Trump conspiracies inspire threats against judges, jurors and election workers

Tammy Patrick:

We absolutely are in a situation where, when individuals leave the profession, they take with them, oftentimes, a lifetime of institutional knowledge, which is hard to get back.

One of the challenges in this moment is that, with that loss of institutional knowledge, we could see the increase of errors.

And with those errors occurring, unfortunately, I think it's going to be the case, because we saw this in the midterm elections, that any error can be turned and manipulated and leveraged and weaponized, as though it is somehow demonstrating that our elections are illegitimate, or that they lack integrity, when, in fact, elections are conducted by people, for people, and errors can happen.

And that's why it's important that we have infrastructures in place so, when a mistake is done or happens or occurs, that we have a situation where we can step in with policies and protocols to remedy those errors.
