k+ ICE agents (number steadily increasing).

How could anyone even hope to affect the results by only interfering in >20% of voting locations? Obviously irrelevant.

Yes irrelevant, because they never operate in units of 1, they are always in big groups.

Ah, and that is an immutable fact of the universe. I forgot, good point.

Luckily it doesn't matter that even interfering at 1% of polling places is very likely enough to sway the US election, right?

1. Considering how much of a swing is expected it is a statistical error

2. You have to register to vote, so you have already proven that you are a citizen, thus the whole theater with ICE is double irrelevant.

You gotta be joking. Did you miss all the cases where ICE just took people who were carrying proof of citizenship? Did you miss the allegations by conservatives that massive amounts of illegal immigrants are voting all over the country, but especially in blue states?
