DOJ Warns Miami-Dade, Broward Election Officials of Impostor Monitors Ahead of Election Day
The Justice Department warned local election officials in Miami-Dade and Broward counties about individuals posing as federal election monitors ahead of Election Day. Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections Alina Garcia confirmed the warning but said no impostors have been reported at local polling places, and poll workers have undergone training to identify them. Real DOJ election monitors observe from outside polling sites, carry proper ID, and ensure compliance with Spanish/English language requirements under federal law. Earlier in October, a 46-year-old man was arrested for posing as an ICE agent while intimidating voters at a Brazilian election event at the college's Kendall campus.
