Police, Military & National Guard Prepare For Election Day Tensions

 

 

The U.S. Election on November 3, 2020 is an unprecedented one as public safety entities are preparing to face the possibility of tensions as well as probable violence in parts of the country.

 

 

Poll workers remain the first line of defense when there are disputes with voters. Some of them may have private security guards as backup. Many states and cities are taking decisions that were not taken in the past. For the first time King County in Washington State has said that it will post guards to ballot drop boxes. Many jurisdictions are not posting uniformed police as per local laws and tradition.

 

In this election the police themselves have become a bone of contention. Democrats in Miami complained about the partisan behavior of a local cop. He wore a Trump face mask at an early polling booth. Although he has been disciplined such behavior can cause voter intimidation and also cause a flash point at sensitive places.

 

States like New Jersey are looking at last minute legislation and this has created debates. North Carolina asked officers to stay away from polling booths and the Republicans objected. Michigan with open carry law said that visible guns would not be allowed at election related offices and polling booths but police chiefs say it difficult to enforce and there’s been a law suit.
