Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) blocked Attorney General Merrick Garland’s election monitors from entering polling locations.
Biden’s corrupt Justice Department this week deployed federal goons to harass poll workers in 64 key battleground precincts in 24 states.
DeSantis pushed back and told the feds they are not welcome in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.
“Earlier today, the Florida Department of State received copies of your letters to Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in which you seem to indicate that the Department of Justice will send monitors inside polling places in these counties,” the DeSantis Administration wrote in a letter to John Russ, Deputy Chief & Elections Coordinator.
“We also understand you sent a similar letter to Palm Beach County. But Department of Justice monitors are not permitted under Florida law. Section 102.031(3)(a) of the Florida Statutes lists the people who “may enter any polling room or polling place.” Department of Justice personnel are not included on the list. Even if they could qualify as “law enforcement” under section 102.031(3)(a)6. of the Florida Statutes, absent some evidence concerning the need for federal intrusion, or some federal statute that preempts Florida law, the presence of federal law enforcement inside polling places would be counterproductive and could potentially undermine confidence,” the letter read, according to the Floridian Press.
The Floridian Press reported:
The DeSantis administration is pushing back against President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice’s apparent effort to send in election “monitors” inside state-run polling locations within several Florida counties.
In a letter to John “Bert” Russ, Deputy Chief & Elections Coordinator for the Department of Justice by Florida Department of State General Counsel Brad McVay, the DeSantis administration warns that under Florida statute, DOJ monitors “are not permitted” inside Florida polling locations.
But Department of Justice monitors are not permitted under Florida law. Section 102.031(3)(a) of the Florida Statutes lists the people who “may enter any polling room or polling place.”
The DeSantis administration will in turn dispatch its own election integrity monitors to ensure that the federal government does not interfere in Florida’s election process. The decree from the Florida Department of State comes a day or so after Broward County activist Chris Nelson first posted an email to “field clerks” he received from a source.
The author of the of email in question urges Supervisor of Elections workers to “grant them access to see the process.”
Michigan was cheating in real time all friggin night
There are videos of masked poll workers marking godam ballots while they were on fox news!
WTF
The GOP must be gutted along with all other 3 letter agencies
Infiltrated , all of them
Oh yeah
And where was the so called ng in 14 cities that were supposed to be monitoring the polls
Bullshit
Were they there to monitor the polls, really? Or on stand-by in case something erupted?
Or maybe for a different reason that we’re not being told…
This whole thing keeps getting worse but maybe they want that. Right now they are dunking on us putting the mentally handicapped in office and rubbing our noses in us to provoke us while they double down.
You betcha there’s another reason, Sister, and it certainly isn’t on the up and up.
I’m not sure now that you say this
I just assumed that they, like boneheads DOJ goons were supposed to be an optical?
