So a lot of these things are going through Trump, Trump aligned gatekeepers in those red states.
That's genuine concern.
Ice at the polls seems like that's an inevitability, Don, that there's going to be armed ice agents at the polls.
I suspect they'll be strategically chosen.
And it is a disincentive for people to want to come out and vote.
Even if their immigration status is locked down, they may just feel chilled from voting.
So those tools can be mechanized for Trump.
But I go back to the more fundamental concern here.
If he's trying to meddle in elections before they take place, you better believe he's going to try to do so after they take place.
Seems like they've made diversity a loaded term.
The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice is trying to tackle things that we, for so many years, if not generations, took as prized values, ensuring we have diverse workforces, ensuring we have diverse communities,
voices in positions of power.
The Trump administration is trying to roll that back.
And I'll add this footnote, and I know you have unique equity in this.
The assistant attorney general for civil rights is a terminally online person, somebody who is tweeting at every hour of the day.
And that level of knuckleheadery does not go over well with some Americans or people who have knowledge of the civil rights division as a prized historic part of America.
