Now he's even threatening volunteer poll workers who are just doing their civic duty. Don't tell me he's not a dictator.
RED FLAG: The Trump Justice Department has demanded the identities of every worker who staffed the 2020 election in Fulton County, Georgia, according to court records reviewed by NYT.
The demand targets employees of Fulton County elections as well as volunteer poll workers, who likely numbered in the thousands during the 2020 election.
“Its purpose is to target, harass, and punish the President’s perceived political opponents,” the county’s motion stated.
The county board argued that the subpoena “cannot yield any evidence that could result in a criminal prosecution” because, among other things, the statutes of limitations have expired “for any purported 2020 election crimes.”
The county also asserted that the subpoena requires the disclosure of names, positions, email addresses and personal telephone numbers for ten categories of Fulton County election workers.
At a time when “election workers fear for their personal safety,” it would apply to volunteers, temporary poll workers and even bus drivers who operated a mobile voting location, the county filing stated.
Lauren Groh-Wargo, who leads Fair Fight Action, a left-leaning voting rights organization, said election workers across the country are facing increased threats and harassment.
“Roughly a third of election officials are threatened on the job, and more than half worry it’s making it harder to hire and keep election workers,” Ms. Groh-Wargo said in a statement on Monday. “They’re trying to break our democracy by attacking the infrastructure, but we are fighting back hard.”
