A coalition of 39 House Republicans on Saturday sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr, asking the Department of Justice to investigate allegations of potential voter fraud. According to the members, it's important for Americans to have "the utmost confidence" in the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
Below is the full letter:
Dear Attorney General Barr,
While each state runs its own election process, the United States Department of Justice is ultimately responsible for the integrity of federal elections. The American people must have the utmost confidence that the outcome of the presidential election is legitimate.
With widespread reports of irregularities, particularly in the vote counting process, it is time for you to use the resources of the Department to ensure that the process is conducted in a manner that is fully consistent with state and federal law. And, it is also important that the process be completely transparent, so that the American people will have full confidence in the result.
The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division Voting Section's responsibility to ensure that the right to vote is sacred. This not only means access to the ballot box, but it also means ensuring that no one's vote is devalued by any means of voter fraud.
The U.S. Marshals Service is also available to ensure that judicial orders are carried out. When it comes to a federal election, it should not matter whether those judicial orders come from a state or federal court. For example, if a state court orders that observers can watch ballot counting in a federal election, no local election official should be able to defy that order.
With that in mind, we request an immediate response to the following questions. What are you doing to ensure the integrity of the voting and counting process right now? Will you commit to using all the resources at your disposal to ensure that only legal votes are being counted and being counted in a fully transparent and manner immediately?
Thank you for your prompt reply.
Signatories include: Michael Cloud (TX) , Andy Biggs (AZ), Greg Steube (FL), Bob Gibbs (OH), Bill Posey (FL), Ralph Norman (VA), Morgan Griffith (VA), Jeff Duncan (SC), Ted Budd (NC), Mark Green (TN), Andy Harris (MD), Scott DesJarlais (TN), Dan Bishop (NC), Jody Hice (GA), Mike Kelly (PA), Randy Weber (TX), Brian Babin (TX), Chip Roy (TX), Robert Latta (OH), Ben Cline (VA), James Comer (KY), Guy Reschenthaler (PA), Warren Davidson (OH), Scott Perry (PA), Jim Banks (IN), Rick Allen (GA), Roger Marshall (KS), Doug LaMalfa (CA), Bill Flores (TX), Bill Johnson (OH), Michael Conaway (TX), Kevin Hern (OK), Glen Grothman (WI), Tom Emmer (MN), John Joyce (PA), John Rose (TN), Lance Gooden (TX), Jodey Arrington (TX), and Dan Crenshaw (TX).
Other elected officials, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD), have said the court process needs play out before a definitive winner of the presidential election can be determined.
Despite multiple members of the press saying they need more "evidence" of what's taking place, these instances are being ignored. The same thing goes for United States Postal Service whistleblowers who have stepped forward to say postmasters are backdating the dates ballots were received.
There have been a string of USPS whistleblower cases that Project Veritas has made public. Project Veritas released their first video of a United States Postal Service worker in Traverse City, Michigan, coming forward to expose their supervisor, Johnathan Clarke, potentially engaging in voter fraud. The second video released Thursday afternoon allegedly shows a USPS worker in Las Vegas, Nevada, talking about handing over a "handful" of ballots to an undercover journalist. The blank ballots were collected because they were allegedly sent to the wrong address. The third video was Hopkins' original report. Video number four was of a USPS whistleblower in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania who claimed supervisors and other higher-ups are ordering carriers to backdate ballots received after Election Day.
Voter fraud is such a concern that the Michigan State Legislature convened a rare Saturday session to address it. One of the main focuses was a software glitch that caused 6,000 votes in Antrim County to be incorrectly counted for Joe Biden. Once the a hand-count had taken place, those 6,000 votes went to President Trump. The Michigan Secretary of State, however, has said that this was "human error," not a "software glitch."
That evil deep state bastard (Barr) will do nothing and needs to have his bag pipes shoved so far up his ass that you will be able to punch his fat stomach and Amazing Grace will play from his mouth.
“You do know the Justice Dept. is investigating this fraud?”
