Feds Crack Down on Election Interference in Kansas City, MO

Kansas City, MO – In a bid to ensure the integrity of the upcoming November 5, 2024, general election, United States Attorney Teresa Moore has appointed Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) Nicholas Heberle as the District Election Officer (DEO) for the Western District of Missouri.

AUSA Heberle will lead the efforts of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in connection with the Justice Department’s nationwide Election Day Program. In his new role, he will oversee the District’s handling of election day complaints of voting rights concerns, threats of violence to election officials or staff, and election fraud.

According to U.S. Attorney Moore, ‘Every citizen must be able to vote without interference or discrimination and to have that vote counted in a fair and free election.’ The U.S. Attorney emphasized that election officials and staff must be able to serve without being subject to unlawful threats of violence.

The Justice Department has an important role in deterring and combatting discrimination and intimidation at the polls, threats of violence directed at election officials and poll workers, and election fraud. The Election Day Program seeks to ensure public confidence in the electoral process by providing local points of contact within the Justice Department for the public to report possible federal election law violations.

Federal law protects against crimes such as threatening violence against election officials or staff, intimidating or bribing voters, buying and selling votes, impersonating voters, altering vote tallies, stuffing ballot boxes, and marking ballots for voters against their wishes or without their input.

Those who have specific information about voting rights concerns or election fraud can make that information available to the U.S. Attorney’s Office by calling (816) 426-4233 or reaching out to the local FBI field office at (816) 512-8200. Complaints can also be made directly to the Civil Rights Division in Washington, DC, by complaint form at https://civilrights.justice.gov/ or by phone at 800-253-3931.

Please note that in the case of a crime of violence or intimidation, please call 911 immediately.
