The Republic via USA Today Network, FILE

"This document sets down a marker that says the Justice Department is concerned about this, and we will be following this closely," a DOJ official told reporters on a media conference call Wednesday.Attorney General Merrick Garland speaks about voting rights legislation at a news conference at the Department of Justice on June 25, 2021, in Washington.

After the department's letter, Arizona officials backed off of a plan to send contractors from the group to visit homes in the state's largest county of Maricopa to ask voters whether or not they had cast ballots. The Wednesday guidance includes a warning that officials who seek to embark on such"audits" can't do so in a way that will intimidate voters.

Too little, too late. Arizona's fraudit needs to be thoroughly investigated by the DOJ and all who mishandled the ballots need to be prosecuted.

There needs to be a unified way to vote nationally so no one can ever mess with our voting. Voter fraud didn’t increase in 2020 voter turn out did. THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DIDN’T VOTED FOR TRUMP, THEY VOTED FOR BIDEN!

Good, what Cyber Ninjas has done/is doing seems to be in violation/illegal.

Ggg

Rule1: Don't turn the ballots and machines over to conspiracy nuts. It won't end well.
