"Given the current political environment, the possibility that an event may occur has increased and our election professionals have responded in kind," says Tammy Patrick, a former election official in Arizona's Maricopa County."
"Efforts focusing on the physical security of the voters, election workers, and staff by putting in bulletproof glass, panic buttons, razor wire and fencing are fairly common, as is the installation of surveillance cameras and systems, cyber protections, and training on de-escalation techniques and response drills."
"No where in the US is the militarization of the election process more evident than in Maricopa County, which became ground zero for election denial conspiracists in recent years."
