The Trump Justice Department is preparing to flood polling places across America with a record 1,000 federal monitors for the November midterm elections, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon announced this week.
Dhillon told Bloomberg the deployment will be “probably going to be a historic number for a Republican administration.”
The Civil Rights Division has long sent monitors to ensure compliance with federal voting laws, but the scale under President Trump’s second term marks a sharp escalation in the fight for clean elections.
“We just did it in the primary. We will do it to the tune of approximately 1,000 election monitors in the November election. This is something that DOJ does,” Dhillon said during a Monday interview on Bloomberg’s Balance of Power, according to Bloomberg Law.
The monitors will observe whether elections are conducted fairly, looking at language access issues, disability access barriers, and places “where there may be voter fraud issues.”

They will not intervene on Election Day but can support follow-up investigations. They operate under the same rules as other election monitors under state law.
To hit the 1,000 mark, the department is recruiting volunteers from DOJ employees and U.S. Attorney’s Offices nationwide. A full list of locations is expected after the primaries wrap up.
On Tuesday, the DOJ already had monitors on the ground for primaries in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and Laramie County, Wyoming.
The department has already deployed more than 75 monitors across five states and over 200 polling locations this primary season, according to the press release.
Dhillon has also said the department will consider jurisdictions with suspected fraud problems or officials who fail to maintain accurate voter rolls. The final list of locations for the November deployment has not yet been released.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported on July 8, Dhillon announced that the DOJ would send monitors to 15 jurisdictions in Arizona, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Virginia during the primaries. At the time, she told Americans to expect an even larger program for the general election.
That report followed earlier Gateway Pundit coverage revealing plans to monitor voting in Detroit, Lansing, and East Lansing, Michigan.
TGP also covered the Biden DOJ’s 2024 monitoring operation, when federal personnel were assigned to 86 jurisdictions in 27 states. The Justice Department’s archived announcement confirms those figures.

Hmm. How many of those can he trust?
A judge will deny them.
Hard to say, but if there’s anyone at Justice deserving of trust, it’s Harmeet.
Have ICE Agents there as well.
It’s one thing to have observers. But observers will be useless if there are not federal law enforcement officers on the site to remove and or arrest those obstructing or manipulating votes.
Some are worried about the Polls. AUGUST POLLS ARE TRASH. No one is paying attention. Americans are on vacation and tuned out.
Hmm. How many of those can he trust?
*****************
Not many is my guess, but any oversight on the amount of democrat corruption in this country is definitely warranted.
Should of been done by the 1970’s & 1980’s. Definitely should’ve been done post 1994 at the latest.
As one pundit used to say, Americans don’t pay attention to politics until after the World Series.
I don’t know if that is still a valid statement..............
That’s a great idea. More than one would be even more effective.
Mid September
Ooh are they all prepared to spread rumors about potential strongly worded letters?
“Hard to say, but if there’s anyone at Justice deserving of trust, it’s Harmeet.” I agree completely. She’s been terrific.
HUZZAH!
Now let the Democrat bastards try to cheat American citizens!
I hope they have something in place to monitor the mail-in ballots.
Dhillon has also said the department will consider jurisdictions with suspected fraud problems or officials who fail to maintain accurate voter rolls. The final list of locations for the November deployment has not yet been released.
Another small step that helps. small things add up.
Zec 4:10 Do not despise these small beginnings, ...............
I'm willing to bet that nobody under 60 cares a bit about the world series.
Covid gave us the f’n mail in. The rats tried for years to get that crap in and now we are stuck with it. It is a license to steal.
