Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is in open revolt over a federal election-monitoring plan headed straight for his state. President Trump’s Justice Department is sending monitors into key jurisdictions for the 2026 primaries, and Walz is suddenly talking as if neutral eyes inside polling places are a threat to democracy.
