Why do I not find this reassuring?
Looking at the list of sites, I notice Ford County, KS. This is Dodge City, where they consolidated all the precincts into one super-precinct voting miles outside town in an old warehouse. Why do I not think the DoJ will be looking into that violation of voter’s rights?
Sgt Schultz comes to mind…
Voter fraud = anyone who doesn’t vote Republivcan
I see DOJ is mislabeling this issue again right out of the gates. It’s voter suppression, not voter fraud.

Yeah they are two different things and one of them is real and one of them isn’t. They do need to get that straight.
This is not reassuring…mixed in there are places where Democrats are doing better than expected, or Democratic strongholds, as well as places that are on the bubble for Democratic pickups. It will be pretty easy for some DoJ representative to step in and take over how a polling station works, as the volunteers will defer to the “professional” in the room…even if that “professional” is doing things to interfere or slow down the voting process. And, the DoJ has said nothing about Kemp’s activities in GA, but is putting monitors in GA counties that have a lot of the minority and Democratic vote…that tells you all you need to know about Session’s plans here.
We can only hope that the DoJ monitors are not partisans and do their job professionally, and properly.
A man found to be too racist by his own colleagues to sit as a federal judge now oversees Voting Rights for the nation as its’ top law enforcement officer.
Am I the only person who finds this, at best, problematic?
I wonder if they are trying to screw the Navajos out of voting like they are doing on the reservations in North Dakota?
If this were true (ROFLMAO) why aren’t Kobach and Kemp in jail?
Vote tomorrow, November 6th, like your very life depended on it.
I read an article the other day that said they were.
figures. at least we may able to get Sinema elected, although its going to be incredibly tight.
It does figure since they are trying to disenfranchise the Sioux.
Luckily at least half the Navajo Nation is in New Mexico.
Gotta love the GOP - they don’t want First People to vote.
Ignoring the former, with extra emphasis on the latter.
Civil Rights Division plans to deploy personnel to 35 jurisdictions in 19 states to monitor for compliance with the federal voting rights laws.
IOW Anywhere Democrats and Darkies might show sufficient majorities to boot out the local white supremacist.
lol, they arent prejudiced against First People, they dont want ANYONE to vote unless its for rethuglicans.
What nightmare have we found ourselves in when our first instinct is to worry when the DOJ monitors elections?
Fox watching the chicken coop!
I live in Pima County, AZ. I have voted at the same polling site since 1980. In all of the elections since 1980 I am aware of just 2 instances of fraudulent voting being attempted. I guess to Sessions and trump that constitutes a “caravan” of illegal voters streaming in from God knows where, camping in yards and raping the local wimminz.
I am hoping beyond hope that Mueller drops the hammer on trump.
Pretty weak sauce, considering the boss has “strongly notified [them] to watch closely for any ILLEGAL VOTING.” Not even coming to my precinct, even though we had 6 suspicious votes out of 98 cast in 2016 (suspicious, in that nobody can imagine who in the neighborhood might secretly support Trump). Personally, I suspect scofflaw double-registered GOPers.
