Voter fraud allegations and violence push poll workers to quit ahead of Election Day

Election workers nationwide are resigning from their positions due to a growing number of threats and violence, putting increased pressure on polling places three months before Election Day.

Election offices in at least nine states have reported a slew of departures and early resignations due to an increasing level of misinformation about voter fraud and threats against poll workers. The resignations are causing concerns ahead of the midterm elections in November as officials fear a major loss of institutional knowledge and necessary experience to administer elections.
