Trump pledges to send 'sheriffs' and 'law enforcement' to polling places on Election Day, but it's not clear he can - CNNPolitics


This idiot doesn't know what he's suggesting is illegal, but expect his authoritarian supporters to wholeheartedly endorse the idea because Trump supporters hate democracy just like their dear leader.

18 U.S. Code SS 592 - Troops at polls | U.S. Code | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute

 
Do you honestly think that Trump thinks about anything, let alone researches it, before opening his big, fat mouth?
 

The rubes will lap it up, they love more government, and dollops of fascism!

All the cool kids are voting by mail anyway....
 
Trump is a glorious leader who knows all and is the best at everything, with a good brain, the best words.

And with that in mind, he should send his very own security agents of the state into polling places, only people loyal to him as we know, everyone not loyal to him is a globalist/deep state operative that is intent on letting the Elite Pedophiles run free.

Only by allowing this, can we finally bring all these people to Justice, any day now and have a great economy.

Trump is so smart.
 
The same people who support this also went completely haywire when Fox News replayed a single loop over and over and over again of Black Panthers standing in front of a polling station (one of whom was subsequently removed by police).

Anyway, let me guess: these "observers" will be sent to Democratic-leaning districts in swing states. What do I win?
 
Sheriffs and law enforcement officials aren't "troops". :roll:
 

It really sucks when sarcastic parody is virtually indistinguishable from a party's actual platforms and the beliefs of their followers.
 

Another day, another attempt to disenfranchise voters.

But he does not control state resources in this regard.

You have a really bad history of not knowing what you're talking about or just flat-out lying. For instance, yesterday you lied to everyone on the forum and said that the Obama administration had separated 900 children from their families:

Democratic National Convention

This was a lie. I confronted you and you had nothing to say about it. No apology. Nothing.

Shameful.

In this instance, you are doing it AGAIN, and you are either lying or you lack sufficient knowledge to intelligently comment on this topic.

In any case, I will help you out a little bit and everyone else on the forum. This statute applies to federal law enforcement as well:

and ^ THAT is who is leading our country. what we've decided to accept.
 

I guess it's time for us to watch the watchers.
Hope they don't mind that we'll be better armed than they are, and better organized, and not visible.
 
So who in the military or federal civil service is stationing armed deputy US marshalls at polling locations?

C'mon, man!

The "law enforcement officials" sent to Portland where dressed as troops for a particular purpose.... to intimate the people on the other side of the street who didn't know who they were or what they were capable of.

Access Denied

That said, Trump is beyond is authority to order such, since elections are conducted by the State. We have volunteer poll workers that are there to observe. They report problems and do not intimidate voters (most of them are in their 70's). If a sheriff is needed, they can be called. There is no reason to pay a sheriff (likely overtime) to sit at a polling place. It is not the best use of LE resources.

Why do you think this is desirable or even ok? Do you just blindly agree with Trump or do you have an argument here? Do you understand the objection here? Please tell us.

Scare those voters away from the polls
 
It's not because "elections are conducted by the State" but because he doesn't have authority over state and local law enforcement. He could hire off-duty police as observers. No, you wouldn't want them dressed to intimidate.

Right, stuff that has nothing to do with the law you posted.

Watch the video.

You're lying again. Stop. Why are you always lying for this idiot?

That's now 3 lies in the past 24 hours, which you've never apologized for.

Anything else you want to lie about?

Again, who in the military or federal civil service is stationing armed deputy US marshalls at polling locations? That's what your law pertains to. You clearly don't have an answer because you posted a bunch of bs witbout thinking first.

WTF!

First you claim "they aren't troops". Um, the law cited is not limited to "troops".

Next you argue "Who is stationed at polls"....as if the election is today.

All the while, you troll ignoring what Orangey has publicly stated.

Cmon man, indeed.
 
You think that law is relevant? If so, how exactly?

It is REALLY simple, the law prohibits federal civil officers from being stationed at polling sites, which is whut Orangey stated he wants to do.
