Dear Mr. Trump:
("Trump Renews Fears of Voter Intimidation as G.O.P. Poll Watchers Mobilize")
"Bad things" do not happen in Philadelphia.
I was a "poll watcher" there for the 2016 election. I was a volunteer for "Election Protection", having received training to assure that the rights of voters were not abridged by intimidation or otherwise, and that these rights were properly exercised.
I was assigned to monitor three polling places in a mostly minority district. I can report that all went wonderfully. The people I met as I walked the city between polling spots were among the nicest I have ever encountered. The voting issues I had to address at each location were virtually nonexistent.
I left late that afternoon filled with gratitude for having had the privilege to witness democracy working as intended.
Mr. Trump, you can tell the Proud Boys to "stand down." There are, contrary to your assertion, "good people" here and I can assure you that good things happen in Philadelphia. I was witness to them.
