Krasner said his office isn’t the only one that is participating in the voter safety effort.
“This DA’s office, with the commissioner, with the FBI, with the [Philadelphia Police Department], with our state partners, we are here to make sure that, [when] you get out and vote, you will be safe. Your votes are going to be counted. It will be safe, and after it’s counted, it’s not going to be erased. It will be safe.”
Former City Commissioner Al Schmidt, who now heads up The Committee of 70, a non-partisan election watchdog group, believes every election has challenges, and this one is no exception. But he says it’s important for people to vote and make an investment in democracy.
“It’s the right thing to do, and if we truly value our democracy, it’s important to invest in the people who make it possible,” Schmidt said.
