Mississippi – Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson has sent a letter of warning to President Biden’s Department Of Justice warning them that Executive Order No. 14019 issued on March 7, 2021 will put the electoral process in jeopardy.

In a letter to Attorney General, Merrick Garland, Michael Watson wrote that the Executive Order “which sought to turn the Department of Justice agencies from their historical missions of law enforcement to voter registration and get out the vote operations,” would undermine voter laws and regulations in the State of Mississippi.

“These efforts are an intrusion into state matters and are a misuse of federal revenue and resources. In addition, it appears that these efforts have led to agencies under your charge attempting to register people to vote, including potentially ineligible felons and to co-opt state and local officials into accomplishing this goal.”
