DOJ To Monitor Over Half Of All States on Election Day
Amid ramptant disinformation and seeds of doubt about the security of the 2024 election coming from the likes of Donald Trump and foreign malign influences before Election Day, the Justice Department on Friday announced that it will monitor the compliance of federal voting rights laws in 27 states.
On Nov. 5, monitors will be assigned to numerous locations around the nation. The observers will come from the Justice Department’s civil rights division, the U.S. attorney’s office and the Office of Personnel Management. The department says federal observers will be available “all day” to take questions from the public about any complaints they may have tied to possible violations of federal voting rights law.
The monitors will be in battleground states like Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Other states will be monitored too including Texas, Virginia, Ohio, Alaska, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, Rhode Island, South Carolina and South Dakota.
Justice Department officials encourage voters to report disruptions at their polling place to local officials first and then contact the Justice Department.
