Special Edition: Death Threats, Panic Buttons & Worker Turnover Ahead of Election Day
Manage episode 445855861 series 2950397
Election Day is just over two weeks away now, but the preparations have been going on for years – partly because of a more contentious, sometimes violent, political environment. Steps are being taken to avoid another Capitol riot, polling places are getting security upgrades, and there’s been record turnover among election workers, who have faced more threats in recent years.
Chris Harvey worked as Georgia’s elections director for the most volatile years in elections in the state’s history so far. In 2021, he got back into law enforcement, setting training standards for all of Georgia’s peace officers. He’s also a member of the Committee for Safe and Secure Elections – a non-partisan group that brings law enforcement and elections experts together.
We talked about the state of political violence in America, how election officials are preparing, what it felt like to face death threats, and more.
