Nearly 20 poll workers in Milwaukee were instructed on how to resolve disturbances on Election Day, such as confrontational poll watchers.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee’s top election official surveyed about 20 poll workers gathered in a classroom in a city building stuffed with election supplies, then spoke frankly about the tense environment they may face next week when the city expects more people watching their work than ever before.
“So who is worried about observer disruptions?” Claire Woodall-Vogg, head of the Milwaukee Election Commission, asked the group. “Who has read things or heard things on the news, and you’re a little nervous? I am. I’ll raise my hand,” she said, smiling.
A few of the workers raised their hands, too. They’re not alone in their concern: Election officials across the country are today!
