Would anyone be surprised if ICE sent agents to every polling station demanding that everyone standing in line waiting to vote produce documents proving they're an American citizen before they can go in and vote? They can even justify it (to their base) with the usual concerns about voter fraud - after all, we don't want illegal immigrants voting, do we?

That, IMO, is the plan to hang on to power this year. Next year it'll be, wherever Democrats did unseat republicans, to return to allegations of voter fraud and refusing to seat elected officials as they did with Adelita Grijalva.
but here's the thing... you can't vote if you are not american.

sooooo.... why bother lining up to vote if you don't have the documentation to prove you are allowed to vote? you have to show the documentation to the election official to be allowed to vote - no need for the "dude-bros" outside - it's just so stupid
