First presidential election in 50 years without federal observers to protect voters.

Sorry if this info has been posted before, but I didn't know this so maybe others missed it too.


"Every Election Day since the enactment of the Voting Rights Act in 1965, the Department of Justice has deployed hundreds of trained experts to ensure that citizens’ voting rights are being respected. These observers—frequently sent to polling places with histories of voter discrimination—had full access to polling sites, and were empowered under the authority of the federal government to intervene to enforce the law and protect voters from harassment or intimidation. But this provision was one of the casualties of the Supreme Court’s 2013 decision in Shelby County v. Holder. Now, the Justice Department can deploy election observers only by federal court order."

1. Let's go get those Federal Orders!

There has been enough evidence that SCOTUS Chief Justice, John Roberts, couldn't have been more wrong in his ruling. Texas and several other states had discriminatory legislation set to go at 12:00 a.m. The Kansas Secretary of State has been pushing election discrimination to many Southern and Western states on the BS pretext of fighting in-person voter fraud which is virtually non-existent by all accounts.

That should be enough!

2. they should know where major

problems might crop up. Just like the RW had something set up immediately to disenfranchise mostly minority voters, a pro democracy federal judge can do the same 12midnight-Nov7-8. and they move out at that moment.
