Poll - watchers

[Jimmy McGill]

Never seen one in person. Both parties claim they have attorneys on sight. Still never saw one.

My mom, god bless her, was a volunteer in retirement. She mentioned that there were a couple. But the county she was working would have no impact on elections.

I was cognizant when I voted in Story county of other people. My PTSD gives me an added alert. Didn't see anyone watching me/or other people.

I usually have to keep my eye out for them when I shower at the gym...

It's all part of the stop the steal movement. Flirt the line of intimidation to try to keep people from voting.

My biggest problem when I voted was that I had a man in front of me that clearly had dementia. His wife told him how to vote for Trump. He was being used. Other than that, I think it was a clean election place.

I want to clarify. If someone with dementia was being used to vote for Harris, I would be equally upset.

But.....the reality is our elections are pretty darn safe. No questions in my mind.

I was listening to this podcast, Into the Mix, about an election fraud case in Georgia that happened in 2012 but the woman wasn't arrested until 2016. Basically a new voter came in and didn't know how to vote, so the woman showed her how and left her to it. The election overseer of that location made her sign off that she helped her.

Later that sign off was used against her in court and said she helped the new voter vote for Obama, which wasn't true. Later when she was acquited, the overseer that made her sign the slip was later convicted of voter fraud and being part of a bigger Trump scheme.

The "Too big to rig" yard signs are kinda ironic.

It seems the Radical Right are the ones trying to "rig".

Here you go...

Yesterday I was at a local business open house event and met a gentleman who had once volunteered to be an election worker. Said he'd never do it again, partly because of the poll watchers, who are mostly flies on the wall during business hours, weren't once the doors were closed.

I have to say, as far as election workers go, I have never had a bad experience, and admire them greatly. I have never left a polling station feeling anything other than proud to have voted, and for the good and staunchly nonpartisan front they present.

Man, we should have IQ tests for voting. Who's with me?

The truth is 99.8% of the country, whichever side they support, is not crazy and there will be no issues.

I know you are being a smartass, which I can appreciate. But in all seriousness, I'm not quite sure we have 50% that could identify Benjamin Franklin as our greatest president ever......

Age cap on voting would solve a lot of problems
