U.S. Justice Dept. warns states to tread carefully in auditing elections

In the guidance, the U.S. Justice Department raises concerns about the "unusual second round of examinations" into 2020 election results cropping up in various states even though none of the prior state recounts had "produced evidence of either wrongdoing or mistakes that casts any doubt on the outcome of the national election results."

Trump has falsely said the election was stolen from him through widespread voting fraud, and his Republican allies sought on this basis to undo his losses to Biden in key states. Numerous states have passed new Republican-backed voting restrictions in the aftermath of Trump's false claims. The Justice Department also issued guidance laying out the federal voting rights laws governing elections in a direct response to states such as Georgia that have, among other restrictions, limited early voting and voting by mail.

"I think the reason we're issuing this as guidance is to tell jurisdictions generally that we are concerned that if they're going to conduct these audits ... they have to comply with federal law," a Justice Department official told reporters on Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity. "This document sets down a marker."Attorney General Merrick Garland made in June when he vowed to aggressively enforce voting rights laws.

Screw him

toothless and amusingly weak. when trump is elected speaker of the house by sycophant R's, and the R house initiates impeachment against Biden and Harris, then maybe Garland will acknowledge he should've done more.

Feds threaten states. Great model for government.

nice
