That's how many federal election monitors the Justice Department plans to deploy to polling locations during November's midterm elections, a figure Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said is "probably going to be a historic number for a Republican administration." The announcement comes as critics fear the administration may send armed agents near polling sites, though Dhillon said monitors will observe and investigate, not intervene. The deployment follows an aggressive DOJ campaign to obtain voter rolls from states, including partial Social Security numbers, a push that has lost nearly two dozen of the more than 30 lawsuits it has filed.
