Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner (D) on Friday offered a warning to individuals who may try to act as uncertified poll watchers in the state during next week's elections.
"I've got a jail cell, and I've got criminal charges and you can stand in front of a Philadelphia jury - which, by the way, is a diverse jury - and you can explain why you thought it was OK to come to Philly and steal our votes," Krasner said during an interview on CNN.
"This is the birthplace of democracy. We're not doing this," Krasner added. "Wannabe fascists stay home, and if your idea of how to have a democratic election is to steal it, then I've got something for you."
Krasner's message comes as Democrats voice concerns about potential voter intimidation following the Trump campaign's calls this month for thousands of poll watchers to be dispatched across the country.
