Crime Boss Targets Mississippi’s Elections
Thank you, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Dimachkie.
It has been a long-standing priority of the Department to ensure that all qualified voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots and have their votes counted free of discrimination, intimidation, or criminal activity in the election process. The Department is also committed to ensuring that our elections are secure and free from foreign malign interference.
United States Attorney Todd Gee of the Southern District of Mississippi stated that the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, in partnership with U.S. Attorney’s Offices, is responsible for ensuring compliance with the civil provisions of federal statutes that protect the right to vote, and with federal criminal laws that prohibit discriminatory interference with that right.
The Justice Department’s hotline at 1-800-253-3931 and website at www.civilrights.justice.gov/ are available for individuals with complaints related to possible violations of federal voting laws. The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s offices have also partnered to respond to reports of federal election crimes.
Each U.S. Attorney’s office, including the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Mississippi, has designated an Assistant U.S. Attorney as the District Election Officer responsible for overseeing potential election-crime matters in their districts, and for coordinating with the Department’s election-crime experts at the Public Integrity Section in Washington, D.C.
The FBI has also designated a specially trained agent in each field office as an Election Crime Coordinator who will be on duty while polls are open to receive complaints from the public.
The Justice Department encourages anyone with information regarding concerns in these subject areas to contact the appropriate authorities.
