Kept federal monitors outside a 100-foot boundary at Louisville polls on Nov. 3; said about a dozen DOJ employees would serve as civil monitors, not law enforcement.

Federal election monitors worked Kentucky's Nov. 3 election from outside a 100-foot boundary at polling places in Louisville and Lexington, after local and state officials refused them entry. Jefferson County Clerk David Yates said about a dozen Justice Department employees were expected in Louisville as civil monitors, not law enforcement.
