Attorney General Barr Demands A Federal Investigation Into Election Fraud


Even though there has been no substantial evidence of fraud federal officers were given the go-ahead on Monday to investigate "substantial allegations" of voting irregularities before this year's presidential election is certified next month.

Attorney General William Barr insisted that the allegations "should be handled with great care" and that "specious, speculative, fanciful or far-fetched claims should not be a basis for initiating federal inquiries."

Barr's actions allow prosecutors to work around the longstanding Department of Justice policy that normally prohibits these actions before the election is formally certified.

He stressed that giving his content to federal prosecutors to pursue "substantial allegations" should in no way indicate that the DOJ has "concluded that voting irregularities have impacted the outcome of any election." Barr pointed out that an investigation could be conducted if there are legitimate allegations of irregularities that could change the outcome of a federal election in an individual state.

The Attorney General wrote, "Any investigation of claims of irregularities that, if true, would clearly not impact the outcome of a federal election in an individual State should normally be deferred until after the election certification process is completed."

An official from the Department of Justice said that President Trump, lawmakers, or anyone from the White House asked Barr for this authorization.

Barr's decision came just days after Fox News declared Democrat Joe Biden the projected winner of the 2020 presidential election by gaining the necessary number of required electoral votes. Trump is refusing to give up and is accusing the Democrats of staging a country-wide conspiracy to boost the number of votes for Biden enough for him to claim the victory.

Days after the night of the election Biden took the lead in multiple battleground states but there has yet to be any indication of enough illegally casts votes that would affect the outcome.

Election officials from both parties report that the election went relatively well, with just a few minor issues that are typical for any election.

Each state has until December 8 to resolve any election disputes such as recounts or court contests. The Electoral College will meet on December 14 to finalize the outcome as scheduled.
