VIRGINIA'S ATTORNEY GENERAL IS PREPARING FOR A SHOWDOWN WITH FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ON ELECTION DAY. The Virginia's Attorney General and Department of Elections issued a remarkable 10-page directive to election officials. Here's what they're being told: Pages 4–5: Local registrars can deny ordinary DOJ election monitors access to polling locations. Page 7: Election officials should ask federal agents to leave polling locations and contact local police. Page 7: Document federal agents' badge numbers, weapons, vehicles, and movements. Collect complaints from voters who say federal agents frighten them. Pages 8–9: Consult attorneys about challenging federal subpoenas seeking election materials. Page 3: And while all this is happening, Virginia has eliminated the ability to challenge a voter's qualifications at the polling place. Think about what we're witnessing. The Attorney General is preparing election officials to scrutinize federal law enforcement while Virginia has eliminated a longstanding Election Day safeguard for questioning voter eligibility. The bulletin identifies no specific planned unlawful federal operation in Virginia. Federal law enforcement has legitimate authority to enforce federal election laws. State officials cannot override that authority simply because they dislike federal involvement. So what exactly is the Attorney General afraid federal investigators might discover? And why is the Commonwealth treating federal election oversight as a threat rather than an opportunity to demonstrate election integrity? Read the document yourself: https://t.co/TvhiOEOtUe
