Some Republican-led states refuse to let Justice Department
monitors into polling places
By ALANNA DURKIN RICHER
and JIM SALTER

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some
Republican-led states say
they will block the Justice
Department's election moni-
tors from going inside poll-
ing places on Election Day,
pushing back on federal
authorities' decades-long
practice of watching for
violations of federal voting
laws.
Officials in Florida and Texas
have said they won't allow
federal election monitors
into polling sites on Tuesday.
And on Monday, Missouri
filed a federal lawsuit seek-
ing a court order to block
federal officials from observ-
ing inside polling places.
The Justice Department an-
nounced last week that it's
deploying election monitors
in 86 jurisdictions across 27
states on Election Day. The
Justice Department de-
clined to comment on Mon-
day on the Missouri lawsuit
and the moves by other
Republican-led states.
