The U.S. Department of Justice announced Monday it will send election monitors to three Texas counties — Harris, Dallas and Waller — to keep an eye on local compliance with federal voting rights laws on Election Day.

Monitors from the Justice Department are regularly deployed across the country for major elections, with Texas counties making the list for at least the past decade under both Democratic and Republican administrations. The three Texas counties are among 64 jurisdictions in 24 states that will have a federal presence Tuesday.

The department did not specify how it made its selections for monitoring, though Harris and Waller counties have made the list in the last four presidential and midterm elections. Harris and Dallas are the state’s largest and second-largest counties. Rural Waller County is home to Prairie View A&M University, a historically Black campus.

Voters can send complaints on possible violations of federal law to the DOJ through its website or by calling 800-253-3931. Polls open at 7 a.m. on Election Day.

... not just Texas.
But Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Florida should be on their poll watching list too.

The Fascist Republican't Party MAGA nuts are going to scream rigged election if they do not totally win this midterm election.

Then they intend to trash all future elections and American Democracy. So then they can then install the Mango Fuhrer as their life long Christo-Fascist Despot/Messiah.
