UPDATE:
The U.S. Department of Justice agreed last night not to enter Texas polling and central count locations or otherwise interfere with the administration of Texas elections just hours after Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the DOJ over its announcement that it would send federal agents to “monitor” Texas elections.
On November 1, just four days before Election Day, DOJ announced that it would deploy federal election “monitors” to eight Texas counties, including Atascosa, Bexar, Dallas, Frio, Harris, Hays, Palo Pinto, and Waller. The Texas Secretary of State immediately notified DOJ that Texas law does not permit federal “monitors” inside a polling place or central counting station.
On November 4, Attorney General Paxton sued DOJ and federal officials, noting no federal statute authorizes the Biden-Harris Administration to dispatch federal agents to “monitor” State elections when they are prohibited by State laws.
Following Attorney General Paxton’s lawsuit and request for a temporary restraining order, DOJ reversed course and agreed to abide by Texas election law.
Per the agreement, all DOJ “monitors” will remain outside of polling and central count locations, abide by Texas laws governing conduct within 100 feet of those locations, and refrain from interfering with any voters attempting to cast ballots.
Further, a federal judge ordered the Biden-Harris Administration to confirm that no “monitors” will be present at Texas polling locations or enter tabulation centers in violation of Texas law.
Election administrators and members of the public should immediately report any violations of this agreement to appropriate local election officials and to the Office of the Attorney General at illegalvoting@oag.texas.gov. Texas’s lawsuit against the DOJ will remain pending until the conclusion of the election to ensure DOJ’s compliance.
“Texans run Texas elections, and we will not be bullied by the Department of Justice,” said Attorney General Paxton. “The DOJ knows it has no authority to monitor Texas elections and backed down when Texas stood up for the rule of law. No federal agent will be permitted to interfere with Texas’s free and fair elections.”
Original Article:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the Biden-Harris Administration and the U.S. Department of Justice for dispatching federal agents to “monitor” Texas elections without any legal authority and in violation of State law.
On November 1, just four days before Election Day, DOJ announced that it would specifically target polling locations and central count locations in eight Texas counties, including Atascosa, Bexar, Dallas, Frio, Harris, Hays, Palo Pinto, and Waller.
However, no federal statute authorizes the Biden-Harris Administration to dispatch federal agents to “monitor” State elections when they are prohibited by State laws.
Following DOJ’s announcement, the Texas Secretary of State issued a letter saying, “Texas law is clear: Justice Department monitors are not permitted inside a polling place where ballots are being cast or a central counting station where ballots are being counted. As to the polling place, Section 61.001 of the Texas Election Code identifies those persons who may be lawfully present on election day; federal inspectors are not included in the enumerated list.… Nor are federal inspectors specified in the list of persons permitted in the central counting station while ballots are being counted.”
Now, Attorney General Paxton has sued DOJ for unlawfully sending federal agents to State polling and counting locations.
“The Biden-Harris Administration’s lawless intimidation campaign infringes on States’ constitutional authority to run free and fair elections,” said Attorney General Paxton. “Texas will not be intimidated and I will make every effort to prevent weaponized federal agencies from interfering in our elections.”

That is rich considering Garland is from Chicago. Chicago is the worst place for voter fraud in the country. It is like the owner of the largest pig 🐽 farm in the world constantly complaining about the smell of his neighbor’s farm who only has one horse 🐴.
