For Chinese readers in the US who vote in US elections, the article reports that final midterm voting is taking place Tuesday after millions already cast ballots, with early turnout on pace to eclipse the last midterms and voting so far unfolding with relatively few problems. It also reports that the Justice Department was planning its largest-ever effort to monitor Election Day polling places, while election officials and Democratic groups planned for the possibility of immigration agents at voting sites or federal officers seizing voting machines. The administration has insisted that no armed federal officials would be guarding the polls on Election Day. The article also says the Justice and Homeland Security departments have been involved in a hunt for voters who are not U.S. citizens, including a predawn operation that led to more than two dozen arrests in California; it does not describe changes to visas, jobs, prices, education, or family rules.
