[Guno צְבִי]

Texas’ top elections official told the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday its election monitors aren’t permitted in the state's polling places after the federal agency announced plans to dispatch monitors to eight counties on Election Day to ensure compliance with federal voting rights laws.

The Justice Department regularly sends monitors across the country to keep an eye out for potential voting rights violations during major elections. The agency said monitors would be on the ground in 86 jurisdictions in 27 states. The Texas counties are Atascosa, Bexar, Dallas, Frio, Harris, Hays, Palo Pinto and Waller counties.

The Texas Election Code lists who is authorized to be inside a polling place, and does not include federal election monitors. Election monitors are still allowed outside polling places.

I personally am not happy with all this shit BUT it is CONSTITUTIONAL
Seeing by the CONSTITUTION it is all up to the states legislature on how they want to appoint their reps. to the EC.
and IF the state legislature decides NOT to have elections and just appoints them the way they see fit it is all CONSTITUTIONAL but I don't think they would do that because they wouldn't have a job for long.
