2026 Election security

It is dead certain Trump and the Republicans will try to rig and sabotage the 2026 Mid-term election. They will use voter suppression tactics, sabotage the post office and mail-in ballots, voter intimidation such as having threatening ICE goons at the ballot place.

At this point the U.S. needs international over-sight to protect the election from illegal interference by Trump and company. Maybe the United Nations could have observers here.

Call your Reps and Senators and demand they aggressively protect the 2026 election.
No taxation without representation!

While I share your concern, I'd rather not give Trump the opportunity to piss on the UN any more than he already has.

I don't know what it is, but if there is a fix to this problem, it needs, IMO, to come from inside the US and not from outside.

I guess asking for UN assistance may not be such a bad idea to point out the problem, but I kind of hope there's another way.

@MistyCee And for further historical context. Yeltsin was not just a corrupt and clueless drunk. He also rolled tanks into the capitol and shelled the Duma when he didn't get his way.

Clinton at the time called it "democratic."

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Ok, so this would be a good thing to point out the problems with permanent Security Council members and vetos?

I doubt it. I really dislike the idea of wrecking stuff without a feasible plan to replace it.

@MistyCee Oh I figured out that was a bad idea at around age 12 when Yugoslavia was turned into a hell hole.

And I agree. I am sad to say I don't see any good options for Americans.

You mean like having voters show up and show proof of ID?
The democrats were against that remember?

@Adrift Have you ever voted? I have voted in every election since I was 18. When I go to my voting place they ALWAYS require proof of identity. I show them my voter handbook which has my name and address.

And yes I have voted since I was 18 and have also voted in every election.

@wildland A divers license is acceptable and is also required to drive a car.
If you dont have a driver's license than a state ID is accepted.
Pretty easy to get.

Yes, I think ICE will definitely be "monitoring" the polling stations.
