Barr authorizes Justice to probe any 'substantial allegations' of voter fraud
The Hill ^ | 11/9/2020 | BY DOMINICK MASTRANGELO

Posted on 11/09/2020 5:09:00 PM PST by bitt

Attorney General William Barr has authorized the Department of Justice to investigate any "substantial allegations" of voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Barr wrote that investigations “may be conducted if there are clear and apparently-credible allegations of irregularities that, if true, could potentially impact the outcome of a federal election in an individual State.”

The development was first reported by The Associated Press on Monday evening.

President-elect Joe Biden was projected by every major news outlet as the winner of the presidential election on Saturday, but President Trump has indicated he will not concede, alleging without evidence that there was widespread voter fraud.

The Trump campaign has filed lawsuits in several key battleground states that Biden won, asking local judges to either invalidate or stop counting mail-in ballots, a record number of which were cast this year amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Some Republicans have backed Trump's claims of voter fraud or his right to challenge the count, while others have moved on to congratulating Biden on winning the White House.

Investigate. If evidence found, try the perps. If guilty, hang them as an example to EVERYONE to make a note to self, "Don't EVER do that again."

Then, we people riot, shoot them.

alleging without evidence

There are those words again, I keep trying to remember The Hill used those words during RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA.

Maybe we need Common Sense Licensing and Regulations for Commercial Speech for compensation or gain?

I'm sick and tired of this hurdle of prosecutors and courts only acting on voter fraud if it would overturn an election.

We need to get serious about prosecuting all vote fraud. It's like the "broken window" theory of crime enforcement. To deter the big stuff, you need to treat the smaller stuff seriously.

Barr is giving the local US Attorneys an easy way to avoid getting involved, by claiming that it wasn't obvious at the beginning that the fraud to be investigated would overturn the election.
