- Widespread Errors: An expanded federal tool for identifying noncitizens on voter rolls is making persistent mistakes, particularly in assessing citizenship for people born outside the U.S.
- Banned From Voting: In Missouri, state officials told local clerks to temporarily ban flagged voters from casting ballots, even though hundreds turned out to be citizens.
- Texas Confusion: As errors emerged in SAVE data, local clerks said the state hadn’t provided them with clear guidance and worried about disenfranchising eligible citizens.
I think many people are aware of this, but what do you DO. There are laws and expectations of civilized society. On both sides. You become the first person to raise some form of resistance I highly doubt the majority will welcome you with open arms. No, likely you will be seen by everyone as a cult leader, an anarchist, or at best, someone who snapped and refused to follow the rules of society.
The real people who need to take action are elected officials. Mayors and governors need to stand up and say “my people will not be used for this, and you cannot force us.” The fact that yhese events that you are very aware of were able to happen were entirely due to the lack of responsible leadership, not that some people didnt grab their handgun and form a resistance group of 20 people to fight a fully armed surveillance police state.
I agree with you, its awful, I dont want to sit back and let things happen but what, realistically in modern society, do you do.
Understanding that we don’t have that elected leadership, do we just let people die en-masse? If our mayors and governors stood up and said they refuse to comply with federal orders, then what? The national guard was federalized in LA, and we saw troops shoot reporters and peaceful citizens in LA and Minneapolis.
Obviously there are no easy answers here. That ship sailed when Donald Trump won re-election. If your answer is “we sit back and wait for something to save us” then that’s your answer. Seeing the ongoing mass-murder by ICE, border patrol, and the rest of the bipartisan-founded Republican-led terrorists; that answer doesn’t sit right with me.
Again, I totally agree and think you’re right. I don’t want to sit back, but no one has a realistic answer. They have nice answers that they hope someone does, but we dont have a unified voice saying this is what we are doing.
