    They may do that but if they do, nothing they find will be admissible in court. If you let them in, that doesn’t apply.

      True, but that’s assuming the proper use of the justice system is the intent. No. The goal here is obviously to promote fear for political gain (literally the definition of terrorism). They want to ensure these poll workers, and others like them, know the Trump administration will come after them. Only the ones who support the regime are safe.

        Listen, I get it, our criminal justice system is anything but just. But these are things you can do that will probably protect you. So maybe stop arguing against it.

          I don’t see where I argued against it. It’s still the smart thing to do, but it’s not going to prevent their goal. They couldn’t care less about getting an actual conviction. Yeah, make sure their case fails to protect yourself, but their goal is only to make sure you suffer, and that doesn’t require a conviction.
