Dem Campaign Engaged in Possible Voter Intimidation
A woman working with the campaign of a Pennsylvania Democrat engaged in voter intimidation in Pennsylvania, Republican congressional candidate Sean Parnell’s campaign has alleged.
Emily Resko, an intern for Parnell’s opponent Rep. Conor Lamb (D., Pa.), posted pictures of voter rolls on Snapchat with the caption “im about to see how alllllll you f**kers vote,” according to images obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
After tens of thousands of voters received the wrong ballots, Parnell asked courts to mandate poll watchers at satellite voting locations in the district. “Resko said the Lamb campaign picked her to assist the campaign’s lawyers in opposing Parnell’s request, writing on Snapchat: “[S]o how about because of my internship, me and this other boy were picked tonight to LITERALLY BE ASSISTANTS UNDER THE LAWYER ON THIS POTENTIAL CASE. I’M SO F**KING EXCITED f**k parnell and his voter suppression.” That message contained screenshots of tweets from Lamb and Democratic lawyer Marc Elias announcing their intent to intervene in the case. “[I] literally get to gather data for this case this is amazing im excited ok bye sorry.” . . .

We have taken immediate action & referred this to the US Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania & the Department of Justice.— Sean Parnell (@SeanParnellUSA) October 28, 2020
Elias, a partner at Perkins Coie law firm’s Washington, D.C., office, is considered Democrats’ go-to lawyer. He is actively involved in a number of election-related lawsuits across the country. Lamb is locked in a tight race with Parnell in Pennsylvania’s 17th Congressional district, which includes Pittsburgh suburbs. The race is considered one of the most competitive in the country.
