I am tempted to say… when you elect an inept mobster, this is the natural consequence. But GOP Gov. Gordon is right: this is both lawless — and Un-American.
Sure, Tangerine may have backed another primary candidate — but sending a DoJ goon squad in, to pester voters… is simply well beyond the pale. Here’s The New York Times‘ version of it all:
…Two election monitors from the Justice Department tried to interview voters and examine voting machines at polling places during Wyoming’s primaries last week, local officials said, drawing pushback from the state’s Republican governor.
The federal election monitors arrived at a polling site in Cheyenne, Wyoming’s capital and its largest city, without advance notice around 7 a.m. last Tuesday, said the Laramie County clerk, Debra Lee. They asked to interview voters and inspect the machines, but were denied, officials said.
“It was aggressive, unexpected, disruptive — certainly didn’t seem to show respect for the state,” Gov. Mark Gordon of Wyoming said in an interview on Thursday. “We’re going to get to the bottom of it as best we can.”
The Justice Department often monitors polling sites during elections. [Ed. Note: Based on three decades of my own in-person, in-polling-place experience — across both red and blue states and cities (at least five national election cycles) — almost always, the DoJ people sit silently, and try to be as unobtrusive as humanly possible. Not these jamokes, though last week — in Cheyenne.]
But the visits to Wyoming came amid President Trump’s ongoing fixation with finding evidence of fraud and vote tampering. Mr. Trump and his allies made fantastical claims that voting machines had switched votes for him to his opponent Joseph R. Biden Jr. in 2020, and he has tried and failed to find evidence of widespread fraud or vote tampering ever since….
What an entirely abberant time in America, indeed. We are led by… a straight-up felonious crook. Out.
