Some administrators also noted that they and their staff will be vigilant for workers with ulterior motives.
“If you’re going there to disrupt, it’s going to be obvious very quickly,
and you’re going to be removed,
and if it’s something that’s criminal,
you’re going to be prosecuted,”
said Jerry Holland, supervisor of elections in Duval County, Florida, home to Jacksonville.
🔥Despite Election Day safeguards, some groups also suggest that they could use poll worker testimony in lawsuits challenging the electoral process.
United Sovereign Americans,
a group that claims to have identified widespread voter fraud,
has shared such a plan on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast.
“We’re not saying, like, hey, maybe we’ll file a lawsuit down the road,” founder #Marly #Hornik said on the show.
“We’re saying we already have attorneys writing these lawsuits.
What we need is your reports to fill in as those are going to constitute the exhibits.”
In an interview, Hornik said her group is nonpartisan and insisted it is not seeking to disrupt the election.
🔥But it is planning to request injunctions stopping the certification of election results in some states.
“We’re not disrupting the election,” she said.
“The officials who are supposed to run a legitimate process are refusing to do so.”
Attorneys at the Institute for Responsive Government and the Brennan Center said these efforts will likely fail.
The Brennan Center has filed an amicus brief in opposition to a United Sovereign Americans’ lawsuit in Maryland; that suit has been dismissed and the group is appealing.
