The Department of Justice is deploying about 1,000 election monitors across all 50 states, marking the first time the department has extended its election monitoring operation to all states. The effort, coordinated by the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, will focus on compliance with federal voting rights laws, including protections against voter intimidation, discrimination, and barriers to voting for people with disabilities. The department is encouraging voters who experience potential violations of federal voting rights protections to report their concerns through its election hotline. This unprecedented effort comes after courts repeatedly rejected the DOJ's efforts to force states to restrict voting for alleged noncitizens.
