I'm also curious as to how these particular locations were chosen for on-site monitoring, some of these locations seem like places where no particular problem might be expected.

I also wonder if, in addition to these on-site location-dedicated monitors, the justice department will have the mobile staff needed to respond to calls of civil rights violations in locations where they have not dedicated any monitors.

And I felt this paragraph should be repeated...

On Election Day, Civil Rights Division personnel will be available all day to receive questions and complaints from the public related to possible violations of federal voting rights laws. Reports may be made through the department’s website www.civilrights.justice.gov or by calling toll-free at 800-253-3931.

Also, it seems the state of Florida has to much to hide to let the doj do this on THEIR turf...

Fla. Sec. State sends letter to DOJ saying federal election monitors will not be allowed inside polling sites...
