HOUSTON -- Federal monitors have been requested for Houston polling places after complaints of harassment earlier this week.

The county attorney and district attorney are investigating complaints that some poll watchers intimated voters.

At seven early voting sites on Monday, black and Hispanic voters complained that white poll watchers disrupted the voting.

Most of the poll watchers were allegedly trained by a conservative tea party group called the King Street Patriots.
