The Department of Justice says they will send federal election observers to New Jersey at the request of the state Republican Party ahead of next month's election. Republicans say federal intervention is necessary to ensure an accurate vote count, citing previous cases of voter fraud. The DOJ will monitor polling sites in Passaic County in North Jersey, where two city councilmen are accused of orchestrating a mail-in ballot scheme back in 2020. Passaic County is heavily Latino, but the longtime Democratic stronghold went for Trump in last year's presidential race. The New Jersey Attorney General's Office calls the DOJ's efforts "highly inappropriate for the federal government to interfere" in the election. DOJ is also planning to monitor polling sites in parts of California.
