Sheriff expects no security issues at polls
The Jackson County
Sheriff’s Office will “drop
in” to local polling places
during the Nov. 8 election,
but Sheriff Janis Mangum
said deputies will not stay
at the precincts.
Some elections officials
across the country worry
about the potential for vio
lence as a result of the his
torically contentious presi
dential election pitting Hil
lary Clinton against Donald
Trump. Trump has publicly
urged his supporters to go
to polling places to watch
for voter fraud and has
repeatedly insisted that the
election is rigged against
him and voter fraud— from
Democrats —will be wide
spread.
In some districts where
polling places are at
schools, schools are sus
pending classes for the
day, out of concern about
election-related violence.
None of Jackson County’s
precincts feature voting in
school buildings.
“I really don’t,” Mangum
replied, when asked if she
anticipated any election-relat
ed issues on Nov. 8 requiring
a JCSO presence, but she
added that her office will be
ready to respond promptly
should anything arise.
