“Senate Democrats plan to announce on Thursday that they will create a program to train congressional staff to serve as election observers, warning that President Trump may attempt to interfere with the results of the midterm elections,” the New York Times reports.
“Their initiative, which resembles a long-running program in the House of Representatives, aims to recruit Senate staff to serve as independent observers who can be sent to polling places on behalf of Congress to monitor voting procedures and ballot counting in states with Senate races.”
