Red states have attempted to #politicize the process & cast #nonpartisan federal monitors as from the #Biden admin who cannot be trusted. #Republican *leaders* in #Missouri & #Florida, which flatly banned federal monitors in the 2022 midterm elections, said in recent interviews that their positions have not changed & that #DOJ ofcls likely would be rebuffed again if they request access to voting locations for Tues’s presidential #election.
The #US govt has regularly dispatched hundreds of monitors to voting locations…, aiming to protect ballot access, discourage improper #partisan#influence & act as a moderating force on political campaigns. While the #DOJ has the #legal right to request access to polling sites, inflamed partisanship & ideological #extremism has contributed to greater resistance to such activities in some #GOP-controlled states…. #law#ElectionLaw#Election2024#Republican#illiberalism#Vote#HarrisWalz2024
Here in #RochesterNY suffragist Susan B. Anthony’s home / museum is a polling place, and they place a transparent cover over her grave so people can place their “I voted” stickers in her honor.
Choosing her opposition, any of them — or opting out of the process altogether — will plunge this country into a dark and painful abyss fraught with revenge, anger, and violence. There is no issue on which Trump will be better.
And as we can all agree, Trump has no intention of doing anything whatsoever to bring America toward any semblance of “greatness.” He's a destructive, dangerous man looking to stay out of prison and cash in on the ignorance of his acolytes.
MVP #KamalaHarris is making the “closing argument” for her presidential campaign Tuesday from the same site where #Trump incited his #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection.
#KamalaHarris’ closing argument event will be held at the #Ellipse, near the White House, in Washington, DC, the same spot where #Trump held his *Stop the Steal* rally, inciting a crowd of thousands to violently invade the Capitol to try to halt the #certification of Democrat Joe #Biden's victory.
The location of #KamalaHarris’ event will be a stark display of the alternate futures that voters face if she or #Trump takes over the #US presidency in just 3 months.
“It’s a place that … helps crystalize the choice in this #election,” said #Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon.
