I just left the offices of the Philadelphia District Attorney's Election Task Force, whose approximately 60 assistant district attorneys are tasked with investigating all complaints about the city's election process.

In a brief news conference, officials said the task force had received “dozens” of reports so far, mostly about people intentionally blocking access to polling places.

District Attorney Larry Krasner said the behavior was “somewhat more aggressive” than in previous elections in the city, although the issues have been resolved without incident so far.

Officials are also investigating social media posts that allegedly show interactions with workers and inside polling places — potentially violating state wiretapping and election security laws.

So far there have been no arrests.

Krasner – a Democrat – issued a stark warning at the start of his speech, pointing to employees who printed T-shirts with the words FAFO – or “F Around and Find Out” – overnight.

“There are handcuffs. There are cells. There are courtrooms and there are Philadelphia jurors who want to know why this is a person who tried to erase their votes, block their votes, harass their votes or take away their votes.”
