Politico Reporter Sounds Alarm on ‘a Lot of White Folks from the Suburbs’ Becoming Poll Workers to Target ‘Heavily Minority Districts’
Reporter Heidi Przybyla sounded the alarm on Saturday over “White folks from the suburbs” potentially “targeting” heavily-minority and Democratic-leaning districts with Republican poll workers.
Appearing on MSNBC’s Velshi, Przybyla described recent audio recordings she obtained and reported on for Politico this week which contained GOP strategists speaking with Michigan activists about inserting Republicans as poll workers and having them report suspicious behavior to similarly right-leaning lawyers.
In the audio recordings, Przybyla said she heard lots of talk about the 2020 presidential election being rigged against former President Donald Trump and claimed the GOP is targeting “hardcore MAGA folks” who see these efforts as a response to that election.
In one of the recordings, Matthew Seifried, the RNC’s election integrity director in Michigan, described future plans by saying, “it’s going to be an army.”
“Being a poll worker, you just have so many more rights and things you can do to stop something than [as] a poll challenger,” he said at another point, according to the Politico report.
