And not every polling site. They can target a few critical sites that have large Democratic support and concentrate in districts where the election will be close.

Several House seats are determined by less than 2000 votes. In 2024, 37 seats were decided by less and 5% of the vote. This is where I expect to see ICE deployed.

The Senate is a bit harder since they are statewide, but 6 Senate seats were decide by less than 5% in 2024.
