Targeted Poll Worker Infiltration and Exclusion of Conservatives (AZ)

Established Fact

Activist networks including the Brennan Center for Justice and All Voting is Local published targeted Arizona-specific poll worker guides that described qualification standards, administrative procedures, and screening criteria for poll workers. The Brennan Center’s 2020 Arizona guide addressed prospective poll worker appointment processes; a 2022 joint guide addressed screening criteria including adherence to legal requirements. The campaign was coordinated at the organizational level and aimed at influencing election administration from within.
