But #Trump & many of his backers have long believed the #ConspiracyTheories that a "deep state" of Washington bureaucrats was undercutting his agenda.

‼️ The chief of the #DOJ’s #PublicIntegrity section, Corey Amundson, is also being removed from his post, acc/to people familiar….

#Republican *leaders* in #Missouri & #Florida, which flatly banned federal monitors in the 2022 midterm elections, said in recent interviews that their positions have not changed & that #DOJ ofcls likely would be rebuffed again if they request access to voting locations for Tues’s presidential #election.

In the 20 other states, the contests are #nonpartisan — the judges have no official party affiliation (although judges who are technically nonpartisan are sometimes strongly associated with one side or the other)."
