Do you have a cell phone? Can you call the state election office? I know their hours post as 8-5 but they are open and take calls on election day beginning at 7 and not stopping till all polls in the state close.
Sorry, but I should have verified you are in Texas. I have only been an election judge in Texas.
At the polling place in a blue precinct the election judge will be a Rat but the assistant election judge is required to be from the other party. Might be a Rino or might be a real conservative. I hear you having legitimate concerns. I think it might be worth your while to make a few calls to the local “R” party and identify who that assistant judge will be. Call them and share your concerns. If you’re able to find out who that election assistant is at least you will know the best person to call over if you are having to vote at a machine that does it wrong. You still have the right to request a paper ballot UNLESS that has been changed since 2012, the last election I worked.
Also, I would add, if you know in advance your election judge is crooked, use the “report a complaint” form on the SoS site and report before the election.
My SOS is a nevertrumper.
Now what?
I’m not in TX.
I haven’t had faith in the vote at my precict since ‘14 when the evoting machines mysteriously lost their paper tape ballot backup in the first McDaniel primary vs. Cochran.
