The Department of Justice’s Voting Rights Section and Michigan U.S. Attorney’s Office staff are monitoring polling locations in Michigan on Tuesday, ahead of contentious primary elections in the swing state. “The Department of Justice is devoting extensive resources to ensure uniform and nondiscriminatory monitoring. A spokesperson for the office noted that the federal government has held meetings with city officials and Michigan Department of State staff. Two teams of U.S. Department of Justice observers are swinging through polling places in Lansing, MI today. A Michigan Department of State official monitoring the monitors tells me they’ve been uniformly kind and cordial.
