The Federalist inquired with other Republican-led states whether they would take a similar stance should the DOJ make the same requests - but not all appeared willing to stand up to Biden's weaponized agency.
Several Florida counties were included in the DOJ's list, but Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis refused DOJ election monitors to enter polling sites in South Florida, arguing DOJ's involvement would be "Counterproductive" and "Potentially undermine confidence in the election."
Ahead of November, The Federalist inquired with states that have a Republican governor whether they would take a similar stance should the DOJ request to place poll monitors in election sites.
Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen told The Federalist DOJ election monitors are not included in state laws' "Exhaustive list of the persons who are allowed within 30 feet of a polling precinct."
"The United States Constitution delegates to the states the roles and responsibilities surrounding election administration. This office and our local election officials are well equipped to ensure that Alabama elections are fair, secure, and transparent without unconstitutional supervision by the federal government."
Communications Director Alexa Henning for Arkansas Gov. Sarah Sanders told The Federalist that "Governor Sanders will not permit the Biden DOJ to improperly intimidate or unduly influence Arkansans inside our state's polling locations."
"The Mississippi Secretary of State's Office stands by its previous communications to the DOJ that state law prevents any person other than an election official, credentialed poll observer as defined by Miss. Code Ann. Section 23-15-577, or a person casting their ballot from being within 30 feet of a polling place."
