The Department of Justice has announced it will be sending staff to monitor polling stations in the face of growing threats of voter intimidation for the upcoming US Election. Americans are set to hit the polls tomorrow to decide between Hilary Clinton or Donald Trump after months of marathon campaigning, scandals, and polarising debates.

With Clinton edging ahead in the polls, Trump is already calling the election of being rigged. His antagonistic attitude towards the democratic process is enraging his followers who have been engaged in online misinformation campaigns and attempting to suppress minority groups likely to vote for Clinton.
