Texas Secretary of State, US Department of Justice on opposing sides ahead of Election Day
SUMMARY: Texas is firmly opposing the federal government ahead of election day, with the U.S. Department of Justice announcing plans to send monitors to oversee voting rights in Texas and 27 other states. Early voting in Bexar County has reached record numbers, with over 570,000 votes cast. The Texas Secretary of State‘s office asserts that federal monitors cannot enter polling places or ballot counting stations, citing state election laws. This stance aligns with previous elections, where federal monitors were also not permitted. The outcome of this conflict between state and federal oversight remains uncertain.
With just a couple of days until Election Day, Texas and the United States Department of Justice are butting heads over who can and cannot be inside a polling location legally.
