Description
Federal election monitors will be present at some polling locations in Ohio during Election Day to observe from outside the 100-foot no-campaign zone without interfering with the voting process. Officials say the observers are stationed outside the 100-foot no-campaign zone and are not authorized to enter polling locations. Legal experts note the monitors are observers only and are not empowered to act or interfere in the election process. Secretary of State Frank LaRose has stressed that federal monitors have been deployed by administrations of both parties to ensure compliance with federal election laws.
