CNN
A new report highlights the threats to America's election workforce in the ugly aftermath of the 2020 presidential election.
And about one in six election workers who responded -- about 17% -- have received threats, according to the survey of 233 election officials on behalf of the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University's Law School. "They feel like they have a target on their backs for doing their work," Larry Norden, director of the election reform program at the Brennan Center, told CNN. "It's one of the scariest parts of the attacks on democracy. You can't have a democracy that functions if you don't have people who are unafraid to be the administrators of elections."
