Courts are now training for police to seize ballots during the election
Election officials are practicing for a scenario that used to sound like a paranoid fever dream.
It used to be that the idea of cops storming a polling station to confiscate actual ballots in the middle of an election was strictly for dystopian thrillers. Now, it is a practical exercise for judges and voting staff.
We are officially at the stage where the people running the show have to treat the potential seizure of voting materials as a standard workday risk. Forget debating policies or candidate platforms—the new focus is on how to legally handle law enforcement showing up to take the boxes.
The system is currently planning for a total breakdown of the democratic process just to keep things running.
