The reason they want the voter data

from the states is obvious. They want to declare huge numbers to be ineligible and tell the states they have to strike them from the voting rolls. Even if someone is eligible they will keep the process for clearing your name so tied up that it will be past the Mid-Terms before they might "approve" you. They will follow this pattern in 2028 also. This is a pic of a Florida polling place in 2020. Now imagine two ICE-American Gestapo goons with guns and masks standing there and deciding who gets in and who gets deemed questionable and a "suspicious threat" and isn't allowed in to vote.

Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless

The Fed’s have no say about who is an “approved” voter, the states hold that authority, guided by the constitution.

The states have ignored his EO banning mail in voting, and are resisting his demands for voter info.

They will not accept ICE agents at polling places either. (And there aren’t enough to police every polling place, even just blue districts in big cities anyway)

request and although the final say on a purge is up to the state the state can give in to the use of the supplied suggested list from the Feds. States like Florida and Texas would have no problem accepting armed ICE-American Gestapo agents providing "security" at the door to the polling locations. There might be push back from a certain segment of the citizens of those states but the people in leadership in those states would have no problem whatsoever.

They might get the consent of the red states, but that won’t be enough to stop the Blue Tsunami in November,

state elections and local elections in red states. Nobody thinks that those deep blue states are going to go along but we can't take over without winning some seats in red states as well. That's one reason the extreme gerrymandering is such a big issue.

They want to scare people into staying home on Election Day - it’s not going to work.

It is my biggest concern. The Democratic party at all levels MUST be working on all such issues preemptively and after the vote counts come in. After everything that can be done to enable eligible voters to vote, every anomaly, no matter how small MUST addressed before acknowledging a Repub win.
