Double up.

"Gov. Sanders will not permit the Department of Justice to improperly intimidate or unduly influence Arkansas voters which would be a violation of state law," spokesperson Sam Dubke said.

And in Missouri, where Republicans banned federal monitors in 2022, a spokesperson for Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft said the secretary will "again reject any push by the DOJ to interfere in Missouri elections."

I'm a little younger (Gen X) and don't know what this means?

Woodrow Wilson Mann, the mayor of Little Rock, asked President Eisenhower to send federal troops to enforce integration and protect the nine students. On September 24, Eisenhower invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807 to enable troops to perform domestic law enforcement. The president ordered the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army to Little Rock—initially without its black soldiers at the request of the Department of Justice—and federalized the entire 10,000-member Arkansas National Guard, taking it out of Faubus's control.[

At least the president did.

Them was the days.

Win Rockefeller. A great man. Defeated Faubus and started Arkansas down a liberal path including Dale Bumpers, Rob Riley, David Pryor, Joe Percell and a little known back water guy named Clinton, then Jim Guy Tucker. Followed by the death of Arkansas Liberal era the original Huckster.

so they've got nothing to worry about.

MONITORING is not intimidating or influencing, FFS.

when there are DOJ monitors in place? The southern Trumpublicans can't have any of that!

The legislature passed a partisan law that applies only to Harris County allowing them to administer the election. Republican cheating by refusing to allow people to vote or cancelling their mail ballots for minor reasons will be rampant to protect Cruz.

They can easily note problems with access for people with disabilities and any efforts to intimidate and suppress the vote from outside. Plus those who are prevented from voting can report any problems directly to them.

Harris County was one of the original 7 counties on the list – as is my county, Hays.

Evidence? Point to any state where that has happened since the Voting Rights Act?

Ken Fuckin’ Paxton. What a corrupt douchebag. If there’s a lawsuit against the federal government when Democrats are in control, 99.99% of the time, this asshole is behind it.

Why isn’t he in jail, yet? Under indictment for about a decade (for securities fraud, IIRC).

Paxton can fuck off. When he gets there, he can keep right on fucking off.

The part that allowed DoJ monitors to monitor federal elections in states. Now, if the states refuse to allow it, DoJ has to get a court order.

This is part of the VRA USSC gutted.

The rw supremes are ignoring stare decisis, so they should be ignored.

Very relieved that the Judges didn't let them get away with this.

Use the 101st Airborne like Eisenhower did.

repubs will do anything to win. That means lie, cheat and use the courts. repubs are mostly white, They are just full of hate. (I'm white)

It looks like states can still exclude federal election monitors unless there's an agreement or a court order.

Tonight!

Rogues states cannot be allowed to derail our democracy.

For Lucas Kunce, hope he wins. I’m sick to death of scarecrow Hawley.
