PSA: Election Law in Pennsylvania

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

2. Illinois has similar well-defined rules

tRumps threats of providing goons won't happen here. Even local police have very limited authority at a polling location:

NOTE: Uniformed police or plain-clothes police officers wearing badges and guns may not stand or
sit in the polling place as observers.

They may enter the polling place only if the judges or the Clerk’s office invite them in to resolve a disturbance.

Police must leave the polling place when the disturbance is over.

Electioneering, or any type of campaigning, is prohibited in the Campaign-Free Zone during voting hours.

Election judges are the sole authority in the polling place.

Election judges may expel observers who violate these rules from the polling place. If they persist, judges may have them arrested.
