Officials in Florida and Texas have said they won’t allow federal election monitors into polling sites on Tuesday. And on Monday, Missouri filed a federal lawsuit seeking a court order to block federal officials from observing inside polling places.

The Justice Department announced last week that it’s deploying election monitors in 86 jurisdictions across 27 states on Election Day. The Justice Department declined to comment on Monday on the Missouri lawsuit and the moves by other Republican-led states.

The race between Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump is a dead heat, and both sides are bracing for potential legal challenges to vote tallies.

Could local prosecutors revive the corruption case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams?

Mayor Eric Adams may have dodged a legal bullet when the Trump Justice Department announced plans to pause his criminal prosecution. But the decision in Washington, D.C., does not block local NYC district attorneys from seeking their own corruption charges, if they so wished.

“I think there are theories a local prosecutor could clearly pursue based on what is in the public record,” said Daniel Horwitz, a former Manhattan prosecutor who now specializes in white collar defense and government/regulatory investigations. “I think that any prosecutor, any...

The White House gave no reason for the firing of Inspector General Paul Martin, one of the officials said. The officials were familiar with the dismissal but not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
