Four court-appointed Republican poll watchers were either prohibited from entering or prohibited from leaving a number of Philadelphia polling places on Tuesday morning, according to a statement from the Republican National Committee ( RNC).
Republican poll watchers were likewise turned aside from York, Westmoreland, Allegheny, Lehigh, Cambria, Wyoming, and Lackawanna districts, RNC Chairman Michael Whatley reported on social media.
” We deployed our wandering lawyers, engaged with local officials, and can now record that all Republican poll watchers have been let into the building”, Whatley said.  ,  ,
In Philadelphia, RNC lawyers connected with Democrat District Attorney Larry Krasner, and officers were contacted in the other regions, an RNC national said on background.
” There is a story of this happening in Philadelphia, precisely because it’s such a Democrat area”, the RNC national said.
” This is a violence, and should not occur in a good and safe poll”, the RNC said in a statement. ” Refusing to allow Republicans in the room threatens the integrity and stability of Pennsylvania’s primaries”.
In Philadelphia, according to The Federalist, Democrat poll watchers surpassed Democratic ballot monitors in 2020. Republican spectators were either prevented from entering the Philadelphia Convention Center or allowed in, but kept very far away from the calculating to see what was happening.
The public is urged to review any election problems to PA. ProtectTheVote .com.
