From CNN:
In Connecticut, a new provision of state law that goes into effect July 1 seeks to largely bar law enforcement from being within 250 feet of a polling location, ballot dropbox or vote-counting site without the permission of election officials, according to state Rep. Matt Blumenthal, a Democrat who chairs his chamber’s government administration and election committee and is a lead sponsor of the new law.
“The reason why we’ve entertained these steps is because of the shocking and unprecedented statements and actions that Donald Trump and his allies, including in government, have undertaken to threaten and attack our elections,” he told CNN.
Responding to the recent moves by Democratic states, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement that Trump “is committed to ensuring that Americans have full confidence in the administration of elections, and that includes totally accurate and up-to-date voter rolls free of errors and unlawfully registered non-citizen voters.”
…Connecticut’s new law also requires municipal officials or election workers who receive a subpoena or warrant to notify the attorney general and secretary of state within 36 hours.
