The Justice Department says that it has 94 field offices ready to prosecute voter fraud, voter intimidation, or any discriminatory practices during the upcoming election.
“Individuals with complaints related to possible violations of the federal voting rights laws can call the Justice Department’s toll-free telephone line at 800-253-3931, and can also submit complaints at www.civilrights.justice.gov.”
Because voter fraud HAPPENS. Anyone who says otherwise has been propagandized by the lucrative voter fraud denial industry. Voter fraud is not new and it is not a Republican talking point.
In one Pennsylvania county, voters were turned away from polling locations hours before the polls were set to close with no explanation as to why. The Trump campaign sued and a judge sided with them, ruling that voters will be able to apply for, receive, vote, and return a mail-in ballot until the close of business on Friday, Nov. 1. The last day was supposed to be on Wednesday.
In Michigan, the Secretary of State admitted that there is a nation-wide issue with Dominion Voter Access Terminals. She says she’s “not happy” about it and they’re “working with Dominion.” The state says that this will not affect vote tabulation though. Okay….
Also in Michigan, a Chinese man turned himself in after he voted illegally but because “there is no way for election officials to retrieve it once it’s been put through a tabulator,” his vote will be counted.
In Colorado, the Secretary of State’s office posted a spreadsheet to its website that “improperly included” the partial passwords to some parts of the state’s voting systems. It was on the website for months! The Secretary of State was forced to admit this after initially trying to hide it after Republicans demanded answers.
It’s not a question of whether or not fraud will happen. It will. It is a question of how much this will affect the outcome and whether or not the authorities will prosecute it when they see it and be able to correct it. For more context, see our interview with former Justice Department lawyer J. Christian Adams about how Democrats tend to only prosecute the voter fraud that disadvantages them.
