On the same webinar, Claire Woodall-Vogg, executive director of the Milwaukee, WI Election Commission and a member of EOLDN\u2019s advisory board, shared a sentiment echoed by election officials across the country: \u201cNo matter what you do, not feeling like you&#8217;re able to take care of your family in your home and make everyone feel safe is just very defeating.\u201d<\/p><p>It\u2019s challenging enough to run elections, and thousands of people do so every cycle and dedicate themselves to excellence. But those who bravely show up to work while being targeted with vile, gender-based abuse are to be especially thanked.<\/p><p>If you have experienced threats like this, you are not alone.
