The Civil Rights Division has been monitoring elections in the field in all 50 states since 1965, when the Voting Rights Act was passed. This has helped to protect voters’ rights,” the Justice Department stated in a Monday press release. “The Civil Rights Division will accept complaints from the public about possible violations of federal voting rights laws via its call center.”
The DOJ also monitors Alaska, California and Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota. Missouri, New Jersey. New Mexico. Rhode Island. South Carolina. Utah. Virginia.
