“No paper work or assignment or download to smart phone ever arrived”
Everything you said was exactly my experience. Did all the training. Got my badge & credentials from my Supervisor of Elections, but never got final packet from Orca. Called, left messages, emailed on Monday and early Tuesday. I went to the polling booth anyway in case there was someone else at the polls for another candidate. There was another poll watcher who never got his final paperwork or APP login info either.
He got through to someone and they emailed the APP login info. Had trouble with his phone staying connected to APP. Tried my Iphone 1/2 way through day and it worked ok.
But I’m in FL, with driver’s license, very few people said their name. Our polling location didn’t have books and wouldn’t print anything until the end of the day.
About 9am, we decided to count the people coming in to let the campaign at least have an idea about turnout.
Only 1 poll watcher per candidate allowed. Both of our badges said Connie Mack, but the election clerk never caught on to that.
It seemed so organized, but the pdf’s not getting to people was a total mess.
We did post a few problems on the trouble log and got called back right away about them.
