She's been an election judge there for years and early voting has not been pleasant. She's been met outside as she's left, had one man rush the doors trying to shove ballots in as they were closing, been followed home ... the list goes on. They even held training about what to do if they were followed or attacked while delivering the vote to the election center for counting (seriously).
I'm hoping tomorrow is a safe day for her and all the election workers in Maricopa County, the State of Arizona and across the nation.
