The Trump administration plans on sending election monitors to 15 jurisdictions in six states—four of which are deep blue, with the remaining being swing states—for the remaining primary elections this summer.
Monitors will be placed in Arizona, Michigan, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Virginia. The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division chief Harmeet Dhillon made the announcement in a video posted on social media Tuesday.
“The Department of Justice, like it has in Republican and Democrat administrations in the past, is sending election monitors to places where there have been problems with the integrity of elections,” Dhillon later said on the Joe Pags Show, a conservative radio show, before reading the list of states and the specific areas that would be watched.
I don’t believe that is legal, either…
I’m surprised he’s going after Massachusetts like this. I mean, I imagine it’s spite over humane treatment of immigrants and resistance to interfering with education, but come on. We’re so blue that no amount of voter intimidation could possibly turn our vote red
Hmm, mostly swing states he lost in 2020.
Definitely going to just “observe” and not actively interfere with elections. No way no how.
ICE just parked around the corner waiting for anyone that fits their “parameters” to try and vote, no doubt.
The “Parameters”
Now I’m sad I can’t upvote this more than once. Hahaha
I know I’m safe, I’m elmers glue white, straight, and male. Unless I wear a Harris/Walz T-Shirt, they’ll never know I’m voting liberal. ;-)
Virginia here, looks like I’m going to be walking into the voting booth with my camera in my shirt pocket recording… Just in case…
Careful, I think recording in those areas (x feet from the polls) is illegal.
Not saying don’t do it, but just keep that in mind. Especially when we’re talking about people who will be looking for any reason whatsoever to stop certain people from voting.
I posted a chart of the restrictions by swing state… helpful information…most of them seem to say “as long as it doesn’t infringe on privacy or can be constituted as voter intimidation it’s ok”
See you there
How is that going to help? Seriously.
Where possible, everyone should…and send any irregularities to the media…

Alec, I’ll take, “Things that Trump will pardon for” for $600
TRUMP SHOULD BE ARRESTED
State Government > Federal Government
States rights!
I smell an uprising…
