The DOJ is sending personnel to 86 areas in 27 states, including Broward, Miami-Dade, Orange and Osceola counties in Florida, to ensure compliance with civil rights laws.

Reminder: Federal laws, such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965, give the federal government a mandate to intervene if there are concerns about discriminatory practices or the suppression of voters' rights. This law, along with others like the Help America Vote Act, allows the Department of Justice to investigate and, if necessary, take legal action to prevent states or local governments from violating federal voting rights protections. In cases where there is suspicion of racial discrimination, language barriers, or obstacles for disabled voters, the federal government has the authority to step in to ensure that these voters are not disenfranchised.

What I said had nothing to do with words like investigating or legal action. What I said was "a mandate to intervene".

They aren't needed inside. As long as they keep the stupid rednecks outside from harassing voters that are attempting to access the polling site. If there is a problem inside, the voter can simply notify the DOJ inspectors.
