The Justice Department begins notifying counties where it wants to monitor elections

The Department of Justice this week began notifying the counties it wants to monitor on Election Day, NPR has learned. Counties in Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Texas and Washington have received notifications from the Justice Department so far, but the list seems to be growing in real time. The department has long deployed monitors to ensure compliance with voting laws, but the Trump administration’s unprecedented steps to try to wrestle control over elections from local and state governments have led to new concerns about DOJ monitoring this year.  Miles Parks, NPR.
