    In 2022, after five years of service as chief electoral officer, Diana Spicola announced her resignation following accusations of treason and death threats.

    Her replacement resigned after receiving envelopes filled with fentanyl just weeks after taking over.

    Carrie Ann Burgess is next in line for Registrar of Voters in Washoe County, Georgia, where every employee, specifically 18 years old, who worked there during the 2020 election has resigned.

    In addition, nearly all election directors across the state have left in the past three and a half years.

    USA Today reports,

    A similar pattern is playing out nationally, where tens of thousands of election workers have long been harassed from their jobs by a small cadre of self-appointed voting experts and pundits who hounded staffers for switching to paper ballots, demanded hand-count results, and insisted on… Allowing them to participate in ways that are usually prohibited precisely because they can cause errors.

    “It's not that turnover is new,” said Tammy Patrick, executive director of programs at the National Association of Election Officials. “What's new is its scope, its depth, its scale. Those who have left the field, that's understandable. A person can only take so much.”

    The unprecedented turnover means that elections today are run by less experienced workers at all levels. One nonpartisan group concluded that the departing election officials took with them 1,800 years of collective experience from a system that until 2020 was widely considered the international gold standard.

    With the number of people leaving their jobs and new election workers having to be trained, election experts have raised questions about whether elections will now be more accurate and secure. However, they believe that the country's new or experienced election officials are up to the task.

    “There is an increase in confidence in the election today,” said Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab, a Republican. “It's just that people who trust elections aren't as vocal as people who don't.”

    This doesn't mean actual harassment, it means people monitoring election workers to make sure there's no fraudulent behavior.

    Scary times! https://t.co/NXmN44fZZF

    Unfortunately, due to congressional corruption, election workers are often harassed and, in some cases, illegally harassed. Investigations into the harassment are continuing, as a California man was arrested Thursday for allegedly leaving life-threatening voicemails on an Arizona state official's phone.

    However, there is still a valid question: Who will take charge of the 2024 elections?

    Who remains in the election offices? In many cases, less experienced representatives and newcomers try to fill the void. What is even more concerning is that some of those who want to take these jobs are deniers of the 2020 election and have a specific agenda.

    Patrick, who worked as a federal compliance officer for the Maricopa County Elections Department in Arizona, said the internal checks and balances that have always helped make U.S. elections secure and reliable will generally prevent any bad actors from significantly changing the results.

    But it also acknowledged that the systems are designed primarily to prevent honest mistakes, not to stop criminal behavior.

    Liberals always say the obvious and then call everyone on the right crazy for pointing out the truth.

    Elections are not secure, and probably haven't been for years when top officials admitted they couldn't stop “criminal behavior,” a.k.a. Election fraud.
