'Democrat Mobs' Sign Hung On Door At Malvern Polling Place

A sign found at Sugartown Elementary School's polling place echoed the Republican talking point of "jobs not mobs" when voting.

MALVERN, PA – A sign found outside the polling place in Malvern has one local voter expressing concerns about voter intimidation.

A sign posted outside the polling place in Sugartown Elementary School, which was photographed by a voter at that location and shared to Twitter, reads "Easy ballot. Mobs-Democrats. Jobs-Republicans."

The user who posted the photo called it intimidation. Patch has reached out directly to the person who shared the photo and will update when we hear back.

The sign has since been removed by the judge of elections, according to Marsha Peltz, vice chair of Chester County Democratic Committee.

Officials with the Chester County Republican Party said they had no knowledge of the sign and no one from their party put the sign up.
