Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is trying to block monitors from the Department of Justice from gaining access to some polling places.
The department announced Monday it would send federal monitors to 64 jurisdictions -- including Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties -- across the country to ensure civil rights laws were upheld, but the Florida Department of State sent a letter later that same day warning those monitors would not be allowed inside polling places and the state would instead send its own, reported the Washington Post.
