(BBC News) North Carolina & California report potential voter intimidation
Officials in North Carolina have registered 14 cases of potential interference with or intimidation of voters, it has been reported. This comes as conservative activists who believe unfounded claims the 2020 election was corrupted by widespread fraud are taking it upon themselves to monitor outdoor ballot boxes.
The cases reported so far in North Carolina include eight of potential voter intimidation and one of possible voter interference, Reuters reports.
There are also five instances of suspected interference with election workers. The cases are spread across nine counties.
Elsewhere officials in Arizona say they have witnessed several cases of potential intimidation, including by armed activists in tactical gear. In California, conservative activists went door to door questioning householders about who lives at their residence, in activity that may have broken laws on intimidation and harassment, election officials said.
