Montgomery County DA sets up election trouble-shooting team

A team of Montgomery County prosecutors have been assigned to respond to possible Election Day complaints by Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele.

“A fair election is the cornerstone of democracy, and our office is ready to looking into any irregularities or problems with people voting,” Steele said in a release announcing the effort.

“While we don’t expect any, we stand ready to assist in protecting the integrity of our electoral system — as we do every election,” Steele said in his announcement.

First Assistant D.A. Edward F. McCann Jr. will head the team of assistant district attorneys and Montgomery County detectives who will work with county local law enforcement, as well as other government officials, to protect access to and integrity of the Nov. 7 election. Any reported violation of election laws will be investigated and, if appropriate, prosecuted, according to Steele.
