Donald Trump has been telling us that if he doesn't like the outcome of the elections he will seize ballots. He wants Republicans to take control of voting. He wants to take over elections in Democratic states.
People should be concerned and we all need to be ready.

I'm glad to see this. I hope it's not just because ICE is harassing local LE and they're personally mad though. Either, Jonathan Ross might stay free until we have new DOJ and can get the evidence, but there's no reason to wait on this murderer.
ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene.
