GETTING READY. I've been privileged to assist across this country as a subject matter expert in protecting the rights of ALL Americans to vote and so I have some transparency on what is being done. It might calm folks a bit. A thread on anticipating the sh--show ahead. 1/
Each security plan has essentially the same goals: 1)mitigate risks to personnel and property; 2)a system to identify risks, determine their veracity, and communicate internally and externally; 3)dedicated team members who are focused on threats only and can communicate/decide quickly; 4)keep focus on GOTV. 2/
There are prevention protocols you would expect (doors locked, lighting, videos) and outreach to law enforcement early and often to anticipate threats to offices, personnel, and polling locations all while allowing organizers to not get distracted and to focus on GOTC. 3/
There is a tremendous focus on internal comms. A lot of disinformation is going to be thrown into the mix, trying to disrupt the GOTV efforts or voters who may believe it. Trained "strike" teams are in place to determine what is real, what needs law enforcement, and what needs to be refuted. 4/
There are separate emergency incident plans in case something is real and life or property are at risk. All active situations are for law enforcement. 5/
The greater likelihood is non-emergency incidents and they will vary. States are divided into regions and regional heads will be responsible for keeping both the state and national efforts aware. 6/
The "GOTV go kit" strategy is in place. There will be lots of bomb threats and work cannot stop each time. Offices are ready to simply evacuate if a sweep is determined necessary, and move tables and computers to another facility (outside/coffe shop, etc) until clear. 7/
Finally local and national media are well aware of what it likely to happen this time and there is considerable outreach in this regard as well. I can't say it is perfect, certainly it is horrible to have to think this way, but folks are not sitting by waiting, wondering. 8/8
