"For many election workers, the threats have been a major driving factor to leave the job, hollowing out the ranks of experience ahead of 2024,"
And this is EXACTLY what the facists want. They hope to replace poll workers with people who will follow their conspiracy theories instead of the law.
Yep get them replaced with maga fuckwhits who will actually make sure to throw out Democratic ballotts. It's fascism.
Conservatives are a plague.

These people know they're fascists. I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt.
I read election as electron and had a fleeting thought of man people really do hate chromium
