Heartily agree. Not needed if existing agencies do their jobs. And if existing agencies aren’t doing their jobs, the new one won’t either. Just another chance for another politicized agency.
I was against the creation of the Dept of Homeland Security for the same reason. Existing agencies should have covered it. Also, part of the reason 9/11 happened was that the FBI and CIA weren’t communicating. Adding a 3rd agency only compounded that problem.
Ha, no one followed the law. The video monitoring the drop boxes were destroyed one month after the election instead of being kept for two years.
We will never know about the drop boxes and ballot harvesting. See below excerpt.
But some of Georgia’s largest counties tell Just the News that they no longer possess evidence that could be helpful to probing the harvesting allegations: video camera surveillance footage that monitored the drop boxes installed around Georgia to help voters cast ballots during the pandemic.
Election officials in several counties say the reason they discarded the footage is that the emergency rules issued by the State Elections Board said they only needed to keep the footage for 30 days after the election.
“We took direction from the Secretary of State and State Election Board, assuming they were not implementing a Rule contrary to law,” said the Cobb County elections office, which acknowledged it deleted its video footage from 2020. “Drop boxes were established under an emergency order from the Governor.”
Fulton County, home to Atlanta and the state’s largest voting metropolis, said it too has long since deleted the files.
“I was informed that the videos were only required to be kept for 30 days post-election,” spokeswoman Regina Waller said. “Please see bullet point number 5 of the attached SEB Rule regarding Elections in Georgia.”
