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.”

    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.

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