The Department of Justice will monitor polls on Election Day in Washoe and Mineral counties. The department will send 500 people to 67 jurisdictions across the country — including the two Nevada counties — to gather information on whether or not counties are complying with federal voting laws. The Department of Justice release didn’t say why they’re coming to Washoe and Mineral, but Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske’s office was at the center of a federal lawsuit with the Pyramid Lake and Walker River Paiute tribes over access to polling places, and was ordered by a federal judge to set up polling places on reservations.
