The U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division is monitoring polling sites in Charleston County, South Carolina, during the state’s primary runoff election. This follows the unexpected death of late Senator Lindsey Graham on July 11, 2026, which triggered the special GOP runoff. The DOJ deployed four Civil Rights Division attorneys, one South Carolina Assistant U.S. Attorney, and one staff employee to oversee compliance with federal voting laws. The initiative aims to ensure transparency, ballot security, and adherence to statutes such as the Voting Rights Act and the National Voter Registration Act. During this primary season, the DOJ has monitored over 200 polling locations across seven states, compared to nine states during the 2022 midterms. The public may contact the Voting Section at VEM@usdoj.gov for questions or complaints related to federal voting rights laws.
