During the primary season, we saw monitors deployed with no notice to the public or jurisdiction, and no clear evidence that they were there for a legitimate civil rights purpose,
There is no indication about the limits of this monitoring operation or the restraints that will be imposed on anyone who may be deployed,
To be clear, there is no federal statute that gives the US Department of Justice [DoJ] the right to send their so-called ‘election monitors’ to polling sites across the country, and this administration has made clear its intent to disrupt and interfere with the way elections are run in our country,
As a nation, we have no need for armed presence at polling locations — our elections are safe and transparent, which has been the hallmark of our democracy,
Turning the fundamental right of exercising our vote into a high-stakes encounter with the militarized strong arm of the current administration isn’t protection and it isn’t oversight; it’s disenfranchisement, period,
Our investigation will be victim-focused, community-based and sensitive to the ongoing pain felt by Nolan Wells' family and his community,... Drawing on the Association's long history of pushing for full and fair investigations when Black lives are lost under suspicious circumstances, we will bring additional investigative and legal resources to bear and ensure that no stone is left unturned in the quest for truth and accountability for Nolan's family."
