CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hey hey hey.....easy there.
It's not evidence of fraud unless you have evidence of fraud.
I'm pretty sure that's the standard Democrats believe.
So unless there's some evidence of widespread, large scale fraud that could overturn an election....who cares?

I think you're going far afield of the original topic now. I'll leave you with your opinions.

Thank you, Atlantans, for dealing with all the hoops you need to jump through.

You still believe that there was actual voter restrictions?
The Democratic Party lied to you. That was shot down by a judge when Abrahms failed to find even 1 person unable to vote because of election laws. There never was any attempt to restrict the vote....
Clearly.

Why would DeSantis block federal election observers? Any insight? If not, you're welcome to move on.

Could it be related to the investigation into ballot tampering?
I'd rather not speculate and generate conspiracy theories. Was there any substance to this story? If we're not accusing him of anything then it's just a trite observation.

And again for 2024:
Judge denies Missouri’s effort to block federal election monitors
Republican state leaders sued to ban the Justice Department from sending monitors into St. Louis County polling sites Tuesday.In her nine-page ruling, Pitlyk cited a legal settlement between the Justice Department and the Board of Election Commissioners for the City of St. Louis signed in January 2021 under the Americans With Disabilities Act.
That agreement, which runs through July 11, 2025, outlines remedial steps that the elections board must take to improve ballot access for disabled people and stipulates that federal authorities be allowed to monitor the progress, including inside polling locations.
On Monday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) also filed suit against the Justice Department to block monitors from going to eight counties in that state.
Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd (R) said last week that his office would not permit monitors in four counties in that state.
Legal experts said the federal government lost significant legal recourse in 2013, when the Supreme Court struck down key provisions of the 1965 [Voting Rights] act.

When I lived in St Louis County, we were able to block concealed carry laws. I remember standing outside my son's high school with a sign.
So if the AG wants to block federal election officials in St. Louis County, it's most likely because of its voters' wise decisions.

I am glad they worked out an agreement in Texas. There is no problem as long as the DOJ doesn't interfere in the election process. Given that they colluded with social media the last election in deliberately misinforming the public, interference is a big concern for many. Hopefully none will try and sneak in.
"Last week, on Nov. 1, the Department of Justice said it would send monitors to eight Texas counties, including Harris County and Waller County, to monitor for compliance with federal civil rights laws. The announcement came after more than 60 Democratic leaders asked for them to come."
