Minnesota voters are set to choose party nominees for the governor's race and several down-ballot contests.
The Department of Justice on Tuesday will conduct poll monitoring in Minnesota counties during the state's primary elections.
The operation will take place in Hennepin and Ramsey counties, and include roughly 20 personnel from the DOJ's Civil Rights Division and the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office.
“Minnesota is DOJ’s next stop on its nationwide effort to ensure free and fair elections,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said in a statement. “The DOJ is committed to nondiscriminatory monitoring throughout the primary and general election seasons.”
The effort comes as the Trump administration works with states to clean up voter rolls and has attempted to crack down on voter fraud across the nation.
