WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A group of U.S. Senate Democrats sounded the alarm over a lack of election workers ahead of the Nov. 8 midterm voting, citing threats and harassment as hurdles to recruiting crucial staff.
In an Oct. 6 letter to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, 13 Senate Democrats and two independents aligned with Democrats called for the federal agency to step up efforts to support states in recruiting workers needed to run next month's midterm elections.
“Recruitment efforts have been further hampered by the increase in threats and harassment targeting election workers," the letter stated. "We urge you to take additional actions to ensure election officials have the information and resources necessary to address these ongoing shortages."
The letter cited states such as Texas, which have been forced to close polling stations due to a lack of staff.
Threats against poll workers have sharply increased since the lead up to the 2020 election, when former President Donald Trump began making unfounded claims about massive election fraud.
Since then, numerous court cases, non-partisan audits and even Trump's Department of Justice rejected his claims.
At least ten states are considering stronger protections for election administrators who have faced a campaign of terror inspired by Trump’s baseless claims of a "stolen" election in 2020.

Those unattended ballot drop boxes aren’t going to stuff themselves...
In other words, not enough democrat election thieves have been allowed to run the elections.
I can hear it now. They’re going to want to hire illegal aliens to be Tallymen Banana Ballot counters.
Let me guess - the solution is more mail-in ballots?
“...election administrators who have faced a campaign of terror inspired by Trump’s baseless claims of a “stolen” election in 2020.”
Yeah that's the reason you can't get worker. It has nothing to do with Joe.
LOL!
Not enough election workers or not enough Democrat plants pretending to be election workers?
They’ve outsourced all of them to the voter fraud department.
I’ll have to dig through FR posts, but I thought a few days ago the Dems were complaining that too many of the new election workers were “election deniers” with nefarious plans to make voters show IDs and only vote once.
A guy gets caught on security cameras & cell phones committing murder and the papers are careful to insert the word "allegedly" into their description of events. But DJT gets accused of making "unfounded allegations". Pity he can't sue.
What’s the matter, are they afraid they won’t have enough ballot box stuffers or cardboard curtain holders to sufficiently execute their planned steal?!?
Maybe the Dem minions are not so willing to stick their necks out on this election steal for the Party. They know what they did in 2020 and got away with it. The Party won’t have their backs if they get pinched. I believe that’s what happened in Va last year and why Youngkin was able to beat McAuliffe.
I thought for sure it would be “The Internationale”.
Where’s that promised list of NGOs that were the source of the stuffed ballot boxes?
2,000 mules is not an easy task.
Maybe all of those servants have realized that they will become criminals if they work for the democrats. No, that can’t be it because none of them have gone to jail yet. Oh, maybe a couple have and that’s only a fluke.
