California lawmakers look to enact a bill to protect election workers
The California Senate Elections Committee unanimously advanced a bill on Monday that will allow election workers to keep their personal information hidden from the public. This bill was introduced in the wake of increased threats and harassment of election workers in the 2020 election. A survey conducted by the Brennan Center for Justice found that 1 in 5 election workers will likely quit before the next election due to increased threats and harassment. This bill would allow election workers to keep their names, homes addresses, other private data hidden from public purview.
