Rule Changes

Hennepin County denied DOJ requests for polling-place access on Nov. 3; the state had said it would coordinate with the attorney general to shadow federal monitors.

The Justice Department deployed about 1,000 election monitors to more than 120 jurisdictions in all 50 states on Nov. 3, the largest monitoring effort in its history. The list included New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit and several New Jersey counties, and it was the first time the department sent observers to every state. A Washington Post analysis found nearly two-thirds of the selected jurisdictions have consistently voted Democratic.
