https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/the-gop-sinks-to-a-new-low-on-election-security-theater/ar-AAVjnws?li=BBnb7KzThere are also questions about the exact purview and power of these new units. I really think we have a lot of procedures in place where these things can be addressed, and I worry that were putting in place a police force which has no guardrails, Florida state Sen. Lori Berman, a Democrat, told The Associated Press about the new election police unit in her state. We dont know who can initiate the investigation, theres nothing to prevent it from being used for targeting certain groups, and I really worry about us having this kind of squad thats totally out there without any supervision.

Also (I have to say), it'd be a wonderful place for the country to be in if child poverty, illiteracy, and lack of health care were at 0.000667% and our legislators acted to do something about it.

I wish she would run for Governor, but she doesn't wish to, and I get it.
