DOJ to monitor Pennsylvania primaries.»

Justice Department officials will be monitoring today’s primary elections in Philadelphia “to ensure compliance with federal voting rights laws.” According to a DOJ press release, the monitoring arises from “a settlement agreement with Philadelphia related to allegations that the city had violated the Voting Rights Act, the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), and the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).” Pennsylvania election officials are expecting twice as many Democrats to vote in today’s contests as turned out for the 2004 primaries.

1. Does that mean that DoJ will personally try to change the count of the voter

machines, or just watch? Boy, am I getting cynical...

2. '...and we must limit the actual voter activity to more proportionately correspond to...

turnouts in previous years."

THIS DOJ is going to do what? Protect voting laws and voters' rights?

:rofl:

3. lol! Do we trust the same DOJ that withheld info regarding Lieberman's website until

almost 2 years after the election against Lamont, when they had the info days before the election?
