That law prohibits discrimination in voting and ensures voters are not intimidated or otherwise prevented from casting a ballot on the basis of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability or another protected class.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, the Justice Department&#8217;s own civil rights attorneys have served as monitors, and usually it sends out dozens of staff to a variety of polling places. In the 2024 general election, for instance, the department monitored compliance with federal voting rights laws in 86 jurisdictions across 27 states.<\/p>\n<p>The Civil Rights Division under the Trump administration, however, has been largely gutted. More than 70% of its career staff took early retirement or resigned amid concerns about changes to its mission under Dhillon&#8217;s leadership. Although she has since recruited more attorneys, it remains understaffed.<\/p>\n<p>In order to reach 1,000 monitors for the upcoming election, a DOJ spokesperson told CBS News that the department will seek federal employees to volunteer for the effort. A department official added that the recruitment will target DOJ employees, including people in U.S. Attorney&#8217;s Offices throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p>A full list of locations is expected to be made public once the primaries are concluded. On Tuesday, the Justice Department announced it was sending monitors to polling places for <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/florida-governor-primary-byron-donalds-james-fishback-senate-alaska-wyoming\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">primary elections<\/a><\/span> in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and Laramie County, Wyoming.<\/p>\n<p>While it is longstanding practice for the DOJ to send monitors to polling places, some states are more suspicious this year, given the 31 lawsuits the Civil Rights Division has filed seeking states&#8217; unredacted voter data. The division has said it wants to ensure each state&#8217;s rolls are clean, and that noncitizens are not registered. The states argue the suits are an effort to cast doubt on the integrity of the election process itself. The government has not prevailed in a single lawsuit so far, with judges\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-lawsuits-state-voter-rolls-justice-department\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">blocking the requests<\/a><\/span> for data in 23 cases to date.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Homeland Security, meanwhile, wants to use the voter information to carry out criminal and immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump, for his part, has repeatedly refused to acknowledge that he lost the 2020 election, and claimed without evidence that it was stolen. The FBI has since launched a number of criminal investigations related to the 2020 election results, including in Fulton County, Georgia, and in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes filed a public records request in the hopes of learning why DOJ was deploying monitors in three counties to monitor its primary election.<\/p>\n<section
