Department of Justice sending election monitors to 7 Michigan cities

The U.S. Department of Justice plans to send election monitors to polling places in seven Michigan cities this fall, as voters in the battleground state prepare to pick a new governor and decide a series of races that could sway control of Congress. Less than two weeks before the midterm election, the federal department within Republican President Donald Trump's administration provided local officials in Detroit, East Lansing, Flint, Grand Rapids, Hamtramck, Lansing and Warren with information about the monitoring effort, according to an Oct. 22 announcement from state leaders. "As the Civil Rights Division has done in the past, our monitors only observe," said an Oct. 21 email to the East Lansing clerk from James Catania , a lawyer with the U.S. Department of Justice. "They do not intrude or interfere in any way in the voting process." The email didn't explain why East Lansing, where Michigan State University is located, had been selected for monitoring. Officials in other Michigan cities, including Lansing Mayor Andy Schor, said they were uncertain why their municipalities had been picked. "They have not told me why," Schor told The Detroit News. Detroit, Grand Rapids and Warren are Michigan's three largest cities. Lansing and East
