8. As an election worker, this is what I see...

This "guidance" clarifies for all election officials what their legal obligations are (according to current law) to protect the right to vote and to protect the ballots and voting equipment before as well as after the fact. This is a good thing. It's putting anyone who wants to go rogue on notice. It's reminding officials of their obligations to protect the integrity of the vote at the risk of being charged with violating their oath of office or the law. It's also putting on notice the knuckleheads in some of these state legislatures that Federal law governs most aspects of federal elections and they're just p*ssing in the wind if they think wasting time on election restrictions will change that.

Do I want more? Yes. As someone said above, arrests and the sound of a jail door slamming are the only things the cult understands. That said, investigations take time and I have patience.
