The Justice Department has dispatched federal poll monitors to 18 states in an effort to prevent voter discrimination ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced Monday.
The monitors will look for race-based discrimination and inadequate resources for bilingual voters and individuals with disabilities, the agency said in a statement on Monday.

I don't know, this seems an awful lot like the Federal Government intimidating election officials.
Holder said monitor's will be "working in a fair and nonpartisan manner" but with everything we've seen thus far, can you really believe him?
