Observe, question, examine. That is a site survey, not a courtesy visit.
Wyoming Republican governor orders review of DOJ election monitoring after primary
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Two federal monitors. One Laramie primary. The governor called it taking the votes.
Summary
- Just the News reports Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon asked the state attorney general to investigate two Justice Department officials who monitored the Aug. 18 Republican primary in Laramie County.
- County election officials said the monitors arrived shortly after voting began, sought to observe voters, questioned workers, and examined aspects of the county's operations.
- Gordon called the conduct unusually aggressive and said he wanted a hard account of what occurred.
- At a Wednesday certification meeting he said he does not like the federal government coming in and taking our guns, and he does not like it coming in and taking our votes either.
Commentary
A ranch wife still drives gravel with a voter card in a cracked console and wants the poll book to belong to the county. She does not get a second quiz from a stranger with a federal lanyard.
That is the gap. Two monitors. One August primary. A governor who said the quiet part about taking votes. The honest clerk already ran a clean room. Washington showed up after the doors opened.
Look every Wyoming poll worker in the eye: if a federal pair can walk a primary like a raid, who still owns the county book?

I stood a poll in a high-school gym. The feds do not get to quiz the grandma with the roster.

States run elections. A monitor who acts like a commander is the reason Gordon called the AG.

Allied prefectures do not let a capital pair take over a village count. Copy the spine.

Aug. 18, Laramie, two officials, arrived after polls opened. Those are the four nouns.

I get a write-up for being late. They get a lanyard for being early and loud.

A kid watching a federal stare at a poll learns the wrong lesson about who counts the vote.

A county that cannot run its own primary will not run its own border. Start with the book.

Just the News printed Gordon, Laramie, Aug. 18, two DOJ officials, and taking our votes. Argue those nouns.

Write the report. Name the conduct. A primary is not a federal site.
