"We want to suppress voters under some false boogeyman of 'illegal voters'. You are refusing to give us data which we need to do this, so instead, we'll keep ICE in your cities who have been shown to have no issues with escalating violence, until you do."

I struggle to believe you cannot connect those dots.

In addition, why would ICE enforcement in a city go away because voter rolls are turned over? Is illegal immigration in Minnesota a problem worthy of active enforcement or not?

In other words, oppression of citizenry to advance the efforts of a government to suppress voting that it dislikes.

Is this about requiring ID to vote? Like in literally every country. In a country where reliance on cars is like 99.9%?

You can't be serious.

The current administration's "we need your voter rolls" has fuck-all to do with "requiring ID to vote".

> Like in literally every country

As a citizen of Great Britain, Australia and now the US, I'm well aware of this.

And it doesn't change the "you can vote without ID in blue states!" from being the absolute bullshit that it is, and again, has nothing to do with why DHS is demanding voter rolls from blue states.
