🧵Last night, Democrats sued to block Trump from sending armed agents to the polls for the midterms. The administration’s "Polling Place Policy" could cause vulnerable voters — particularly naturalized citizens — to avoid the ballot box out of fear. Here are key lines from the suit worth reading👇

🚨 "The Polling Place Policy did not emerge in a vacuum. It is part and parcel with various executive initiatives announced by President Trump that have sought to usurp authority for the Executive Branch to influence and ultimately control the nation’s elections."

🚨 "Further, once a voter is aware of the Polling Place Policy, the suppressive effect will ensue regardless of whether federal agents are actually deployed to that voter’s polling place. These concerns are not hypothetical."

🚨 "Moreover, the Polling Place Policy will disproportionately affect Democratic-leaning voters. Data indicates that naturalized citizens, who may be particularly wary of encounters with armed ICE agents...are more likely to vote for Democratic candidates."

The lawsuit asks a federal judge to block the administration from ordering armed officers anywhere “in the vicinity of open polling places" — starting when early voting begins and lasting through the post-election ballot-curing process. Read the full story:
