The Department of Justice (DOJ) is reviewing a request by New Jersey Republicans asking the federal agency to send election monitors to Passaic County after the local Board of Elections blocked a proposal to install security cameras where ballots are stored and processed.

“The Justice Department is committed to upholding the integrity of our electoral system and is reviewing this request to ensure all elections remain free, fair, and transparent,” DOJ spokesperson Gates McGavick wrote in a statement to The Epoch Times on Oct. 22.
