The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office is leading a task force of law enforcement and officials to deter any voter intimidation and election day crime.
For his part, Mayor Jim Kenney stressed the importance of maintaining a safe election process while praising the work of poll workers.
“We have to be patient because they will be counting every vote and we want them all to be counted,” Kenney said. Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw added that the number of uniformed officers on the streets will be increasing, but with certain limitations. “By law, our personnel cannot be near a polling station if it is not within a radius of 100 feet, more so because we are armed,” she said, adding that, “we have people with whom they can communicate in case of any problem and we will be ready to arrive at the place where these problems are registered.
