The Justice Department will monitor polling stations in six counties in California and New Jersey ahead of the November 4 general election, saying it’s a routine move aimed at ensuring transparency and ballot security. Federal observers will be present until Election Day in these areas, including Passaic County in New Jersey and Kern, Riverside, Fresno, Orange, and Los Angeles counties in California. The department says this is part of its efforts to safeguard elections through transparent processes. However, some Democrats have questioned the motives behind the move, suggesting it may aim to suppress votes or disrupt voting at polling stations.
