The clip shows a male election worker sorting through ballots; he briefly looks around the room before picking up a pen and leaning over the ballot. ADKevin Karpinski, counsel for Montgomery County’s elections board, told board members on Wednesday the allegation of misconduct is unfounded. Karpinski said he interviewed the canvass worker shown in the clip, spoke to other volunteers who were working at the time and reviewed every ballot that the worker had helped to sort. But canvass workers are sitting six feet apart this year as a coronavirus precaution, making it more tedious for them to call a colleague over. “I do want to emphasize that he did nothing wrong,” Karpinski said, referring to the canvass worker in the video.
