跟进：纽黑文联邦监票员选举日被挡在投票站外，康州州法禁止联邦观察员入内
康涅狄格州纽黑文市的联邦选举监票员11月3日被挡在投票站门外，未能进入站内观察投票。据《新英格兰信号报》援引新英格兰新闻协作组织报道，特朗普政府当天向纽黑文派出4名监票员，检查投票材料是否同时提供英文和西班牙文版本，他们是司法部向全美50个州派出的约1000人监票行动的一部分。纽黑文市民主党和共和党选民登记官均拒绝监票员入内，理由是康涅狄格州法律禁止联邦观察员进入投票站，以及对选民受恐吓和公众信心的担忧；司法部向市政府表示，监票员无权逮捕或拘留任何人，且必须留在州法规定的投票站外75英尺区域之外。当天清晨6时30分，纽黑文联邦检察官办公室助理检察官扎卡里·丹佛出现在上西村第26选区的戴维斯街学校投票站外，成为这次行动的首个被目击点。康涅狄格州投票站于晚8时关闭，选举日前已有超过50万选民通过缺席投票或提前投票完成投票。

Follow-up: Federal Election Monitors Turned Away From New Haven Polling Places on Election Day Under Connecticut Law
Federal election monitors in New Haven, Connecticut, were turned away from polling places on November 3 and were not allowed inside to observe voting. According to the New England Signal, citing the New England News Collaborative, the Trump administration sent four monitors to New Haven that day to check whether voting materials were provided in both English and Spanish; they were part of a Justice Department deployment of about 1,000 monitors to all 50 states. Both the Democratic and Republican registrars of voters in New Haven refused the monitors entry, citing Connecticut law barring federal observers from polling places and concerns about voter intimidation and public confidence; the Justice Department told the city that the monitors had no authority to arrest or detain anyone and had to remain outside the 75-foot zone around polling places set by state law.
At 6:30 that morning, Assistant U.S. Attorney Zachary Denver of the New Haven U.S. Attorney's Office appeared outside the Davis Street School polling place in Ward 26 on the Upper West Side, the first sighting of the operation. Polls in Connecticut closed at 8 p.m., and more than 500,000 voters had already cast absentee or early ballots before Election Day.
