Threats to US election workers take heavy and harrowing toll | Fight to vote

Election officials were the target of rage after Trump's baseless claims - and a new report details how many workers feel unsafe

Happy Thursday,

In the United States, a quiet army of people work in towns, cities, and states across the country to make sure that elections hum along smoothly. They're responsible for all the mechanics that ensure Americans can exercise their right to vote - like keeping track of complex data files, making sure that mail-in ballots get printed and go out on time, ensuring that polling places have enough workers, and making sure that every valid vote gets counted.
