Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner (D) issued a warning against voter interference at a press conference Monday. “I want people to be reassured that, when they get up tomorrow to go vote — if they have not voted already — that everybody in this city is working and has been working for months to make sure that there will be nothing tough about that experience and nothing to fear in that experience,” Krasner said. “But I also want to be clear. Anybody who thinks it's time to play militia: Eff around and find out,” he continued. “Anybody who thinks it's time to insult, to deride, to mistreat, to threaten people: Eff around and find out. We do have the cuffs, we do have the jail cells, we do have the Philly juries and we have the state prisons.” Krasner’s words come with one day remaining in the 2024 presidential race and his city set to possibly play a key role in whether Vice President Harris or former President Trump clinch the presidency. Trump is barely leading Harris in the Keystone State, up by only 0.7 percentage points, according to an average of polls from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ. The Philadelphia district attorney also said Monday that “if” someone is “going to try to turn an election into some form of coercion, if you're going to try to bully people, bully votes or voters, you're going to try to erase votes, you're going to try any of that nonsense — we're not playing.” “Eff around and find out,” he continued. Last week, Krasner sued tech billionaire Elon Musk and his pro-Trump super PAC, America PAC, due to their daily $1 million giveaways to swing state voters. “The Philadelphia District Attorney is charged with protecting the public from public nuisances and unfair trade practices, including illegal lotteries. The DA is also charged with protecting the public from interference with the integrity of elections,” Krasner said in a statement.
