Hands are trembling in voting precincts in America
Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are the final days of the American elections, with the election fervor reaching its peak. Meanwhile, although many Americans have voted in advance, the presence of voters at the polls is increasing as those who have postponed voting to the last days show up, with Tuesday being the peak day for their presence.
In this situation, the hands of the election workers and officials at the precincts are trembling. Death threats against them from extremists and Trump supporters, who claim election fraud two years ago and seek to influence this year’s election process, are increasing day by day.
According to the law, citizen presence under the law as oversight for fair election execution is permissible, but this process has its own rules and regulations. Extremists, under the pretext of exercising their citizen’s right, gather around polling stations armed, violently, and noisily, and the threats against citizens are serious. However, aside from the danger to voters, the main threat is to the election officials.
Available documents show that in the span of forty days in recent months, one hundred and forty serious death threats have been recorded against them in just one county in the state of Arizona. Official reports from this part of Arizona alone during the summer have documented sixteen hundred pages about the threats facing election officials in just one county of one state.
