The state Department of Justice employees monitoring polls for the Nov. 4 election encountered few problems at voting places, according to reports acquired by the Associated Press.
Over 280 pages of reports from the special agents and assistant attorneys general sent to the polls reveal few cases of illegal campaigning or violations of election laws at or near the polls, according to the AP.
Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen sent out these observers to ensure compliance with state laws governing elections,"" according to an Oct. 28 DOJ statement.
However, Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesperson Alec Loftus said these agents caused problems by misinforming election workers about the rules concerning interaction between poll watchers and voters.
""They didn't need to be there in the first place, as evidenced by these reports,"" Loftus said.
