The Justice Department plans to deploy roughly 1,000 election monitors for the November midterms, which would exceed the 289 personnel sent in 2022 and 714 deployed during the 2024 presidential election. The department says the longstanding monitoring program is intended to enforce federal voting laws, while CBS News reports that more than 70% of the Civil Rights Division’s career staff has departed and that DOJ is recruiting volunteers from elsewhere in the federal government to reach the new target. Questions about personnel have also emerged after Democracy Docket identified a Florida lawyer who pleaded guilty in 2016 to illegally accessing election websites alongside DOJ officials during Minnesota’s primary monitoring operation, although the outlet said it could not independently confirm his formal role.
