Election.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Federal election monitors are not unusual.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/archives\/opa\/pr\/justice-department-monitor-polls-27-states-compliance-federal-voting-rights-laws\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Department of Justice regularly sends staff to observe elections in Michigan and other states, often to monitor compliance with federal voting rights and civil rights laws.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is unusual in this case is that the DOJ\u2019s letters included allegations about election administration in the three cities and requests for election-related materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a

They are also continuing to educate voters about their rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal monitors may observe election procedures in compliance with the law.
