BOTH should be thrown in jail. If you’re going to vote, know simple voting laws!

I was a Poll Watcher for a Republican campaign a few times. Do these not exist in other states? I’m in NY— each candidate was/is allowed two certified people to be at the polls and keep track of who’s voting and watch the proceedings. We would not have allowed this! In NY! (upstate)

Part of my job was to write down the names of people as they spoke their name and signed in. This way we knew who voted. It also helped because during the day the lists were sent back to “headquarters” and we could call who hadn’t voted and get them out (say please!) and alert us to any shenanigans. We were allowed voter rolls— every registered voter of either party. Both sides were. It was the most fair. I guess that’s why my little section of the state isn’t full Dem!

In my county the ballots are numbered by the poll worker and that number is put by the name of the voter on the roll so that if questioned that ballot of that voter can be found and pulled.

I agree. I will bet you money that these voters know their rights when it comes to their “entitlements”.
