DOJ tells prosecutors armed federal agents are allowed in ballot counting centers: report
The Hill ^ | November 5, 2020 | Justine Coleman

The Department of Justice (DOJ) told prosecutors early Wednesday that armed federal agents are allowed in ballot counting centers to investigate potential voter fraud, The New York Times reported.

Three people who described the message told the Times that the 1:30 a.m. email from Richard Donoghue said the law that bans armed federal authorities from being at the polls on Election Day does not apply to polling stations and locations that are counting ballots after that day.

In the email, the principal associate deputy attorney general said the law “does not prevent armed federal law enforcement persons from responding to, investigate, or prevent federal crimes at closed polling places or at other locations where votes are being counted.”

This is so corrupt. I’m hoping the “tolerance” ends.

Though this may sound good on the surface, but they will be needed in sufficient numbers to be able to watch everyone and everything.

Those crooks will even try to steal under their very noses!

The agents should have been in there on Tuesday (or whenever votes started to arrive).

My beloved husband laughed and remarked it was due to the Fair Voting Act.

Guessing the dems never saw this move coming.

One, I don't think anybody from the DOJ has shown up yet, pistols or not.

Two, they're two days late after most of the cheating has taken place.

And three, why hasn't the DOJ descended in hordes on these cheating blue states?
