Patel was asked by U.S. Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) about comments made by Michigan gubernatorial candidate John James, who said Patel has told him the FBI would “have a presence” across the state leading up to Election Day.
“We have an election crimes community coordinator at all 56 offices,” Patel said. “So you bet we’re gonna have them there … for election interference matters.”

So if ICE agents are there intimidating Hispanic voters, the FBI agents will arrest them for election interference, right?

You’re still talking about the Hispanic voters right?

That would be great, but where the hell are the local police? (rhetorical, too many of them are with ICE)

He's full of shit, they don't have the manpower to do that. Same with ICE and DHS, the number of polling places vastly outnumbers their headcount

They're not going to be at all polling places just the ones that are more D and minority. They will also just reduce the number of polling locations if they're in control of running the elections, something they've already done in most red states.

Not all of them. Just "certain" ones.

Don't plan on using Grindr after going to the polls. Probably won't be working.
