No. To what end would they be sent? Study after study including from the Hoover Institution consistently show that voter fraud is rare. The only reason to send them is voter intimidation. Do we live in America or Russia?

Especially when the agents are not likely to be neutral in motive. Feels very un-American. Trump excels at bringing out the worst in society.
