Justice Department to Monitor Election in Maricopa County, Arizona

The Justice Department announced today that it will monitor the municipal election on March 12, 2013, in the town of Guadalupe, in Maricopa County, Ariz., to ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Voting Rights Act prohibits discrimination in the election process on the basis of race, color or membership in a minority language group.

Under the Voting Rights Act, the Justice Department is authorized to ask the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to send federal observers to jurisdictions that are certified by the attorney general or by a federal court order. Federal observers will be assigned to monitor polling place activities in Maricopa County based on the Attorney General’s certification. The observers will watch and record activities during voting hours in the town of Guadalupe, and a Civil Rights Division attorney will coordinate the federal activities and maintain contact with local election officials.

Each year, the Justice Department deploys hundreds of federal observers from OPM, as well as departmental staff, to monitor elections across the country. To file complaints about discriminatory voting practices, including acts of harassment or intimidation, voters may call the Voting Section of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division at 1-800-253-3931.

I just wish they would actually _CHECK_ citizenship docs- most of (Yaqui) Guadalupe is populated by illegals- or "the Party Faithful" to the typical Democrat.

I STILL pronounce it like I did in Austin: "Guad-a-loop" (it REALLY pisses them off!
