flag Federal election monitors deployed to 6 counties amid partisan tensions over voting procedures.

flag The Justice Department has deployed federal election monitors to five California counties and Passaic County, New Jersey, ahead of non-federal elections, citing concerns over ballot handling and compliance with voting laws. flag The move, requested by local Republican parties, marks a shift from the Civil Rights Division’s traditional focus on anti-discrimination enforcement. flag While the DOJ says monitors only observe and do not interfere, critics, including California’s governor and attorney general, warn the deployment may be politically motivated and aimed at fueling distrust in mail-in voting and election results. flag Some officials express concern over potential voter intimidation, though the department insists the presence is routine and consistent with past practices. flag The effort has sparked debate over the politicization of federal election oversight, particularly amid broader efforts to influence congressional redistricting.
