As the 2024 election approaches, officials in swing states are proactively preparing to prevent disruptions similar to those experienced in previous elections. Election workers are reporting increased threats and intimidation, prompting authoritative figures like the Georgia Secretary of State to emphasize the need for public trust in the electoral process. Frequent communication among key election officials is helping them share strategies and bolster security measures. In battleground areas like Georgia and Michigan, heightened election mistrust, particularly among Trump voters, is becoming increasingly evident. Officials express concerns about the timing of new election rule changes and are determined to protect voters against any attempts of election interference, as they ensure that democracy is defended against potential insurrection attempts.
