US EditionDOJ Announces Election Monitors Are Coming to 5 California Counties
Federal election monitors are deployed in five California counties and New Jersey following a GOP request amid early voting on a redistricting measure, sparking claims of voter intimidation.
- Last week, the Justice Department announced it would send Civil Rights Division personnel to Fresno, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties, California, and New Jersey as early in-person voting begins this weekend.
- The deployment follows a request from the California Republican Party and reports say Harmeet Dhillon, head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, asked the White House to deploy monitors.
- New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin called the move `highly inappropriate`, and Dhillon mocked Newsom with `Lol calm down bro` on X, as critics condemned the deployment.
- California will send election observers to counter federal monitors, and Rob Bonta said Monday they are not allowed to interfere unlawfully, alleging federal monitoring signals intent to challenge elections.
- California voters are casting ballots on Proposition 50, which could net Democrats five more House seats and serve as a national redistricting blueprint, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said last week.
