“DOJ election monitors are a common thing in elections. They have been happening for decades. They are there to observe only. They don't interfere with voting. They happened in this year's primaries with almost no incidents. … These are lawyers, essentially, whose job it is to make sure that the Voting Rights Act and the Help America Vote Act are being complied with.” — Nathaniel Rakich, GD POLITICS

“Almost always this is a result of fat-fingering, or people hitting the screen too hard, which can mess up the calibration. In almost every jurisdiction, even with a touchscreen machine, it prints out a paper ballot with those choices. The machine does not record your vote immediately. So voters who are concerned should check that paper record, and if it's not correct, you can try again and fix it.” — Nathaniel Rakich, GD POLITICS

“Florida is the fastest state in the country at reporting results. They drop things within half an hour, and they'll have two-thirds of the vote. Florida is the new California, not in vote counting speed but in how many competitive House races there are. There are six or seven races that I'm watching.” — Nathaniel Rakich, GD POLITICS
