Department of Justice (DOJ) officials alerted states on July 28 that they’re closely tracking the 2020 election audit taking place in Arizona and proposed audits in several other states.
The new guidance document summarizes the Biden administration’s position on federal law concerning audits, deeming the round of reviews that are either complete, in progress, or being proposed to be “unusual” and “exceedingly rare,” while highlighting that federal law imposes constraints under which counties and states must comply.
The laws cited by the DOJ include the Civil Rights Act of 1960, which mandates the retention of election records for 22 months after a federal election, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlines that no person “shall intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for voting or attempting to vote, or intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for urging or aiding any person to vote or attempt to vote.”
The former makes it the duty of election officials to maintain the security and integrity of the records and safeguard their chain of custody, “so that a complete and uncompromised record of federal elections can be reliably accessed and used in federal law enforcement matters,” the document states.

Questioning rigged “elections” is a felony.
The Constitution also forbids the Federal government from running Medicare, or Medicaid, or telling you what kind of toilet you can have, or light bulb your can buy, but they do it anyway.
This mess we are in now cannot be fixed at the ballot box, and between COVID lockdowns and Big Tech censorship, the soap box is not a viable option either ...
The Fed is saying that retaining all election material for 24 months??????
That’s perfect, what putzes, keeping those materials is EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT.
The Department of Stalin…
They played Trump like a fiddle?????????
The game is not over.

are they saying only the feds can look at the records?
Finally got the picture, huh?
there’s a federal law that prohibits a state from verifying ballot totals were legitimate?
funny... haven’t they been saying the fedgov can’t interfere with how a state runs its election? yet here they are trying to dictate protective measures.
Hey DOJ, try reading the Constitution at least once.
“The former makes it the duty of election officials to maintain the security and integrity of the records and safeguard their chain of custody, “so that a complete and uncompromised record of federal elections can be reliably accessed and used in federal law enforcement matters,” the document states.”
Bullcrap. There is not the slightest requirement that the ballots be sequestered and unavailable to the State for the 22 months after an election. Flip em the finger states.
Actually, by threatening, without evidence of a crime, to take legal action against the states, the DOJ is violating the very law that they cite, quoted below. In our Electoral College system, the actual “person” voting for president is the state. State residents merely advise the state how they want it to vote, but they don’t actually vote for president.
The process of voting arguably includes reviewing all related processes before, during and after your vote to ensure it was done and recorded correctly. So in making their statement, the DOJ is trying to “intimidate, threaten ot coerce” voters - in this case the states - from undergoing a review that is clearly part of their voting process.

...”no person “shall intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for voting or attempting to vote, or intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for urging or aiding any person to vote or attempt to vote.”
Like sharks when there's blood in the water...
The cowardly, disgraceful sheeple are the chum...
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
somebody had better give DOJ a copy of the “Federal Records (Preservation) Act” and any other versions of it.
See : (44 U.S.C. 3301) This applies mainly to DOJ records but there are national “Preservation Acts” for documents held by other government agencies.
“The Federal Records Act states that a federal record is documentation that:
1. is created or RECEIVED in any medium by an agency of the U.S. Government pursuant to law or in the transaction of business”.
This should apply to federal elections re the Fed. Election Commission receiving election results and associated election work product documents.
For the statutory definition of a record see ORMP link: http://dojnet.gov/jmd/ormp/faqs.php.
Don’t know if this is an open link to the public or not. However there should be other links re “National Records Preservation Act” etc.
Some election records might be sent to the National Archives and Records Administration (god help them, or the saints preserve them from incompetent people there) where they have to be preserved for designated periods of time.
Bush v. Gore anyone?
Interesting. Thanks.
What about Bush v. Gore?
DOJ “logic” apply?
As I’ve been posting: Bush v. Gore
No DOJ saber-rattling there.
1) it doesn’t violate federal law. There is no federal law preventing states from conducting audits of the vote.
2) the Elections Clause of the US Constitution makes it very clear that the legislature of each state determines the election laws in that state. The feds have no say unless they can prove racial discrimination....which is why they are trying to claim that constantly. There is zero evidence of that in either demanding IDs or conducting audits of the vote.
3) if the feds want to push this, they will lose in court and they know it. This is a hollow threat.
"no person “shall intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for voting or attempting to vote, or intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for urging or aiding any person to vote or attempt to vote.”
So what's the problem? Seems like Cyber Ninjas is living up to those standards and then some as the boxes of ballots received were an absolute mess. They pulled everything out and put back in the way they received them, minus any trash. All of it has been filmed.
