Isn’t the “legal justification” they used not including ‘Federal officers’ on their list of ‘category of persons’ allowed to be present during voting?
So they intentionally passed an (illegal) law that forbids the DOJ from overseeing the election process because oopsey daisy we totally didn’t mean to write a law that breaks the law!
But if you could honor our intentionally broken law while we’re committing the specific crimes you are here to prevent, that’d be super lawful of you.
Ah I read the article now. Seems there may be actual legal justification in at least some cases.
