n DOJ sends election monitors in 64 jurisdictions, a dramatic rise over 2020 //
President Biden’s Justice Department sent election monitors out to 64 jurisdictions in 24 States to ensure federal laws are observed throughout Election Day.
The DOJ deploys election monitors as a standard practice. However, this move is a significant increase over 2020 when it sent monitors to only 44 jurisdictions, according the Washington Post. The monitors will be present in many battleground states, including Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
“Since 1965, the Civil Rights Division has been monitoring elections in the field in all 50 states to ensure that voters’ rights are protected. “The Civil Rights Division will also accept complaints from the public throughout the country regarding possible violations of federal voting rights laws through its Call Center,” the DOJ stated in a statement.
Biden’s White House warned that election results may not be clear due to the process for counting mail-in ballots. These are often tallied after in-person votes have been cast on Election Day.

“We may not be able to know all the winners for several days. It takes time to count all valid ballots in a legal, orderly way. This is how it’s supposed to work,” White House press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said to reporters at a Monday briefing.
The Republicans are widely expected take control of at most the House of Representatives, but control over the Senate is still a toss-up.
Elon MUSK: “I RECOMMEND VOTING ABOUT A REPUBLICAN COUNCIL
House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy, Republican-Calif. is confident that Republicans will regain control of the House on Tuesday, after four years under Democratic control. Although the likely size of the Republican majority is still questionable, polls support his assessment.
McCarthy stated last week that “majorities are not granted – they are earned.” “We don’t take anything for granted. But I feel good about the quality of the candidates running from Rhode Island to New Hampshire, Connecticut to Oregon to Washington and Arizona to California.”
He said, “There’s no place we can compete and that’s the exciting part.”
McCarthy, who would be the first to be elected House speaker if his party wins the chamber, has pledged to use a Republican majority in order to repeal plans for adding 87,000 agents to the IRS and open investigations into Biden’s government.
To secure national polling advantages, McCarthy and the Republicans have focused heavily upon the economy, crime, and Biden’s personal unpopularity.
