DOJ again asks to monitor Hennepin County polling places, county attorney says

Hennepin County officials have rejected a renewed request from the U.S. Department of Justice to monitor local polling places during the November 3 general election. While the county denied federal staff access inside voting locations, officials noted that monitors may still be present outside a 100-foot boundary. County Attorney Mary Moriarty emphasized the office's commitment to protecting voter rights and prosecuting any instances of intimidation or harassment during the upcoming election.
