U.S. Midterm Elections》Thousands of election supervisors from the Department of Justice are stationed in 50 states, the largest scale in history

The U.S. midterm elections took place on the 3rd. The U.S. Department of Justice issued a statement on the 3rd that it would deploy 1,000 election monitors and observers to 50 states across the United States, calling this the largest election day monitoring operation in U.S. history. The Democratic Party criticized these election supervisors as potentially intimidating voters.

According to foreign media reports, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice said: "Electoral integrity has always been one of the highest priorities of this administration and this department." He also mentioned that the Department of Justice is deploying the "largest-scale operation in history" to improve election transparency in a "positive and non-discriminatory manner."

The Department of Justice said that about 1,000 monitors and observers will be at work on Election Day to confirm whether localities are complying with federal voting rights laws. Manpower for the operation will come from the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, local U.S. attorneys' offices, and federal observers from the Office of Personnel Management.

Democrats criticized the plan as a potential intimidation to voters. A Reuters analysis found that about two-thirds of the districts listed by the Department of Justice supported Democratic candidate Kamala Harris instead of Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

In response to external doubts, U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that the relevant actions of the Department of Justice were conducted in accordance with the law and were aimed at maintaining the integrity of election voting. Justice Department spokesperson Kiersten Pels said in a statement: "The Department of Justice is not helping any campaign, but is enforcing the law."
