Threats that led to Jan. 6 riot persist, lawmakers and watchdogs warn – Spectrum News

Dustin Czarny, elections commissioner in Onondaga County, New York, cited statistics showing that many election officials have reported facing physical threats and harassment. A substantial percentage of lead elections officers have left their positions, leaving newcomers in charge, Czarny said.

“And they’ve all left because of the harassment, because of the targeting that it’s happened because of the big lie,” said Czarny, who said he is pushing for federal legislation to protect election workers. “We have lost hundreds, if not thousands, of years of experience of election officials going into the crucial 2024 presidential election.”
