PJ Media. This may rank as the smallest election ever monitored by the DOJ voting Section. No doubt the election coverage memo had all of the usual fearsome stories of racial tension and complaints by civil rights groups to justify coverage. The money spent by the Justice Department to fly, feed, house and drive lawyers to Columbia or Charleston was no object. (Contract price airfare for both, $500-700 per). Voter ID is too big of a problem to worry about spending thousands of dollars to monitor an election with 186 voters.
If there has been an election monitored by the DOJ Voting Section which had fewer than 186 voters participate, email us here and we will post.
