RNC demands access for observers in Philadelphia – Van Nuys News Press

WASHINGTON – When the polls opened in Philadelphia this morning, four court-appointed Republican election officials were disbarred and illegally thrown out. This is a crime and should not happen in a fair and secure election as promised by Governor Shapiro and Secretary Schmidt.

This is an unacceptable breach of public trust that undermines the transparency of elections in Philadelphia.

We have now added three more thanks to the efforts of our legal team in Pennsylvania. We call on Attorney General Larry Krasner and election officials to act immediately and allow our poll watchers access to precincts. Refusing to allow Republicans into the chamber jeopardizes the integrity and security of Pennsylvania's elections.

We are fighting to protect voters in Philadelphia and across the country. Report any election issues to PA.ProtectTheVote.com.
