We should take a moment this Labor Day to honor those Americans who have been targeted, harassed and even threatened with violence over the last two years for simply doing their jobs: the nation’s election workers.
At least hundreds, if not thousands, of state and local election officials and workers across the country have been harassed and intimidated as a direct result of the “Big Lie”— that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” by Joe Biden. Thankfully, there have been very few such threats against election workers in the Chicago area, spokespersons for the Chicago, Cook County and DuPage County boards of elections told us.
