16 prosecutors tell Barr there’s no evidence of election fraud Published Sat, Nov 14 20204:17 AM ESTUpdated Sat, Nov 14 20209:26 AM EST Phil Helsel Key Points There is no evidence of voter fraud or other irregularities that could substantially impact the election, 16 federal prosecutors charged with investigating election crimes have said in a letter to Attorney General William Barr, NBC News reported early Saturday. There is no evidence of voter fraud or other irregularities that could substantially impact the election, 16 federal prosecutors charged with investigating election crimes have said in a letter to Attorney General William Barr, NBC News reported early Saturday. The assistant U.S. attorneys who are District Election Officers also urged Barr to rescind a controversial memo issued Monday that authorized prosecutors “to pursue substantial allegations of voting and vote tabulation irregularities prior to the certification of elections.” That is a change from a Justice Department policy. They wrote in the letter that the policy change “was not based in fact”; that in their jurisdictions there is no evidence of substantial allegations; and that their understanding is that a Justice Department section in charge of national oversight of election fraud hasn’t seen any such evidence, either. “The timing of the announcement inserts all of us into a partisan political debate,” the assistant U.S. attorneys wrote. They said the policy change “has and will engender speculation that it was motivated by partisan political concerns.” The head of the Justice Department’s Election Crimes Branch has resigned that position to protest the Barr memo. The letter from the assistant U.S. attorneys was reported earlier Friday by The Washington Post. cnbc.com

You are demonstrating another characteristic in our DNA, identifying with and supporting one's tribe. Very natural. However, by the nature of their work healthcare workers are at higher risk for illness, especially during a pandemic. Are you suggesting that everything should shut down so that healthcare workers don't get Covid? "Thanks for all your 'help', I'll pass" Let me put it another way. I don't need YOUR "help". I am perfectly capable of looking for ways to stay healthy and up my immune system to fight illness in general and Covid in particular. I have in fact been taking supplements and other actions to do so. I go out in public so I wear a mask and practice "social distancing" insofar as possible, wash hands or wear gloves if necessary. Otherwise I can't work or go into stores. If I do get sick I will go to a doctor. Probably a local clinic, since I haven't seen a doctor for years.
