Summary
Federal judges in Texas and Missouri denied requests from the Republican-led states to block the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) from sending monitors to observe polling sites on Election Day.
Texas argued that federal monitors would undermine state election laws, while Missouri claimed it would displace state officials. The DOJ routinely monitors compliance with federal voting rights laws across various states, including Missouri, where a prior settlement allows DOJ oversight of certain polling locations.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has encouraged his supporters to observe polling sites, citing unproven claims of election fraud.

Suck it Paxton! Can’t wait to vote against you again in '26.
This gives me hope. Fuck Paxton
And fuck Andrew Bailey too.
I want to go back to a time when I couldn’t name a single state AG from a state I didn’t live in, because they weren’t doing shitty vice-signalling stunts all the god damned time.
GOP is a criminal organization and trying to steal an election.
Rather obviously, there’s one and only one real reason why they would try to bar federal monitors - because they don’t want any witnesses to whatever they’re planning.
“Democrats are committing electoral fraud!”
“Ok, well let us send people to make sure that doesn’t happen then…”
“… No.”
I think this ensures that if Texas turns blue, Republicans can’t say the election was rigged.
They’ll say it anyway, they don’t give a fuck and their propaganda network will never say otherwise.

Texas: Only we can undermine election laws!
