        Most likely it is going to be a whole lot of “arrest anyone with slightly foreign appearence, ignore their paperwork, let them out in 3 days after enough lawyers get involved and the person has overwhelming evidence they are legal citizens”.

          Yup. Same way the cops break up a protest - you arrest people on nonsense charges, take them in and book them, and by the time you’re released the event is over.

          And by the time it comes to trial, they dismiss and you take it since the alternative is to fight a battle that will take over your life, and not change that.

          Ask me about laws in NYC from the 19th century regarding wearing a mask . . . . .

        Guess we’ll just have to record record record everything at the polls!!! Hopefully people get to sue after it’s all said and done.

            If people are discriminated against and you record it and they crowdfund a good lawyer, maybe, just maybe

              Suing doesn’t matter; the voting will have been over and the disenfranchisement incurable.

          So the government prints money to pay them off - or just has judges rule they can’t sue.

          Having faith in a legal system run by an insane government is not a good idea.

      They don’t have to arrest people. Just being there will discourage loads of people from showing up.
