Clergy in swing states are training to help maintain order on Election Day

In key swing states, clergy members are gearing up to act as "poll chaplains" on Election Day, positioned 100 feet from voting sites to offer support and help de-escalate tensions. This initiative comes amid heightened threats and harassment against officials, aiming to create a more peaceful voting environment. The involvement of faith leaders underscores the broader societal concern about the polarization and hostility surrounding the election, emphasizing a community-driven effort to maintain order and uphold democratic processes.
