Warner on Fox News Sunday: "What's amazing to me is historically the GOP has been about 'let's not have federal overreach.' We've got federal overreach with ICE. We've got federal overreach w/POTUS saying 'let's nationalize elections.' Do you really want ICE agents showing up at polling stations?"

Everyone should call their local election officials and ask them what they're doing to prepare. Our governors should deploy the Guard to protect polling places from voting machine and ballot seizures.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) to ABC about Trump: "I think he intends to try to subvert the elections. He will do everything he can to suppress the vote. If he loses the vote -- I think the Republicans now expect they will get a drubbing in the midterms -- he will take action to overturn the result"

This has happened exactly a week after Democrats got an overperformance of 30 percentage points in a special election in Texas, flipping it.
RESULT: Democrat Chasity Martinez wins a special election for a legislative seat in Louisiana, 62% to 38%.
This was a district that Trump carried by 13% last year, so a big overperformance by Dems, but the seat was already Dem-held.
