Patty McKerley had dealt with election observers before. But she said nothing could have prepared her for the encounter she had last November when an armed election observer walked into the Manchester, N.H., polling location where she was the moderator.

“We've seen a little bit on the threat side as far as threats of physical violence, but it really runs the gamut. Thankfully, here in New England, as we sit here, we've been in relatively good shape as far as those threats go,” he said. He said agents are already on the ground coordinating with secretary of state offices should an incident warrant a federal response.
