DeSantis official says Justice Dept. can’t send monitors to 3 Florida counties

The DeSantis administration is attempting to block Department of Justice election monitors from gaining access to polling places in South Florida, saying in a letter that the federal government’s involvement would be “counterproductive” and in violation of state law.

On Monday, the Justice Department announced that it would send federal monitors to 64 jurisdictions nationwide to monitor how elections are being conducted. Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties were all slated to receive federal monitors from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.

But Brad McVay, the chief counsel for the Florida Department of State, said in a letter issued late Monday that those monitors would not be allowed inside polling places under Florida law.

McVay said the Florida Secretary of State’s office — which Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis oversees — would instead send its own monitors to those three counties, which are among the most Democratic-leaning counties in Florida.

Missouri is blocking the DoJ monitors.

And DoJ backed off, which is just objectivley wrong, and I hope someone in the Missouri Sec State/State AG offices gets held accountable after the fact. Do these phucking people even know they lost an actual war over this State's Rights bullshit?

If only they could consult the county shurf -- the HIGHEST LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL IN THE LAND -- about this.

No, for them, it didn't end, it just went from a hot war to a cold war.

It wasn't about States Rights. Dredd Scott V Sandford ran a coach and horse through states rights and they didn't care.

But ya the DOJ needs to stand up and put manners on these tin pot dictators, especially when it comes to elections.

That looks nothing like DeSantis, IMHO.

And it's not exactly what you might call an incriminating photo anyway. Am I supposed to vote against him because girls liked him in boarding school? :think:

I have better reasons not to vote for him. :oldman:

Oh, I get it. If that's a beer, he was illegally drinking with underage girls, maybe(?)

But the girls don't look underage (yes, looks are deceiving) and it doesn't look like him.

I must be missing something still.

This photo is a warning shot (IMO) that there are photos to be concerned about.
That the pics used for the warning shot are from college years, might indicate the “bad” ones are from that time period as well.

Or not.
But, this is weak sauce…

In text messages, coordinators of Ron DeSantis’ migrant flights to Martha’s Vineyard reveled in plotting surprise political stunt

The text messages were punctuated with exclamation points, thumbs-up emojis, and smiley faces. “Yahtzee!” crowed one missive, after a key goal was attained.
Weeks before 49 migrants were flown to Martha’s Vineyard in a surprise event that thrust Massachusetts into the national spotlight, Florida officials and executives with a Florida-based plane company were on the ground in Texas gleefully exchanging plans to send unassuming migrants to blue states, according to documents obtained by the Globe.
Beyond emojis, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ public safety czar Larry Keefe and others made plans to celebrate their work with “some wine at dinner,” according to the documents, released this week as part of a public records request

I mean, in fairness, Trump wouldn't have to try to hard to find DeSantis oppo. It's just that, as with Trump himself, the folks that need to be convinced won't really be convinced by the kind of oppo one finds. The above story being case in point.

A Midwest charter flight company quoted a price of $153,000 to fly roughly 50 migrants from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard as part of the now-infamous migrant relocation carried out by the state of Florida in September. And yet, Florida has paid more than $1.56 million to an in-state aviation company overseeing the job, raising the question of what happened to the remaining money.

Kidnapgate : DeSantis :: Bridgegate : Christie.

Short-sighted political stunt that will ultimately undermine any national political ambitions.

DeSantis is going to wind up as Chief KFC Doordasher for Trump & Co.

no, I think the takeaway is he paid 10 times as much as another company (that wasn't run by donors to his campaign) wanted to charge.
