Federal officials will monitor the polls in these 4 Wisconsin communities on Election Day [View all]

The U.S. Department of Justice said Friday that officials would be at the polls in 86 jurisdictions around the country, including the following four Wisconsin cities and towns:

Milwaukee: Wisconsin's largest and most diverse city, which has been targeted in the past by false claims of widespread voter fraud.

Thornapple: A town in Rusk County that in October was ordered by a federal judge to return to using voting machines accessible to people with disabilities. The judge ruled Thornapple had violated federal law "by failing to provide a voting system equipped for individuals with disabilities" during the April 2 and Aug. 13 elections this year.

Lawrence: Another town in Rusk County that was sued by the U.S. Department of Justice over allegations of failing to provide voting machines accessible to people with disabilities. The DOJ previously said it had reached an agreement with the Town of Lawrence.

Wausau: A city in central Wisconsin where the mayor unilaterally decided to remove a drop box for absentee ballots.
