Election Officials May Quit As They Become Targets

“Experts in the field fear a massive exodus of administrators that would change how elections are run — and threaten democracy itself,” CNN reports.

“Nearly one in three local election officials included in a recent survey for the liberal-leaning Brennan Center for Justice say they feel unsafe because of their jobs.”

Said election expert David Becker: “We’re in danger of losing a generation’s worth of professional election expertise. That would be bad enough if it weren’t also combined with the fact that they might be replaced with partisan hackery.”
