FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SC (WIS) - Tuesday's primary election has also caught the interest of the Department of Justice and their Civil Rights Division, who had representatives in Fairfield County to make sure the county is following the federal Voting Rights Act.
The act ensures no one is discriminated against at the polls based on race, color, or the language they speak.
Fairfield County elections director Debby Stidham didn't know what to think when she got a visit from two Justice Department workers on Monday. The elections she's led have never had a problem.
"They said it's just routine, that every so often they will choose a couple of counties and they just go in and just simply do that -- observe, so that's what they're here for and we welcome them with open arms," Stidham said.
Two Justice Department workers watched voters at the Blair Volunteer Fire Station and both said they were monitoring things.
One unidentified DOJ staffer pulled voter Hannie Hall over to the side and spoke with her for several minutes.
"She just asked me did I understand what I'm doing, did I understand who I was voting for. She understood to hear them say I couldn't read too good, but I still knew who I wanted to vote for," Hall said.

I sure hope someone is watching and videoing the DOJ as they have proven to be an enemy of ALL of us.
Their every move needs to be captured on video. These a vermin bent on contaminating the electoral process to assure a Marxist win.
Here they are.
If the DOJ is there, they’re there to cheat.
They pulled a voter over to talk to them? That could sure be construed as intimidation or interference. I wonder how they would respond to a voter who told them to get lost?
What do we need a civil rights division in the DOJ for. This so called CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION is a complete fraud and joke. They backed the BLACK PANTHERS intimidation tactics of whites trying to exercise their right to vote. What are their motives in South Carolina. I know, to MAKE SURE EVERY ILLEGAL VOTES DEMOCRAT. Those in the DOJ involved in this division should START PACKING YOUR BACKS because we are booting your commie rear ends all the way to cuba in the next elections. And take WITHHOLDER and OBAMA with you.
LLS
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
If those black spanker punks were at my polling place, I’d laugh at them as I walked by.
The DOJ has a prima facie case that something went wrong in how the election was conducted, because Obama did not get 100% of the vote.
