If the fascists sends DOJ "election monitors" to every polling place in California for the Prop 50 election they're going to need at least 3,711 of them. If drop boxes are included they'll need 1,968 more. If early voting locations are included, that's another 456. That's a total of 6,135.What arm of the DOJ has those kinds of numbers?
