The Department of Justice is deploying a small army to watch the polls
Election season is heating up, and the Feds are planning a major presence to make sure everything stays strictly by the book.
The Department of Justice is gearing up to send roughly 1,000 poll monitors across the country this fall. Harmeet K. Dhillon, who runs the show at the Civil Rights Division, calls this a historic level of involvement for a Republican administration.
The monitors have already started popping up in primary races from Florida to Wyoming. While past appearances in cities like Detroit sparked some nervousness about federal overreach, officials claim they are just there to ensure things remain free, fair, and accessible. The agency is essentially treating the ballot box like a high-stakes crime scene that requires constant surveillance.
It is definitely one way to make sure nobody gets any funny ideas while waiting in line.
