Department of Justice officials want to monitor Cole County’s polling places Tuesday. But the County Clerk says ‘no’. A Team from DOJ informed Clerk Steve Korsmeyer of their intentions to sit in at polling places. Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft agrees with Korsmeyer, saying it would be highly inappropriate for federal agents to intimidate Missouri voters.
They are not going to stay at the polling place. They are going to stop by polling places. Not out of line considering the intimidation that has gone on at polling sites around the country.
