DOJ Election Monitors Stay Outside Polls | Texas News

The Department of Justice deployed 20 federal election monitors to Minnesota’s Hennepin and Ramsey counties to ensure transparency and compliance with federal law—but local officials refused entry, citing state law requiring permission for observers inside polling places. The monitors will remain outside the 100-foot polling boundary while state and attorney general offices closely watch to safeguard voting rights and prevent intimidation. Voters can choose whether to participate in voluntary post-election interviews with monitors, and county attorneys vow to prosecute any threats to election workers or voters. No major issues are expected, as these monitors have a track record of peaceful observation in prior elections. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
