… As the United States enters the final stretch to November’s midterm elections, Reuters documented multiple incidents of intimidation involving an expanding army of election observers, many of them recruited by prominent Republican Party figures and activists echoing Trump's false theories about election fraud. The widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election as alleged by Trump and his supporters was never proven.
Interviews with more than two dozen election officials as well as representatives of groups driven by false theories about election fraud, and an examination of poll-watching training materials, revealed an intensifying grassroots effort to recruit activists. This has heightened alarm that disturbances in this year's primary contests could foreshadow problems in November's local, state and national races.
Officials and experts worry the campaign will deepen the distrust about America's election process and lead to further harassment and threats to already besieged election workers.
Groups that question the legitimacy of the 2020 vote have helped recruit thousands of observers who support dramatic changes to how Americans vote, including doing away with voting machines and returning to hand-counted paper ballots.
Officials say they are concerned observers intent on rooting out so-called voter fraud could cause unnecessary disruptions and long lines at polling places on Election Day.
"It's a real concern," said Al Schmidt, a former Philadelphia city commissioner who received death threats after the 2020 election for refuting false claims of voter fraud. "If these people show up to the polls with the intention of disrupting voting from taking place, then I can't imagine a worse threat to democracy than that."

“Intimidating” is putting people in jail without trial. The Dims project much.
“False Theories” - They’ve never been investigated so how do we know they’re false. Figures it’s written by Reuters.
They’re scared to death Americans are starting to catch on to the Deep State’s long running elections scam.
Money quote!!
Sign up and get trained as Election Judges (more important than Poll Watchers).
Then volunteer to work in strong Dem counties and make sure you follow the rules, and know how to report violations.
Do it is fine if Blacks with (illegally?) guns showing up at polls is fine but whites at polls to make sure no fraud is taking place is bad?
Don’t commit fraud and there is no fear of getting caught.
Unless radical leftists,media and or the FBI is overseeing anything.
I do hope these guys have an effective plan and don’t just plan on disruption.
I hope it’s not a democrat false flag to paint anti voter fraud activists as lunatics.
People who want to stop the Democrats from stealing another election are a “threat to Democracy”. Why won’t they just let Democrats cheat in peace!
The RATS are already up to their antics again with their banana republic mail in “ballots.” This is intentional SABOTAGE of our election system. A hell of a lot worse than any phony baloney “insurrection”. Where the hell is Bonzo and Holder’s FBI? Where the hell is der kleine führer, Merry?
“false theories about election fraud”
There are legitimate debates about how it was done. There is no question that it was done.
Adjectives. Many of them.
They’re bluffing.
So can the rats still lock the republicans out of the vote counting area or restrict viewing of what they are doing?
That has never been addressed in the 2020 steal.
They are scared!
Never proven, BS!
Stand by, cupcake, it ain't over yet.
It’s obvious they have received their talking points from their overlords, the DNC. Anybody who thinks Reuters or the AP are unbiased news source is blind.
