I’m working as an election officer for early voting.
In my state, it is illegal to campaign inside a polling place. My precinct is in a community center and just inside the door they have a tv running 24/7 and tuned to the local news. That is almost like a 24/7 Harris/Walz anti-Trump ad.
Everything on it is slanted for H/W and against Trump.
I’m in a deep blue area and the local GOP doesn’t seem interested in addressing any issue like this. (Or if they do, I never hear about it or see any result.)
Sample chyrons from yesterday:
TRUMP SUPPORTER RELEASED FROM PRISON (story about Steve Bannon)
BACKLASH AGAINST RACIST REMARKS AT TRUMP RALLY (not “thousands attend” or any of dozens of possible positive spins)
THOUSANDS LINE UP TO HEAR KAMALA HARRIS SPEAK
HARRIS TO DELIVER “CLOSING ARGUMENT” SPEECH AT JAN 6 SITE (gotta get that J6 dig in people’s faces)
Those are just what I saw during about a 20 minute break.
Also in the mix were plenty of political ads. I saw a few for R candidates, but mostly for D candidates.

Re Election voter tv:
That’s awful. There should be a law that no media are allowed in polling places.
Good for you! All reports welcome.
