Pro bono lawyers will monitor the polls for irregularities in Washington, D.C., during the presidential election vote.

D.C. Council member Mary Cheh announced that the lawyers are being enlisted after a “chaotic situation” during the primary when thousands of phantom voters were initially added to the tallies, the Washington Post reports.

Chey said Jenner & Block will help with a probe into the primary debacle. The company that provided the city with voting software has said the errors could have been caused by human error or static discharge.
