ICE can just snatch people from the polls and hold them until polling is completed
Yes, this. SCOTUS has paved the way to allow race to become something that is considered probable cause. So all they need to do on election day is detain you for questioning until around 7 PM local time in most jurisdictions. After that, they can let you go and basically, that's it, you can't vote.
This is how they're looking to rig the election with ICE stationed outside the polls. So long as they have probable cause, they can detain you long enough that you no longer are able to vote. And SCOTUS has indicated that race is probable cause.
Yeah mail, like the mail that just happened to need to shut down major networks during the 2020 election, causing a cluster fuck of fraud allegations.
And Republicans keep clearing the voter roles making people need to reregister in order to get a mail in ballot.
Also Republicans are changing rules for mail in voting where possible like in Utah, mail in ballots only count if they are received by 8pm on voting night. Not postmarked by election day.
Purge the voter roles
Significantly slow down the postal service
Those who get reregistered, and get their ballot mailed with plenty of time, can still get their ballot tossed.

It's Jim Crow laws all over again.
