“Anyone who voted at the Pennsbury North-1 and Pennsbury North-2 polling place on Election Day at the main entrance to Chadds Ford Elementary School is being urged to get tested for coronavirus.
Bunny Welsh, former Chester County Sheriff, set up a Republican table inside the vestibule at the school, and all voters had to pass through that vestibule and table en route to voting, said Wayne Braffman, with the Chester County Democratic Party.
Welsh staffed the table from 6:15 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. while interacting with voters, Braffman said, adding she rarely wore a mask.
Welsh has since tested positive for coronavirus and is being treated at Chester County Hospital.”

It gets much worse. Some of those "50,000 Republican volunteers" could be armed former police and sheriffs:
In 1981, New Jersey Republicans hired county deputy sheriffs and local police outfitted with revolvers, two-way radios and armbands reading, “National Ballot Security Task Force” to patrol majority Black and Latinx precincts in the state. A New Jersey voter who was turned away from a polling place by a task force member sued, resulting in a 1982 consent decree barring the party from intimidating voters of color and deputizing off-duty police as poll watchers.
The 2020 presidential election will be the first in nearly 40 years when the Republican National Committee (RNC) won’t be bound by the terms of the 1982 decree. The RNC already is spending millions on a renewed voter suppression scheme involving thousands of poll observers targeting predominantly Black precincts in Philadelphia, for instance, where the Trump campaign is legally challenging not only the state’s mail-in ballot procedures but also a state statute that places limits on who may serve as a poll watcher.
