DeSantis Pushes Back Against Biden DOJ Monitors Interfering in Florida's Election
The Floridian ^ | 11/08/2022 | Pete

Posted on 11/08/2022 5:36:36 AM PST by Pete Dovgan

.....Department of Justice monitors are not permitted under Florida law. Section 102.031(3)(a) of the Florida Statutes lists the people who “may enter any polling room or polling place.”

“Earlier today, the Florida Department of State received copies of your letters to Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in which you seem to indicate that the Department of Justice will send monitors inside polling places in these counties,” reads the letter.

“We also understand you sent a similar letter to Palm Beach County. But Department of Justice monitors are not permitted under Florida law. Section 102.031(3)(a) of the Florida Statutes lists the people who “may enter any polling room or polling place.” Department of Justice personnel are not included on the list. Even if they could qualify as “law enforcement” under section 102.031(3)(a)6. of the Florida Statutes, absent some evidence concerning the need for federal intrusion, or some federal statute that preempts Florida law, the presence of federal law enforcement inside polling places would be counterproductive and could potentially undermine confidence.”

Florida’s results will be validated and finalized by 10 PM ET. There’s no reason for counting to go on any longer than that.

They all seem to be sent to Heavy Democratic voting areas...... Why do heavy democratic voting areas need DOJ and Fed goons?

This is why they’re worried about more Republican governors, especially those that aren’t pantywaists like Sununu and Ducey, because they’ll push back on the great and powerful Federal government.

The states have begun retrieving their powers and they don’t like it.

That’s where the cheat happens and they want to fortify it.

Under our increasingly theoretical Constitution, the Federal Government has exactly ZERO policing powers within the “Several States”.

Nice try Governor, but Democrats stopped playing by Marquis of Queensbury rules a long, long time ago. Who is supposed to stop them, the 80-year-old female volunteer poll workers?

So they can stop and intimidate the poll watchers, while they run interference for the cheaters.

I seem to be remembering that the RATs passed some election laws behind our backs a while ago, or tried to.

I may be mistaken but they will claim the law allows them to do this.

This day could be wild. I hope people toss the Biden partisan DOJ out on their butts.

This letter places the DOJ “monitors” in direct jeopardy for such an arrest.
There is a constitutionally elected Law Enforcement group (county sheriff) that can be called by \anyone\ in the county observing a breach of the law.
And, just in case one or more of them decide to “let it slide”, the Florida Constitution gives the Governor the duty to remove them (sheriff) from office for willfully ignoring the law.
This letter just ratchets that up to “willfully and knowingly”.
Always a consideration when assessing prison time.

He should setup monitoring zones a block away and force all federal employee’s in it or face arrest, just like Barry the Muslim setup free speech zones a block away

As Florida is attempting to restore election integrity as outlined in the Constitution we continue to see the politically subverted Federal Department of Justice push forward the election subversion that has been ongoing and fostered and supported by the Marxist media.

RIGGED

Arrest them and detain them for a couple years without a trial. No bail.

I would almost be willing to vote DeSantis over trump if Ron said he would implement florida voting system nationwide when he was elected

Those are three of the four or so problem counties that seem to have the most trouble with voting. If it weren’t for the current federal administration being under Biden, it might’ve been a good idea to send federal observers. In this case, we know that doing so would only be to aid in any intentional chaos.

In extension, the DOJ has no legislative warrant to create a law ENFORCEMENT bureau.
Accordingly, since the FBI was simply created in 1908 and funded with existing funds, the Legislature \ever since\ has not agreed to nor codified the existence of the FBI as a law ENFORCEMENT mechanism capable of executing warrants, arrests and incarceration.
The Constitution has no language allowing any member of the Executive cabinet (branch) to muster and empower a law ENFORCEMENT group that has country wide authority.

But we have allowed it to go on for so long that it cannot be reversed.
