Missouri state officials filed a lawsuit on Monday to prevent the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) from sending federal personnel to monitor polling places on Election Day.

The legal action, filed by Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft and the Missouri Attorney General’s office, seeks to block what Ashcroft describes as “illegal interference” by the federal government in Missouri’s elections.
