Palm Beach State Attorney vows to prosecute threats against election workers 'to the fullest extent of the law'

If you think it’s a good idea to harass election workers, you’d do well to steer clear of Palm Beach County, according to State Attorney Dave Aronberg.

Aronberg’s Office just issued a warning to would-be bullies with aims to intimidate, threaten or harm people working at polling sites across the county — and those visiting them to cast ballots.

“Election officials and poll workers have an essential role in our democratic process. Any threats, intimidation or acts of violence against them will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,’ Aronberg said in a statement.

“This is a critical time for the safety and security of our elections. We want voters to know that they can cast ballots without fear or intimidation, and that those who threaten this process will face serious consequences.”
