Justice Department sends election monitors to 28 states

Source: CNN

Washington (CNN)More than 500 Justice Department election monitors will be on the ground in 28 states on Election Day to help enforce of federal voting rights laws.

The department's civil rights division said Monday it's sending the poll monitors to 67 jurisdictions around the country.

But Tuesday's election is the first presidential election in more than 50 years without federal power to mandate observers inside polling stations.
...
The monitors being deployed this year can't enter polling places without the authorization from local election officials.
Vanita Gupta, the acting assistant attorney general for civil rights, says the monitors will be able to accomplish most of what was done by observers before the Supreme Court ruling.

"In most cases, voters on the ground will see very little practical difference between monitors and observers," Gupta said. "We work closely and cooperatively with jurisdictions around the country to ensure that trained personnel are able to keep an eye on the proceedings from an immediate vantage point."

Staffers from the Justice civil rights division will handle voting rights complaints by phone. Complaints about violence or intimidation are handled by local authorities, but complaints should also be called in to federal authorities after local officials are contacted. US attorneys offices and the FBI also are involved in helping to enforce federal voting laws.
