Trump DOJ will send federal monitors to Multnomah County on Election Day
Federal lawyers will observe ballot processing and vote counting, and the department plans to deploy 1,000 monitors nationwide, officials said.
- The U.S. Department of Justice notified local officials this week that election monitors will be deployed to jurisdictions in Washington, Oregon, and Maine for the November 3 midterms.
- Officials described the deployment as 'routine election monitoring the department has done for decades,' aimed at ensuring compliance with the Voting Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
- Monitors serve strictly as observers and are prohibited from interacting with voters, handling ballots, or interfering with election processes, according to department statements and state law.
- Local election commissioners are reviewing the federal presence to ensure adherence to state rules, with officials emphasizing that monitors must maintain at least 100 feet distance from polling locations.
- Harmeet Dhillon, head of the Civil Rights Division, characterized this as the 'largest monitoring effort' in the agency's history, with the department planning to deploy up to 1,000 observers nationwide on Election Day.
