Federal election monitoring is long standing, run under both parties, and exists to enforce federal voting law. What we track here is scale and direction. By its last primary stop on September 9, DOJ said it had monitored polling sites in eleven states and hundreds of locations this primary season, against nine states in the 2022 midterms. DOJ says it will continue through the general but has not named November 3 jurisdictions. Context: the same division is suing 24 states over voter rolls, and CBS reported in March that the White House weighed defunding the civil rights observer program.
