DOJ sending staff to monitor 35 jurisdictions for compliance with voting rights laws

As you guessed mostly Dem districts

Jeff Sessions is sending DOJ staff to monitor 35 jurisdictions — and he’s focusing on voter “fraud."

DOJ press release:




Kristen Clarke of @LawyersComm says DOJ is using these voting monitors in 35 jurisdictions to advance a fake narrative of voter fraud.

She points out DOJ isn’t monitoring 3 GA counties where voter suppression is a problem.

Clarke sent me this statement:




They know they are going to losr bigtime and are trying claim voter fraud....we better be ready

..........

These fuckers are up to something, Dems need to make sure they get smart people in there pronto.

In all previous years that I've voted, this would have comforted me.

Today, it terrifies me.

GOTV!

I asked the DOJ why they picked those voting locations to monitor, and not others.

They basically ducked in this anonymous DOJ background statement, citing a "number of factors.”

fraud..their not - if they were, this business of voter machines would have been taken care of..and Kemp would be in jail -

Buried in the first link - a "report" link....

Here is the "report" - backstory and details..most criminal.....


https://whowhatwhy.org/2018/11/04/kemps-aggressive-gambit-to-distract-from-election-security-crisis/

When Georgia Democrats were alerted to what they believe to be major vulnerabilities in the state’s voter registration system Saturday, they contacted computer security experts who verified the problems. They then notified Secretary of State Brian Kemp’s lawyers and national intelligence officials in the hope of getting the problems fixed.


A Connecticut-based private contractor, PCC Technologies Inc., has contracts to manage voter registration systems for Georgia and 14 other states. PCC also runs online voter registration for six of them, including Georgia. If these vulnerabilities exist in Georgia, they could also be present in other states where PCC operates.

Thanks for posting this link. The WhoWhatWhy story is the clearest, most thorough explanation of what this is all about that I've seen yet.

Could this be the pretext for Hair Furor firing him post election when they come up with nothing?

Our side better be prepared. These a-holes will not give up power even if voters vote them out.

There is nothing to justify this. It's another Republican political stunt they'll use to try to justify stricter voter ID laws and other forms of voter suppression.

More grounds for impeachment.
