WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PROTECT 2026 ELECTIONS? Curtail ICE from polling places
To: Sen. Collins, Rep. Golden, Sen. King
From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME
February 5
Please reply to let me know what you are doing to counter Trump's attempts to interfere with the upcoming midterm elections. He has spoken of nationalising elections (which is unconstitutional and illegal.). He has stolen ballots from Fulton Georgia. He is spreading lies about non-citizens voting to gin up mistrust. He and Steve Bannon have spoken about sending ICE out to polling places.
Jack Smith's testimony showed how far Trump went to foment and even pay for participation in efforts to delay the certification of the last but-one election.
Remember how Trump refused to say he would accept the results and enable a peaceful transition to Biden?
Take his threats seriously. Trump is a cornered animal. He is also now a dictator who has muzzles free speech and has a private army doing his bidding-- ICE-- surveilling dissenters and protesters who defend the constition.
The time to take these threats seriously is NOW.
Defund ICE.
CLAW back its bloated budget.
Insist on Dan Goldman's amendment.
HOLD THE LINE. DO NOT CAVE> NO FUNDS for ICE without measures to protect elections: Tell potus hands off the voter rolls. No ICE activity while polls are open.
PLEASE REPLY TO LET ME KNOW THAT YOU TAKE THIS ISSUES SERIOUSLY and that you will enact all possible measures using all the means available
