Kathy Boockvar – Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State who’s tasked with overseeing election conduct – is an ardent critic of President Trump, repeatedly attacking him as “demeaning the office of the presidency” and “dangerously unfit for office.”
Boockvar, who previously served as senior election modernization adviser to the critical swing state’s Governor, now heads Pennsylvania’s Department of State. The department is “responsible for monitoring all aspects of an election, from ballot access to voting provisions” – of paramount importance in light of Pennsylvania’s integral and contested status as of November 4th.
Boockvar, however, can hardly be seen as a neutral arbiter.
On March 7th, 2017, Boockvar tweeted that “Using the title ‘President’ before the word ‘Trump’ really demeans the office of the presidency…”

What’s more, she described President Trump “beyond doubt” to be ” dangerously unfit” for office:
Trump already provided so many arguments of being dangerously unfit; Now, he proved it beyond doubt @ByJohnLMicek https://t.co/nOBf7NMCBi

She’s also shared the pro-Clinton hashtag “We’reWithHer” in 2016 while sharing a quote of an individual attacking President Trump:
"This election is not just about Donald Trump's judgment;it's about our own" Kristen Kavanaugh, Marine Corps Veteran @kriskav #we'rewithher

Similarly, she attacked President Trump’s character as “damnable”:
Something about the contrast between what Yom Kippur is about and Trump's threats to sue the victims felt particularly damnable even for him https://t.co/MbYWfCJaBk
