Thousands of election monitors prepare to watch polls on Election Day

Democratic parties and voting-rights groups say they have trained tens of thousands of volunteers to observe polling places and report concerns.
The Justice Department plans to send about 1,000 staff members to monitor voting in every state, its largest-ever such effort.
The Republican National Committee has nearly 22,000 poll workers and is recruiting additional watchers in competitive districts.
Federal officials say monitors will follow election laws and not interfere; some local officials are preparing for potential violations.
