A group of election security and administration experts are asking the Justice Department to send federal monitors to Arizona as the Republican-led state Senate carries out an audit of 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County in the state's 2020 presidential election.
In a letter to the top official at the Justice Department's voting section, five elections experts from the Brennan Center for Justice, Protect Democracy and The Leadership Conference expressed deep concerns about how the audit is being conducted, warning that it has put ballots "in danger of being stolen, defaced, or irretrievably damaged."
"They failed to ensure the physical security of ballots by keeping doors unlocked and allowing unauthorized persons to access the ballot storage facility," the letter reads. "They also risk compromising the integrity of the ballots themselves, using materials and technologies that will cause the ballot paper and marks to deteriorate, such as holding ballots to ultra-violet light without gloves.
"And, by restricting access to the audit by nonpartisan observers, election administrators and voting machine experts, they are failing to ensure that the audit is transparent."
The letter also expresses concern that the state Senate and the firm it has hired to run the audit - a Florida-based company called Cyber Ninjas - "are preparing to engage in conduct that will constitute unlawful voter intimidation in violation of the Voting Rights Act and other federal laws."
At issue, they wrote, is a plan to "physically canvass" voters in Maricopa County as part of the audit, and to gather information related to their voting history.
"Regardless of the fact that these actions will occur after the 2020 Election, they constitute intimidation because they seek to stoke fear amongst Arizonans of exercising their fundamental right to vote in future elections," the letter says.

Afraid of truth. Must contest search for same. Enemies on both sides R & D.
What about suitcases of ballots being pulled out from under a table when Republican poll watchers were sent home in GA?
Well, the suitcases were actually probably OK. Where else would ballots be stored? Under the tables in suitcases. But watch this Maricopa County thing. Things are heating up! Why the sudden interest in old ballots on the part of the Dems? If they were confident in their legality, would they be acting this way? Maybe. Maybe not.
You know your over the target when the flack is thick.
The Feds have NO BUSINESS being involved in this NONE!! The courts have NO BUSINESS being involved in this the state legislators RULE where this is concerned!!{
The Left has Acorn-like organizations dedicated to election fraud. They are professional crooks.
Any time you see “Brennan Center for Justice” - beware.
In other words, a few Rat “experts” requested some intimidation by the federal mafia.

Lawfare activists at it again.
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but Congress may at any time make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Place of chusing Senators.
The feds have zero authority in elections and the remedies found in each state, which have already been “legislated”
And Congress will be of no help as anything they do would be “ex post facto”
Thnx for playing
Easy. They were making sure one out of every three Trump votes went to Plugs the Pedo.
The Brennan Center is a hardcore leftist, often Marxist bunch of overfunded lawyers who hate Trump, conservatives, and much of what American used to stand for.
Forewarned is forearmed.
The Brennan Center reds were not interested in getting outside observers for allegations (with photos/films) of Democrat illegal activities in the Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania elections.
No reason to wonder why. They are paid reds and far-left liberals for the Democrat Party.
Ethical behavior and protecting democracy is not in their work descriptions, only protecting the corrupt Democrats is.
Flak, not flack.
Justice Dept monitors?
What’s next? UN monitors
DoJ looking more like our version of the RHSA every day.
Brennan Center for Justice, that’s got to be the Best oxymoron I’ve seen in years.
