Philly and Pennsylvania are gearing up to protect the election from Trump

Philadelphia and Pennsylvania officials vowed Wednesday to prevent attempts to “suppress the vote," saying they would protect the integrity of an election they see as threatened by President Donald Trump’s efforts to shake public confidence in how ballots are cast and counted.

Calling Trump “a bad actor," state Attorney General Josh Shapiro implored the public to ignore the “noise” and make plans to vote, whether in person or by mail.

“I will not let them interfere in any way, shape, or form with the will of the people. It will be respected whether Donald Trump wins Pennsylvania or Joe Biden wins Pennsylvania,” Shapiro, a Democrat, said during a Wednesday morning call with reporters. “We need to drown out the president’s rhetoric and ignore the doubt that he is trying to sow about this election.”

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, asked about Trump’s claim that “bad things happen” in Philadelphia elections, predicted the president was right — but for the wrong reason.
