Cumberland County officials received an email this week from the Trump campaign requesting highly specific details about the countys ballot security.
The email, obtained by The Sentinel, went so far as to ask for the address and room numbers of ballot storage locations and asking that the information be sent to the Gmail account of a Florida-based Trump operative.
County officials said they have not responded to the request and do not intend to, according to the county commissioners.
The Trump campaign described the request as standard election transparency details, but local officials find the implication that the Presidents campaign staff is harvesting election security plans through what appears to be a personal web-based email account to be extremely concerning.
Its almost kind of chilling the sort of data they wanted us to provide, Cumberland County Commissioner Gary Eichelberger said. This is basically the whole security plan. Weve never received a request of this detail and I find it troubling that one of the interested parties [in the election outcome] feels they have a right to information that obviously could jeopardize the security of the ballots.
