Meanwhile, at the Oct. 22 township meeting, board of commissioners President Deb Brinton, a judge of elections at the township municipal building polling place, asked Salisbury Township Chief of Police Kevin J. Soberick, “Will you be available if there’s problem?”
“We are aware of it,” Soberick said. “There’s a plan in place. We got information from the county district attorney’s office.”
Brinton was referring to concerns about possible disruptions or interference in the Election Day voting process at polling places.