Of course, and in 4 years they will name a select panel to really dig into it.
And we will still be expecting the Durham Report at any moment...
Yep, just like Durham is investigating.
If they start their investigation now, they might arrest a low level person 2 years from now.
A.G. Barr has come up with a critical problem that has come up at a bad time. He has, over the months, developed an incontinence problem that has persisted for a record length of time. The industrial strength adult diapers he has been using are failing him. The situation has reached critical urgency that requires critical attention and all of his time searching for the right fit for his problem. It is essential that he stop the thick, disgusting, brown streaks staining the Attorney General Chair.
My sarcasm is warranted.
What??
Much of blame can be shared with the Senate who threatened him to not fire people, & there refusal to confirm whomever.
agreed.
Have anybody seen the GA Gov yet ?
agreed.
Have anybody seen the GA Gov yet ?
We are three ‘days’ and a weekend away from the election.....and you expect what? The investigations have barely begun...sheesh!
You have no clue what they’re doing.........and a reminder we are 3 days away from a Pres. election..#3 days. I suspect you want Federal arrests tomorrow morning.
That has been Trumps undoing ...at least up to this point. Piss poor picks for critical positions.
What thread???
l8r
They only got 39 to sign? That’s disgraceful.
“Twice he picked wrong guy”
Twice. Way more than that! He was taking advice from people who wanted to sabotage him.
Some Nevada election officials need to go to prison. If democrat appointed election chief Joe Gloria knew about any of this, he should be first.
Nevada's Clark County elections chief has reports of voter fraud, won’t investigate until counting complete https://t.co/ZQzD4IgjHI— Arthur Schwartz (@ArthurSchwartz) November 8, 2020
...which then, Barr chuckled, tossed the letter into his roaring fireplace, took a swig of his wine and finished his Big Mac...
Frightening implications if the DOJ/FBI gets involved. Weisman/Mueller all over again, finding/destroying evidence.
ie DOJ/FBI = the clean up team
Disgraceful yes. BOTOH I’m surprised he got that many.

Thread: In case y'all are wondering who at the DOJ is in charge of election law matters at the @TheJusticeDept-- there are two places to look. First, the Civil Rights Division of DOJ, which is headed by Eric Dreiband, Don McGahn (former WH Counsel) law partner. DOJ says it sent/
2/ election personnel to 44 jurisdictions to monitor this election. Curiously, many of these are places with massive problems in this election including Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Maricopa County ... What did they observe exactly ...
3/ Whatever it was, they aren't doing anything about it Woman shrugging and the @realDonaldTrump campaign is filing suits in several states to ensure that all & only legal ballots are counted. There is another deparatment of DOJ where election problems are addressed -- criminal division ...
4/ and guess who is in charge of the Election Crimes Branch of the DOJ Criminal Division? A career guy named Richard Pilger: and if the name seems vaguely familiar at all, it's because Pilger was deeply involved in the Lois Lerner IRS scandal...
5/ ... Allegedly colluding with her on ways to target and prosecute conservative organizations like Tea Party and others. Here's an article from @ACLJ about his involvement with Lerner's illegal scheme to frame conservatives:
6/ Pilger, when subpoenaed to Capitol Hill by House Oversight, Darrell Issa in 2014, refused to answer over three dozen questions under oath on the advice of DOJ attorneys. https://thehill.com/policy/finance/206694-issa-subpoenas-justice-department-on-irs And despite this history, Pilger is STILL in charge of the same department at DOJ/
7/ HE's supposed to be controlling the prosecution of election fraud in this election? The guy accused of conspiring with Lois Lerner to criminalize conservative speech? Don't hold your breath about Nevada GOP criminal referral that DOJ is "looking into":
8/ The government is full of survivors like this -- they burrow in, lurk, and like submarines they surface to survey, then dive & fire torpedos. And you never know what hit you. DOJ civil rights & election integrity have been MIA in this election ... it didn't have to be so.
