In Goldfield, a small rural Nevada town where everyone knows everyone, Donald Trump swept the vote in 2020, but his national defeat sowed doubts in members of the small community for the upcoming presidential election. "We are going to hand count the ballots after this November election, after they run them through the Dominion voting machine", says Mary Jane Zakas, who initiated the recall of a local clerk. Across the swing state, several election officers have quit their job after suffering from harassment. "I have only been in this position for four years and yet I am one of the most senior clerks in the state," clerk-treasurer Amy Burgans tells AFP. She received a death threat in 2022 and always carries Narcan in her purse against potential fentanyl-laced ballots. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
