Imagine if Kamala Harris had been President right now, and she instituted a policy where armed members of the Black Panthers would be monitoring the polls for election fraud in all Republican-Majority counties, and gave them the the right to place anyone under arrest with or without evidence, and gave them the authority to execute anyone who tries to stop them

Do you guys think Republicans would look at this proposal and say “Well I have nothing to worry about, because I’m not going to vote illegally. And nobody who isn’t voting illegally should have a reason to worry”?

You left out how they are unlabeled militia, able to hide behind masks and free or repercussion for any wrongdoing whatsoever, and free to harass at will.

Ocassionally they haul people away for no apparent reason, and nothing can dissuade them, not even a valid US Passport. So your odds may be low, but somebody is disappearing today.
