At least two red states—Florida and Missouri—have made clear to the Biden Department of Justice that their federal election monitors are not welcome in their states’ polling places.
The Justice Department announced on Monday “plans to monitor compliance with federal voting rights laws in 64 jurisdictions in 24 states” on Election Day to “protect their rights of voters.” Monitors will include personnel from the Civil Rights Division and from U.S. Attorneys’ Offices. In addition, the division also deploys monitors from the Office of Personnel Management, where authorized by federal court order. Division personnel will also maintain contact with state and local election officials. Brad McVay, General Counsel of Florida’s Department of State, said federal monitors are lacking “specific statutory authorization,” and are not permitted under Florida law.
In a letter to John “Bert” Russ, Deputy Chief & Elections Coordinator of the Voting Section in the Civil Rights Division, McVay said that absent any evidence concerning the need for federal intrusion or federal statute that preempts Florida law, “the presence of federal law enforcement inside polling places would be counter productive and undermine confidence in the election.” Missouri’s Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft is also letting the Civil Rights Division of the Biden Justice Dept. know that its election monitors are not authorized to be at polling sites on Election Day, and are not welcome.
Ashcroft took to Twitter Sunday afternoon after a Cole County election authority received a letter from Charles Thomas, the Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, informing him that DOJ staff would be present at polling sites “reviewing Cole County’s voting program on Election Day.”
“While the U.S. DOJ could clearly learn a lot from Missouri about non-partisanship and how to administer accessible, secure and credible elections, it would be highly inappropriate for federal agents to violate […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
