Gov. Moore: "We will enforce the law" if federal agents show up at polls
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs had to publicly promise he wouldn't violate the Constitution. Governor Wes Moore says that fact alone should tell you everything.
In this seven-minute exchange from Deseret Voices, Moore walks through what he's preparing for ahead of November — and reveals that Republican governors are coming to him with the same concerns about federal overreach into state-run elections. McKay Coppins presses him on where the line is between legitimate federal enforcement and illegitimate interference, and Moore makes an argument you'd expect to hear from the Tea Party, not a Democratic governor: voting is a state function protected by the Bill of Rights, and the founders put it there because they feared exactly this.
The conversation builds to one of the most direct moments in the full interview. When Coppins asks point-blank what Moore would do if federal agents showed up at Maryland polling places, Moore answers in five words — and then repeats them.
