Process after DOJ receives allegation of election fraud:

Upon receipt of an election fraud allegation, a United States

Attorney’s Office may, if the Office considers it warranted, request the

FBIto conduct a preliminary inquiry in the form of an “assessment.”37 Consultation with the Public Integrity Section is not required at this

initial stage, although it is always welcome.

In practice, consultation typically proceeds as follows:

• The results of the preliminary investigation are submitted

to FBI Headquarters and the Public Integrity Section,

together with the recommendation of the United States

Attorney’s Office as to whether further investigation is

warranted. At this point, if the matter has merit, it is

discussed informally between the Section and the

Assistant United States Attorney responsible for the

matter, and, on occasion, between the Section and the FBI.

• The Public Integrity Section may suggest that additional

investigation be conducted before determining whether a

full-field or grand jury investigation is warranted. The

Section may also request a preliminary investigation of a

• The Public Integrity Section may suggest that additional

investigation be conducted before determining whether a

full-field or grand jury investigation is warranted. The

Section may also request a preliminary investigation of a

matter that has been declined by a United States Attorney’s

Office.

• If the Public Integrity Section agrees that a full-field

investigation and/or grand jury investigation of an

election fraud allegation is warranted, a communication,

in the form of an e-mail confirming this determination, is

generally sent by the Section to the Assistant United

States Attorney. At this stage, the Public IntegritySection

also notifies FBI Headquarters that it has approved the

initiation of a full-field or grand jury investigation of the

matter. There is usually a discussion at this point of

whether the United States Attorney’s Office is able to

make a commitment to prosecute any case that the

investigation maygenerate, and, if not, whether the Public

Integrity Section will handle the matter either jointly with

the United States Attorney’s Office or by itself.

• The initiation of any grand jury process in the matter,

including the issuance of subpoenas for election

documentation, requires prior consultation with the

Public Integrity Section. This consultation is often done

by phone, especially if speed is considered necessary to

preserve voting documentation. As a rule, the Public

IntegritySection will approve use of a grand jury at the time

it approves a full-field investigation.

• Once this consultation has occurred, the United States

Attorney’s Office investigates the matter as it deems

appropriate. While further consultation is notrequired until

the charging stage, the Section welcomes questions and

consultations regarding ongoing investigations.

• All indictments charging election fraud must be discussed

with the Public Integrity Section before submission to the

grand jury, as well as all information and criminal

complaints.

• While acceptance of a plea agreement does not require

consultation, this is encouraged in order to ensure that the

plea agreement is consistent with those negotiated in

similar cases elsewhere and with other department policies

applicable with plea agreements. In addition, it is

recommended that the Section be consulted in the case of

pre-indictment pleas, although not required.

I think election officials are already guilty of destroying election materials because there is no longer any way to do handwriting analysis since signatures were removed from ballots…

Here's what DOJ says about it:

Federal Seizure of State Election Materials

Federal custody of election materials is normally obtained by

grand jury subpoena. In taking custody of election documents,

election officials should not be deprived of documents necessary to

tally and recount the ballots and to certify the election results.39

Accordingly, copies in lieu of originals should be accepted until the

state’s need for the documentation expires. Originals may eventually

be necessary for handwriting and other forensic analysis and for

evidentiary purposes.

39 An exception to this rule might be warranted if the facts indicate that the

election officials are involved in an ongoing election fraud or obstruction scheme.
