That\u2019s why it\u2019s critical to ensure the laws are being followed.<\/p>\n<p>Federal monitors who observe and report simply add another layer of accountability to the work our great state already does to protect the integrity of every legal vote.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/assorted-photos\/112277.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Indianapolis Star building.
