BREAKING: New footage from Maricopa County Election Training Sessions unveil that poll workers are instructed not to interfere with potential third-party ballot harvesting, raising questions about oversight in the election process.
OMG Citizen Journalists attended Maricopa training sessions undercover, where Amy Bricker, a county election trainer, advised poll workers that “we’re not any type of law enforcement” and that handling ballot harvesting concerns was beyond their responsibility.
When OMG journalists pressed further, asking if poll workers could alert authorities about suspicious activities like large numbers of ballots being dropped off by single individuals, Bricker stated clearly, “No, you cannot.” She confirmed that even if ballots are brought in by someone other than the voter, poll workers are instructed to accept them as long as they’re “signed and dated.” These revelations raise critical questions about the role of election oversight in ensuring a fair and transparent process.
The training also revealed a significant federal presence at Maricopa polling sites. Department of Justice agents will reportedly be stationed across polling locations in the county, with trainers suggesting this could be “to follow up on a lawsuit or monitor things for this election.”
