Imagine if this were coming from the AG of Alabama or South Carolina, instead of the Acting AG of New Jersey.
After the Justice Department announced that it was sending election monitors to New Jersey (not to mention California) to watch for election irregularities, local officials reacted with bluster, defiance and threats.
Acting Attorney General Angela Cai is pushing back on yesterday’s announcement that the Justice Department would monitor polling sites in Passaic County… there are “very limited circumstances” where federal authorities may enter a polling location, and that federal election monitors must seek authorization from a federal judge to observe election proceedings.
Cai argues the U.S. Attorney General must conduct a “highly circumscribed” process under the Voting Rights Act in response to worthy complaints of race discrimination.
Now the Attorney General’s office is telling counties that they are not obligated to permit the Justice Department access.
“As a matter of federal and state law, and absent a court order or agreement, DOJ monitors have no greater rights to enter or access polling sites than members of the public,” Cai stated. “If you have any questions on these matters, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
Uh-huh. I’m sure.
If this were happening in Alabama, there would be front page outrage across the media, claims that the federal government needs to take urgent action to bring this rogue state into line, but obviously the rules are very different here.
After making themselves sanctuary states for illegal aliens, local officials insist on making themselves into sanctuary states for voter fraud.
But what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. These are the new rules of the road for election monitors.
Observing how elections are actually carried out is a “threat to Our Democracy”.
If this does not Prove the point...sheesh
It is a threat to “our democracy” if you speak leftist.
Our democracy=their democracy = their in charge, you shut up and obey.
Why would you object unless you were planning something illegal? And don't give me this: "You'll intimidate the voters" bullcrap. Ask the voters and I'll bet the vast majority would approve of the monitors.
I remember the Biden administration tried to send election monitors to Florida in 2024 and De Santis wouldn’t allow it. I wonder if what these monitors are supposed to do is different.
Who else remembers the flood of left-aligned attorney-observers that flooded FL in the Bush elections? I guess observers were okay then but not now.
Ha! I should have read all the comments before posting!
I think their needs to be another 30 year consent order concerning this issue.
They can try but DOJ does have the right to monitor these elections. Might as well get these court cases resolved before midterms.
The Dems will send their Antifa thugs to harass the monitors like they do with ICE.
Is she connected to China?
I remember that New Jersey is Ground Zero for US vote fraud.
Gee, I can think of only one reason why they would do that...
The DoJ has been monitoring elections in the South for over 60 years now.
Joisey guy and his buddies were the ones who sent them there.
Hilarious that he now claims it’s not OK.
From the Democrat Election Handbook: it’s harder to cheat if someone is watching.
