Just Making Sure

The Department of Justice will be in town tomorrow watching the polls during voting hours in Brooklyn, Queens and Westchester "to ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act," the agency announced today. They'll also be monitoring results in Queens after hours. (They must have read about the bare-knuckled campaigning in Jackson Heights).

The DOJ will also be on the ground in Arizona.

The Voting Section of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is at 1-800-253-3931. Just in case.

Now why would the Federal Government feel inclined to watch over the election of a Caucasian Incumbent Queens County Hack versus a Latino candidate??? Why???
