DOJ sending 1,000 election monitors to all 50 states

The Justice Department said Tuesday it will deploy about 1,000 election monitors to all 50 states for the first time ever to watch the polls. Why it matters: The unprecedented effort comes after courts repeatedly rejected the DOJ's efforts to force states to restrict voting for alleged noncitizens.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the Justice Department’s plan to send about 1,000 election monitors to all 50 states, and both describe it as unusually large or unprecedented. Axios is the only one to add context, saying the effort follows court rejections of DOJ attempts to force states to restrict voting for alleged noncitizens. ABC News instead highlights the department’s own description of the deployment as the “largest” federal monitoring effort in history.
