Department of Justice plan raises questions over its ability to recruit so many people – and what they would do
Former officials and voting rights experts have expressed skepticism over a pledge by the Trump administration to dispatch 1,000 monitors across the country to scrutinize November’s US midterm elections.
While the Department of Justice (DoJ) has expressed hope that the operation will be the largest in its history, its plan raised questions over its ability to recruit so many people – and what they would do.
The US president has repeatedly denied the results of election defeats, including his 2020 loss in the presidential election to Joe Biden, and in recent months has escalated concerns that he will seek to meddle in November’s elections.
There's no limit to whatever dirty tricks these assholes will try to pull.
Poll workers need to remember these assholes can only observe, not intervene. Any threats of prosecution or demand to take people's ballots is illegal and should be treated as such.
Us voters need to stand up to any attempts by them to block our votes or intimidate us. We can't stand for any horse shit.
Distracted as I was when I read this earlier, the experts here did not realize or acknowledge the real danger to these monitors. It's not disruption of the polling place and the like, it's being used as a source to claim fraud after the fact to overturn results, as I recall.
