October 29 2008

The United States Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia announced that two federal prosecutors will be working on election day as part of the Justice Department's efforts to ensure a fair election. U.S. Attorney Charles T. Miller also said that his office would be working closely with the West Virginia secretary of state's office.[1]

Goal is to deter fraud

Miller said that West Virginia has a history of "trying to get away with some things on election day." His office is publicizing its efforts to counter vote fraud and voting rights abuses in an effort to deter those activities before they happen. A press release from Miller's office provided contact information for federal prosecutors in West Virginia, the FBI, and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.[1]
