Eric Holder’s DOJ to Monitor Tuesday’s Nebraska Republican Primary

Eric Holder’s Department of (in)Justice will be monitoring two counties during today’s Nebraska Republican primary—where Tea Party-backed Ben Sasse, former State Treasurer Shane Osborn, and Omaha banker Sid Dinsdale are locked in a three-way race—looking for any hint of civil rights violations. Representatives from the DOJ will be snooping around, looking for voter suppression or voter intimidation, you know, just like it did when No One Was Prosecuted in Pennsylvania following the election of Barack Obama in 2008.

And again in this impartial polling station in Philadelphia in 2012:

Voters were reportedly told to "Vote for Obama" in many polling places in 2012.

It took a court order to compel poll workers to cover the mural, and even then most of Barry O. and his Hopey Changey mantra were still visible to every voter entering the polling station. Not to worry, though, Eric Holder’s poll minions monitors are here to protect us from intimidation and improper electioneering this go ’round.

“‘The Justice Department announced today that it will monitor elections on May 13, 2014, in Colfax and Douglas Counties, Nebraska, to ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act and other federal voting rights statutes. The Voting Rights Act prohibits discrimination in the election process on the basis of race, color or membership in a minority language group,’ according to DOJ.

‘In Colfax County, the department will assign federal observers from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to monitor polling place activities based on a court order. The observers will watch and record activities during voting hours at polling locations in this jurisdiction, and Civil Rights Division attorneys will coordinate the federal activities and maintain contact with local election officials,’ DOJ stated. ‘In addition, department personnel will monitor polling place activities in Douglas County. A Civil Rights Division attorney will coordinate federal activities and maintain contact with local election officials.'”
