DOJ deploys election monitors to seven Texas counties in historic voting oversight push
The largest DOJ monitoring effort in its history will watch for voter intimidation, accessibility problems and voting-law violations, officials said.
- The Justice Department deployed election monitors to seven Texas counties on Tuesday as part of its largest voting oversight operation in U.S. history. The deployment targets Bexar, Dallas, Harris, Waller, Blanco, Bowie, and Nueces counties.
- Across all 50 states, the DOJ initiative deploys roughly 1,000 personnel to ensure compliance with federal voting legislation. Monitors will evaluate adherence to the Voting Rights Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and National Voter Registration Act.
- "Election integrity has been one of the top priorities for this Administration," said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Civil Rights Division. Dhillon added the division is "pursuing transparency for elections in an assertive and nondiscriminatory manner."
- Voters experiencing accessibility issues or civil rights concerns can report potential violations to the Civil Rights Division. The division instructs the public to contact the election hotline or submit reports online.
- Justice Department personnel will remain in contact with state and local election administrators throughout Election Day. Reporting immediate threats, violence, or disruptions at polling locations to local emergency responders is essential.
